Do I Need to Start Using Artificial Intelligence (A.I.)?

Artificial Intelligence is taking the world by storm! There are so many impressive uses of AI across numerous industries. How does this affect your website? The general consensus in the website and graphic design field is to continue to hire professionals who can leverage these AI tools in the design process. This speeds up some of our design and editing tasks, but doesn’t replace the need for a professional.
🎯 Actionable Tip: If you have played around with ChatGPT yourself, you may find it helpful to ask ChatGPT or a similar AI bot to help you write a blog post. Try a prompt such as this: “Write a 1000 word blog post about the need for AI in the website design space.” See for yourself how valuable this can be as a first draft (not a final draft). You might use a tool like ChatGPT to get the creative juices flowing, then take the response, polish it up using your editing & expertise, then publish that onto your website.
Personally, I feel like AI generated copy feels too “AI,” although the technology is rapidly advancing to sound more natural. Plus, you can adjust your prompt to request a certain “tone.” Still, some of the AI baked into photo editing tools like Photoshop is incredible, especially the “Generative Fill” tools.
