AI Copywriting Tools – A Game-Changer or Just a Gimmick?
Manage episode 477514344 series 3371202
In this kickoff episode of our AI & Copywriting mini-series, expert copywriters Ella and Minnie explore the booming world of AI copywriting tools—like ChatGPT, Jasper, and Copy.ai—and unpack whether they’re truly revolutionary or just clever tech hype.
We dive into how generative AI has gone from novelty to necessity since 2022, with tools now streamlining content creation across websites, emails, and ads. But with rapid advancement comes real concerns: job displacement, intellectual property, and the ever-pressing question—can AI match human creativity?
Ella and Minnie explore the strengths of these tools (speed, efficiency, idea generation) alongside their flaws (lack of emotional intelligence, nuance, and originality). They test prompts live, showing how AI can be a great jumpstart—but often needs human refinement to truly shine.
We also cover popular AI writing tools like Claude, Deepseek, Writesonic, and Perplexity, offering tips on how to choose the right one based on your goals and budget.
The takeaway? It’s not “AI vs. human copywriters”—it’s “AI with human copywriters.” AI is a tool, not a replacement. Strategic, persuasive storytelling still relies on the human touch.
This episode sets the stage for the rest of our AI series, where we’ll dig into productivity, the human voice, ethical concerns, and how to future-proof your copywriting career.
