What should I post to attract the attention of fans, but I can’t put up a copy?
million powder oil pipe big V thought of a lazy way: uses AI to help write .
He quickly wrote the topic and a few example sentences, handed it to AI and took a look, and the latter immediately helped him perfect everything for the next one.
Unexpectedly, when he posted these contents online, he unexpectedly obtained a Twitter in his history, which has almost the highest number of .
You should know that although he is a big V blogger of Youtube, he does not have many fans on Twitter. Although there are several posts that like thousands, most of them only have about tens of hundred likes.
△ Usually the number of likes is like this
After he made all the posting details and AI communication process publicized online, netizens joked:
You are not also posted by AI, right? Are we talking to AI now?
So what exactly does this popular post write?
"15 tips, AI has written 13.5"
This guy is called Ali Abdaal. He graduated from the Department of Medicine of Cambridge University. After working as a doctor for two years, he came out to be a self-media. Currently, he has 3.44 million fans on YouTube (usually called him Cambridge Ali in China) .
The cause of the incident was that he obtained a new APP authorization named Lex.
This APP is a bit like an AI editor, connected to the GPT-3 interface.
users only need to enter one sentence topic (for example, "How to prevent procrastination") plus a little generation condition, and AI can quickly generate a large wave of content you want:
△ At present, Lex is still in the testing stage
Ali Abdaal saw this and had the idea of using AI to post to himself.
He only used 2 minutes to list the topic he wanted to post - "15 tips on how to improve your productivity", and listed 2 (1.5 to be precise) suggestions for AI, let AI solve the remaining 13 by itself.
very quickly, AI has filled out the second little suggestion:
Put an hourglass on your desk - although it is just a simple reminder, it can allow you to make the most of your time. I use an hourglass timer, but you can also use the electronic hourglass app on your phone or computer.
Then AI’s creative inspiration erupted, and the remaining 13 small suggestions were taken out at will, and all the creations were completed almost without thinking:
extracted a few suggestions with high likes, and there was nothing wrong with AI writing, and it was even quite professional: Suggestion 3: Schedule a day a week to "not go online". This is a whole new change for me. I don't allow myself to go online every Wednesday until 5pm, which means no social media, no email, no news… nothing.
Suggestion 4: Make a "Don't Do" list. This contains a list of things you can't do in any case. For me, this list includes getting up in the morning to read emails, working on weekends, and frequent checking on social media.
Suggestion 5: Tomato Work Method . This is a time management technique that includes working for 25 minutes and then taking a 5 minute break. This helps me stay focused and avoid exhaustion…
Suggestion 7: Entering the flow state. It means that you are too focused on a certain task and forget the time. When you are in a flow state, you are usually in a "zone" (a state of comprehensive improvement in perception in all aspects), and the efficiency becomes very high...
Recommendation 13: Follow the 80/20 rule. The 80/20 rule means that 80% of the results come from 20% of the effort, which means you should focus on tasks that can give you the most results.
The guy bluntly said that this post brought him 125 new fans, nearly one million views and more than 20,000 interactions.After updating his "AI Generation Method" and the thoughts behind it, the guy also realized that some netizens might feel cheated.
After apologizing seriously and "please don't get out of the way", he promised that will not use AI to generate anything in the future.
However, in addition to making fun of it, some netizens expressed their questions about the quality of content generated by AI .
For example, some netizens said that although the process is very interesting, this matter has certain requirements for the topic itself. After all, AI writes a bit like a summary of other articles:
If you give it a topic of "How will inflation affect the real estate market", AI may not be able to find so many original articles available.
Some netizens tried this topic with GPT-3:
How will inflation affect the real estate market? Write a short article using this.
(definition of inflation is given) When the inflation rate is high, the purchasing power of the currency is low. This can affect the real estate market in several aspects:
First of all, , high inflation will make it difficult for people to afford a house. As the prices of goods and services rise, people are using to pay down payments or mortgages to pay less and less. This may lead to fewer people buying a house, which leads to a drop in housing prices.
second , high inflation will lead to higher interest rates. When inflation is high, lenders charge higher interest rates to offset the risk of lending. This may make it harder for people to get a mortgage and can lead to more expensive monthly payments.
third , high inflation will erode the net value of the house. As the prices of goods and services rise, the value of houses does not increase with it. This way, homeowners will have less net worth and it will become more difficult to sell the home.Overall, high inflation will have a negative impact on the real estate market. This may make housing more difficult for people to afford and could lead to price drops and homeowners’ equity decreases. Does
have the flavor of economics articles?
After reading it, this netizen commented:
is indeed a bit average, but it has written better than 99% people, and GPT-3 has been continuously optimized for more than two years.
GPT-3 is built in more writing apps
In addition to the Lex used by this guy, many APPs have implemented "AI writing functions" based on GPT-3. is the most famous content marketing generation company Jasper.
The company just received a US$125 million Series A financing, which is truly a "star enterprise" in the AI content generation track.
It first launched various auxiliary writing functions based on GPT-3 in 2021. It currently has more than 70,000 paid users, including Google , IBM and other major manufacturers are its customers; when AIGC became popular, it launched the AI painting function.
In addition, some netizens also recommend the personal.ai application, which is also based on GPT-3 to generate article suggestions. If you encounter a writing bottleneck, you can get more inspiration by looking for it directly.
Currently personal.ai is the price of for US$40 per month (about RMB 290) .
As for the API calls of GPT-3 itself, it has also been "clearly marked" on the official website (1 token is about 0.75 words/4 characters) :
It seems that AI writing has gradually taken the road of commercialization.
