Many people use AI to help themselves with work: less work time makes more money

On May 31st, many workers, especially freelancers and small business owners, have started using generative artificial intelligence tools to save time. Compared to the legal challenges that large companies need to face, they are more free

On May 31st, many workers, especially freelancers and small business owners, have started using generative artificial intelligence tools to save time. Compared to the legal challenges that large companies need to face, they are more free. They stated that these new technologies, including image and text generation tools, have made their work more efficient and fast, enabling them to undertake more new projects and earn more income.

Some people believe that generative artificial intelligence will completely change the labor industry. Many people also believe that this change has already occurred.

Next, let's take a look at how ordinary people use generative artificial intelligence tools in marketing, design, and legal fields.

In Kansas City, Missouri, Stephen Brucher is responsible for sales and marketing for a small company with only three people. The company's business is to produce promotional video content for companies in various fields such as technology and entertainment. Until this year, their business mainly came from direct customer consultation. For customer inquiries, Brucher will respond with personalized advertisements created specifically for customers, which typically take two to three days to integrate the advertising content.

Since January this year, Brucher has been trying to use artificial intelligence tools such as Midjournal and ChatGPT. He uses these tools to create custom illustrations and write promotional texts. He said that this can save three to four hours of time at a time. Now, he has more time to actively attract more customers. He estimates that the company's revenue is expected to increase by 50% this year compared to 2022.

Although using artificial intelligence tools can help improve work efficiency, not all attempts have been successful. Brucher has been using ChatGPT to write emails, but occasionally it can be funny. Once, he asked ChatGPT to redraw a promotional email to make the wording more attractive and make customers more "calling". But there were some fixed phrases in the email written by ChatGPT, such as "get ready for an electrification project", which made Brucher couldn't help but laugh.

Larry Lundstrom is a pastor from Jacksonville, Arkansas, and also a part-time freelance designer with an annual income of approximately $35000. During last winter's vacation, he began to try using some new artificial intelligence tools, such as Tome, which can help users generate PPTs.

Recently, Lundstrom used Tom to create a set of PPTs for mobile banking application Chime that company executives can use during school recruitment. Tome uses images and text to automatically generate PPTs, which Lundstrom and Chime subsequently modified and edited. He said that the entire process only took about two and a half days. Without these tools, creating, researching, and adding illustrations would take two weeks. In another task, Lundstrom used the artificial intelligence image generation tool Dall-E to generate artwork for the website, and then continued editing the images using Photoshop.

Lundstrom stated that some projects require 60% artificial intelligence and 40% manpower, but this proportion varies depending on the task. Now, Lundstrom can take on three client projects per week, while he can only take on one before starting using artificial intelligence. He said that freelance income is expected to double this year.

Lundstrom stated that learning how to proficiently use these tools takes time. He revealed that once, when he tried to use Dall-E to generate an image of a classic and flashy old car, the tool first generated some "very strange" things, like the space car in the 1960s anime. Lundstrom said that to figure out how to correctly prompt artificial intelligence, it requires repeated practice.

Barrett O'Neill runs a marketing company in Boston, primarily creating online content for customers who want to expand their online influence.

Last autumn, he began using artificial intelligence in his work. O'Neill was excited to find that chat robot tools like Koala could generate good enough scripts for his freelance team to perform simple editing, rather than spending money on them to write from scratch. With the help of artificial intelligence, it used to take many hours of research and writing to complete everything in one day.

All the main points and supporting content are in place, "O'Neill said." They just need to modify it, it doesn't sound too mechanical

O'Neill's company utilized artificial intelligence tools to increase its revenue by approximately $25000 per month by adding 10 more customers without adding employees.

These artificial intelligence tools can also enable people to pursue their own entrepreneurial projects. Shelia Huggins is a full-time lawyer in Durham, North Carolina, who is taking the time to start her own legal consulting website.

Two months ago, Hawkins began using ChatGPT to write articles for the website and create scripts for legal consultation videos produced on the YouTube channel. As a full-time lawyer, Huggins has a lot of work to do and often feels exhausted, which were originally tasks she couldn't complete at all

When Harkins mentioned these artificial intelligence tools, he said, "It liberated my mind so that I can focus on other things that really need to be focused on
