Don’t let generative AI cost you your job and reputation
You’ve read the headlines: “ChatGPT Invented Everything in Lawyer’s Court Brief.”
Misinformation and inaccuracies top the list of communicators’ concerns about using AI to write, according to a study by The Conference Board and Ragan Communications.
How can you make sure using generative AI to write won’t cost you your job and reputation?
This one’s easy.
You’re already fact-checking, right? You’re not pulling stuff off SomeRandomWebsite.com and running that in your news release? You’re using your journalism-adjacent skills to confirm that the source and information is reliable before using it.
Keep doing that with AI. Hack: I use ChatGPT 4.0 with the Google Chrome Web Access Plug-in to fetch me information. It includes a resources list with links. I check those before I run with a data point.
And always cite your source, of course. But, then, you’re already doing that.
