]]> Can you use AI as a ghostwriter or marketing assistant? https://estherjacobs.info/en/blog/can-you-use-ai-as-a-ghostwriter-or-marketing-assistant/ Thu, 08 May 2025 08:35:10 +0000 https://estherjacobs.info/?p=573965 Recently, I was invited to join an international panel on AI and ethics for writers. What struck me most was the tone of the conversation. It was cautious, even fearful at times, as if AI is something to be afraid of. That makes sense, because it’s new and evolving quickly. Still, I mostly see opportunities.

Instead of focusing on risks and limitations, I advocate for curiosity, responsibility, and most of all, staying in control. AI is not a replacement for human talent. It is an extension of it. Like a good editor, sparring partner, or copywriter, it can help lift your work to the next level. As long as you are the one deciding what goes in and what stays out.

An exciting moment because although I speak French quite well, I had not actively used the language for a while. And of course I wanted to make a good impression…

I decided to be smart about my preparation and asked ChatGPT to play my ‘mother-in-law’. “Ask me questions like a curious French mother would,” I typed, “and give me feedback on my answers.” Within minutes, I was engaged in a simulated conversation about my trip and my work. When ‘she’ asked me if I could help make her favorite recipe, I knew I was ready for the real test.

Fast forward to dinner: her first question in real life? “How was your trip?” I felt immediately at ease, exactly as I had practiced. And yes, I even helped out in the kitchen. Maybe not exactly the ideal daughter-in-law, but I managed just fine.

Save 5 hours per week with ChatGPT Voice Prompts https://estherjacobs.info/en/blog/more-efficient-with-your-inbox-with-chatgpt-voice-prompts/ Tue, 11 Feb 2025 14:04:54 +0000 https://estherjacobs.info/?p=573533 How much time and energy do you spend answering emails? In this column for Dutch career platform Intermediair.nl, AI expert Esther Jacobs shares how email can be done faster, easier, and even more enjoyably. She personally saves 5 hours per week with this simple adjustment.

As soon as I read an email, I immediately know how I want to respond. But typing it out and making the reply presentable often feels time-consuming. Not only because typing is slower than thinking, but also because I sometimes want to take a step back to maintain professionalism. However, this means I have to read the same email again later, rephrase my response, and then type it out. Fortunately, there’s now a better way!
