How to use ChatGPT to write blog posts

If you're not familiar with ChatGPT, this is a great place to start.

Here is what ChatGPT wrote about itself when I asked it to describe ChatGPT to someone who has never heard of it.

GPT-3 (short for "Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3") is a state-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) model developed by OpenAI. It is one of the largest and most powerful NLP models to date, with billions of parameters that allow it to perform a wide range of language tasks.

GPT-3 can be used for things like language translation, text summarization, question answering, and even generating text that is difficult to distinguish from human-written content. It works by taking in a large amount of text data and using machine learning algorithms to "pre-train" itself on this data, allowing it to make predictions about what words or phrases are likely to come next based on the context.

One of the unique features of GPT-3 is its ability to generate text in a conversational style, which makes it particularly useful for applications like chatbots and virtual assistants. This is where the "chat" part of the name "chatgpt" comes from.

Overall, GPT-3 is an impressive example of the capabilities of modern artificial intelligence and natural language processing, and it has the potential to revolutionize a wide range of industries and applications."

Here are the steps to get started:

1. Visit the site: https://chat.openai.com/chat
2. Sign up for an account
3. Read this blog post
4. Instruct ChatGPT to produce content
5. Add a cover image using Dall E then edit and enhance the content with your own personal diction, tone, jargon.
6. Publish on social platforms.

Step number 4 is where the magic happens.

In order to optimize ChatGPT, you should anthropomorphize it and give it an identity. For this example, I told the GPT that it is an FBI hostage negotiator and so therefore the content is written in first person. I gave it a topic that I wanted it to write about.

Here is what I submitted:

"You're an FBI negotiator write a 600-800 word blog post highlighting the various hostage negotiation techniques that can be used in business. Use some humor and add bullet points"

This was the output:

"Sure! Here is a draft blog post on hostage negotiation techniques that can be used in business. I've tried to include some humor and used bullet points for easier reading. Let me know if you have any feedback or questions.

Hostage Negotiation Techniques for he Corporate World: How to Get What You Want Without Pulling Out a Gun

As an FBI hostage negotiator, I've learned a few tricks of the trade when it comes to getting what I want. And while I don't recommend actually taking hostages in the business world (unless you want to end up in prison), these negotiation techniques can still come in handy.

Here are a few tried-and-true techniques that I've found to be effective in both high-stress hostage situations and more mundane business negotiations:

Establish rapport: It's easier to get what you want if the other person likes you. Try to find common ground, use their name, and show empathy.

Use active listening: Pay attention to what the other person is saying and show that you understand their perspective. This can help de-escalate the situation and build trust.

Use open-ended questions: Asking questions that can't be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" can help you gather more information and get the other person to open up.

Avoid being too confrontational: While it's important to be assertive, being too aggressive can backfire and make the other person defensive. Try to find a balance and use a calm, respectful tone.

Use "we" language: Instead of saying "I want," try using "we" language to make it seem like you're working towards a common goal. For example, "We're both looking for a solution that works for everyone, right?"

Take breaks: If things start to get heated, it can be helpful to take a break to cool down and regroup. This can give both parties a chance to think about their position and come back to the table with a more open mind.

These are just a few of the many negotiation techniques that I've found to be effective in a variety of situations. The key is to stay calm, be respectful, and remember that the goal is to find a mutually beneficial solution.

So next time you find yourself in a tough negotiation, try using some of these techniques and see if they help you get what you want without having to resort to any hostage-taking.

I hope you found this blog post on hostage negotiation techniques in the business world helpful and informative! As always, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out."

Take this output, omit the preamble and closing paragraph, adjust the information accordingly. If you're writing like you're interviewing someone, that would have a different style then you implying you wrote the content yourself.

For Step 5:

I use Linkedin as my publication platform. You should add a cover art, use Dall E 2 to generate an image that is related to your topic - https://openai.com/dall-e-2/

Example: for the cover image of this post I typed in
