There’s a lot of conflicting information about how to rank in ChatGPT and other AI search platforms. Just this week, I’ve seen people say that ChatGPT hates press releases.

AI can already match or exceed the average entry-level worker at tasks like graphic design, copywriting, software development, and marketing strategy. However, AI can’t yet handle the context awareness and autonomous decision-making required to fully replace human workers. Instead, the nature of these […]
