As the wave of AI technology rises, you might wonder if ChatGPT can’t just replace a copywriter. I get asked this all the time. It is of course a reasonable question.
Why not just use ChatGPT for copywriting? I always answer the following 👇
1. Business Context: AI's Blind Spot
Understanding a business's unique context is key in crafting effective copy. ChatGPT lacks this insight. It doesn't grasp the unique context of your business, the competitor landscape, frameworks and nuances that fuel a holistic marketing strategy. It will just use whatever it finds on the internet or in its database.
2. Emotion & Creativity: Beyond AI's Reach
ChatGPT can write, but can it truly connect? Copywriting is not just about words. It's an emotional journey. It requires a human touch, something ChatGPT lacks.
3. Strategy: Where an Expert Copywriter Shines
Copywriting is not just about writing. It's a strategic game with the specific goal to sell more. Expert copywriters are guides in the complex world of business promotion.
Many business owners struggle with marketing, they don't know what to do, they don't like it, and they feel alone. They need more than words, they need someone to guide them. Expert copywriters are marketing partners, a mental and emotional support, filling roles ChatGPT can't.
4. Brand Voice: More Than Just Words
Capturing a brand's essence in text? That's a human art. ChatGPT might mimic, but it can't fully embrace a brand's unique voice. It's about feeling, not just writing.
5. Originality: AI's Achilles Heel
Need original ideas? AI falls short here, it recycles whatever it finds. In a world craving novelty, AI-generated content often blends into the background. We need humans to create original ideas.
6. Adaptability: The Human Edge
Markets change. Trends shift. Human copywriters can adapt in real-time, something ChatGPT's algorithmic nature can't match. It might use some data to back up its trends, but it's research data from the past, not from actual and current conversations with your target audience. This human adaptability is a lot more impactful on your marketing and business success.
Conclusion: The Human-AI Synergy
AI is now so advanced, it could actually do almost any job, also that of a copywriter. However, AI is not so advanced yet to create world-class marketing copy that will make you stand out from your competition.
AI doesn't grasp business context, human emotions, and creativity.
These are the key distinctions that still make it so that AI can’t replace the human common sense and intuition.
So if you are leaving your faith in a robot. Blindy trusting ChatGPT is a risky move. Especially when you need a strategic marketing partner, not just a writer.
