Chat GPT and other text generation tools have been a fantastic workflow upgrade for me. Text is a wonderful medium, as it function as a sort of "universal integration." AI generated content can be simply copied and pasted into a wide variety of tools and used for everything from marketing copy to writing product requirement docs.

It's not perfect though, and will not do all of the work for you. This means finding the best way to weave it into your processes rather than replacing them. Often this involves swapping roles of writer and editor with the AI in order to create a quality deliverable.

It's a bit of a shift to break up well worn processes with trips to the ChatGPT or other generative AI tool interfaces, but it feels natural with a bit of practice. The benefits are also more than enough to outweigh the headache of change. I've used generative AI to save me hundreds of hours of writing, and a significant amount of money that I didn't need to spend on content creation. It's been more than worth taking the time to learn how to use it effectively, and I hope I can share that value with readers. Minus all the time it takes to discover the best methods!
