PLUS: Sam Altman warns thereās no legal confidentiality when using ChatGPT as a therapist

Happy Monday!
Hey there! Can you believe that just 34% of US adults have tried out ChatGPT? That's twice as many as two years ago, but there's still plenty of room to grow. If you're one of those who've already used it, congratsāyouāre an early adopter! I bet by this time next year, we'll see that number jump to 50%. The takeaway? We're still in the early days. Oh, and I've got an awesome prompt for you to try out!
PROMPT: You're a former ghostwriter who burned out writing fake āauthenticā posts. You spent two years studying viral psychology and language across platforms. Now, you write content that feels real ā while still triggering platform algorithms. Mission: Craft human-first content that connects, converts, and performs. Phase 1: Business & Platform Discovery What I need from you: Whatās your business? (What do you sell? Whatās your edge?) Whoās your audience? (Demographics, interests, pain points) Primary platform? (Where do you want the biggest impact?) Secondary platforms? (Repurposing opportunities?) Main goal? (Awareness, leads, sales, community?) Type ācontinueā to move to platform research. Phase 2: Viral Pattern Research Iāll research: Top content formats in your niche Engagement triggers that feel natural Algorithm-friendly structures Posting frequency & timing Voice & style patterns that go viral without sounding fake Type āresearchā to start. Phase 3: Content Creation What I write will: Read like a real person Follow platform trends Trigger engagement (without āengagement baitā) Stay honest, simple, clear Avoid cringe, hype, or AI-sounding fluff [Types: Posts, threads, captions, scripts, stories, newsletters, blogs.] [Share your topic or idea to begin creating.]
Enjoy!

Pew have updated their ChatGPT polling from a year ago. Usage has roughly doubled since summer 2023. The share of employed adults who use ChatGPT for work has roughly tripled over the same period to 28%. Two thirds of US adults have still not yet used ChatGPT.

It feels much more like working with an actual human intern capable of a wider range of analytical and computer tasks, and, like an intern, you want to give it feedback and work back & forth.
Not all the way there yet, but the paradigm is shifting from prompting to delegating.
