Today we're talking to the innovative Jon Gillham about the unavoidable buzz of AI and whether it has an honourable place in marketing and copywriting.

AI’s dramatic increase in global use across many industries is resulting in more AI generated copy than ever before. How can we be sure the copy we’re reading is original and authentic?

This is where AI detection tools come in. Jon Gillham is the CEO and founder of Originality.AI, a tool that detects if you are a copy writer or an authentic talent.

In this episode, Jon gives his valuable insights on:

• How Origniality.AI is used to check for plagiarism via a confidence score
• Issues that come with passing off AI generated content as if it were original work
• The risk of factual accuracy when using AI tools
• Whether AI is endangering the craft of copywriting
• How important is it that the content we read online is 100% original anyway?

With AI on the rise, this isn’t one to miss! Tune in, pick a side and make sure to continue the conversation with friends, family and colleagues.

Listen up as Minnie and Ella discuss the challenges and opportunities of using AI in copywriting. This episode is for you if you are figuring out how to maintain your authentic brand voice while leveraging AI for efficiency.

You'll hear a working example as they demonstrate specific case study to highlight the differences of human writing vs AI text. You'll also get the hot take from two pro copywriters on the strengths and weaknesses of AI in capturing emotional connections and unique brand identities.

Is AI simply a tool to assist you in writing first drafts for your business, or is it strong enough to be a complete replacement for a copywriter?

In this episode, you get to decide.

But in our opinion? It's a no-brainer! There's a non-negotiable need for skilled human input to refine AI-generated content so that it truly resonates with customers. Listen in to find out why.
