ChatGPT and Linkedin AI for Articles and Content. (They suck)

ChatGPT and Linkedin AI for Articles and Content.

OK, So, I am old fashioned. I like to write my own content. And after experimenting with ChatGPT and Linkedin’s AI optimization tools. I have to say... THEY ARE TERRIBLE. I think they are good reading if you are a robot. For humans.... Not so much. They suck all the personality right out of the article. I am going to post an original article, the ChatGPT “Optimized version for Linkedin SEO” and the Linkedin “SEO optimized version for a Linkedin Article”. Get ready, it’s a lot of reading. Article (B) is not a lot of reading, LOL! Chat GPT went hard with that prompt!

NB: I do like the hashtag suggestions that the AI tools suggest :)

- Have a look at the three different articles:

(A) Original, written by my own fair hands (with spelling mistakes)

(B) Chat GPT (Prompt: Optimize article for Linkedin SEO)

(B) ChatGPT for Linkedin (Prompt: Rewrite as SEO friendly Linkedin article)

(A) Original, written by my own fair hands

Your boss asks you a question. What do you do? You answer. Right!?

Wrong!

Watch any politician, movie star or trained communicator. They never immediately "answer" the question. Now, please, don't misunderstand, I hate expressions like, "that's a great question... blah, blah". These are useful when you do not have any other tools in your communication toolbox. However, here are a few more tools and scenarios for you to think about and use. We never just "answer" questions.

Communication is not just words

1) Repeat the last word or the key word of the question that you were asked.

Check the other person's facial expression and body language. When you repeat the keyword, did their shoulders go up (showing feeling tension), or did their shoulders go down and facial expressions soften (showing comfort/relaxed). This should tell you if the questioner is looking for a direct answer, or whether you should tread lightly.

2) Did you steal the last cookie?

A) No, I didn't

B) A cookie has been stolen?

Obviously, both can be used. But, if we monitor the questioner's non-verbal signals we should be able to intelligently be able to decide if we want to answer or deflect. This is some real profesional communication/politician/CIA level deflection of a question. You never need to answer a question. There is nealry always something else you can say. Just don't be fake. Use a mix of these techniques but be genuine and use active language when you want the listener to engage with you.

3) Journalist asks a question to a (greasy) Politician: "Minister Richards, can you tell us whey the unemployment rate has gone up by 10% this year?

Politician: "Let me tell you about my morning. I got up and strolled down the main street iof this wonderful city and I went in Mavis's Café where I had a cup of tea and great full English breakfast. People like Mavis are the backbone of this country; a wonderful mother and local business owner, people like Mavis are the ones taking the inititiave to drive the economy forward for her family and this great country. Make sure you support your local economy by supporting your local heroes like Mavis."

Please DO NOT do this. Personally, I think that journalists should cut politicians off and end TV interviews when they do this. But Journalists, let them off the hook all the time.

It's OK, to change the subject slightly or monologue a little while you think. But, I prefer to just be silent while I gather my thoughts. If I don't want to answer, or can't answer the question I am not going to just babble on, hoping th the listener just "gives up".

4) Can you tell us more about the software update? Why isn't it on time?

A) Yes, there have been some problems with the software update... blah blah

B) The software update? Can you just clarify what "more" you would like to know about?

You are totally in your rights to use "B". They have asked you 2 questions. Always separate questions and ask them back one at a time to the questioner. Questioners have a responsibility to ask individual and concise questions. If they do not do this, you have to take the lead and separate/clarify.

5) There is NEVER any need to answer immediately or speak quickly.

Even in a "do or die" situation where you need to tell your friend to "cut the rope!". You should still gather yourself, take your time and give clear instructions. Instead of Yelling "cut the rope, cut the rope!!"

Try this instead: "Vicky, pick up the knife with your right hand, go over to the rope, put the knife on the rope, push down hard with the knife and pull it towards you.

The fact that you spoke slowly and considerately means she is much more likely to listen and process your needs. People do not react to raised voices or fast talking.

When you answer a question: More pauses + less words = more impact.

Next time you get asked any question by anybody, I want you to be silent, breathe, look at their face and body, repeat a keyword or the last word they said and employ some of the above. Be yourself, be authentic but balance it with technique.

Ok.... Now we have our robot overlords' versions LOL

Title: Mastering Communication: Effective Strategies for Answering Questions

Description:

Have you ever noticed how seasoned communicators handle questions? They rarely jump straight into an answer. Let's delve into why immediate responses may not always be the best approach and explore powerful techniques to enhance your communication skills.

Communication Beyond Words:

Effective communication extends beyond mere words. Learn the art of interpreting non-verbal cues to gauge the true intent behind a question. By repeating key words and observing body language, you can decipher whether a direct answer is warranted or if a more nuanced response is needed.

Strategic Deflection:

Consider this scenario: faced with a probing question, do you answer directly or employ deflection? Monitoring the questioner's non-verbal signals can guide your response. Just like seasoned professionals, you too can master the art of deflection without appearing disingenuous.?

Navigating Tough Questions:

Journalists often confront politicians with challenging inquiries. Instead of sidestepping, learn to address questions tactfully. Avoid monologues and stay focused on the topic at hand. Remember, clarity and conciseness are key when responding to complex queries.

Timing is Everything:

In high-pressure situations, such as emergencies, clear communication is paramount. Rather than rushing, take a moment to gather your thoughts. By speaking slowly and deliberately, you ensure your message is understood and acted upon effectively.

The Power of Pauses:

When it comes to answering questions, less can indeed be more. Embrace pauses to add impact to your responses. By allowing moments of reflection, you demonstrate thoughtfulness and command attention.

Conclusion:

The next time you're confronted with a question, remember to pause, observe, and respond strategically. By mastering these techniques, you can elevate your communication skills and make a lasting impression in any situation. Stay authentic, stay engaged, and let your communication prowess shine.
