Is AI a threat to Copywriters? You’re wondering.

Will AI take your job and and make you face layoff?

Don’t panic!

AI is not a threat but a friendly assistant.

It makes your job easier, if you prompt it properly.

Thank goodness!

But, I can’t deny AI has brought a technological earthquake to the industry, forcing a remarkable revamp to the creation of copy.

While AI is the perfect tool to create tons of texts in minutes, seasoned human copywriters remain invaluable to handle, edit and provide the human touch to texts.

If you’re a beginner who writes simple texts, AI will surpass you because this AI agent is able to do repetitive work in the blink of an eye.

I’m sorry!

But you can improve your skills quickly!

On the other hand, if you’re a seasoned copywriter who can do extensive research, think strategically, understand human needs and are capable of weaving emotions into your copy, AI will enhance your work.

Companies will rush to your door demanding those precious skills.

Congrats!

How is AI transforming the Role of Copywriters?

Writing copy used to be a lonely job, but not any more.

Thanks to the invention of the artificial intelligence you now work in a team.

Much better!

Creating copy has turned into a collaborative job between artificial intelligence and a human copywriter because AI alone isn't a competitive advantage.

Artificial Intelligence Disadvantage

• AI can't help you get the results you want in your business.

• AI models need human guidance and supervision for fact-checking, accuracy and quality assurance.

• AI is only a resourceful assistant.

But AI can help you with your workflow and do the job effectively

So, it's a good idea to start your morning prompting your chosen artificial intelligence model,

while you sip delicious energizing coffee.

This way AI does the boring task for you, delivering all the first drafts you need to meet your deadline!

This software can only do simple task automation such as creating content idea list, initial drafts, topic outlines, product description, social media captions, emails and more in seconds.

This is great! AI is your ally.

No more writers block.

Human Copywriters Advantage

With the help of AI, copywriters become masters.

You only have to focus on higher-level creative and strategic work.

As a human writer you offer critical thinking, emotional touch and human refinement.

• Emotional bond: Successful copy depends on understanding human behavior,their emotions and reactions. Show empathy, and connect with an audience on a deep and lasting level. Start your message with a story they can relate, speak about their problems and share your own frustration.

• Freshness and Creativity: AI can only produce a text based on the information it has been fed. The AI model can’t create a new pattern. Creativity and freshness is the realm of human copywriters. They bring fresh ideas, and a particular point of view. As a copywriter you can choose the angle to present a message. That angle has to deliver a strong impact to hook readers.

• Strategy and Language Subtlety: Strategic Copywriting involves not only market research, client feedback analysis , but bearing in mind business goals, visitors intent and developing a messaging framework and content strategy. Only humans can do these tasks, applying human judgment and critical thinking.

• Fact Checking and Accuracy: AI tools not always get their facts rights. This requires require human fact-checking and editing to achieve the goal of your main message. 

Conclusion

Most successful copywriters in this new era will be those who are capable of adaptation to a new way of creating copy with AI models assistance instead of ignoring them.
