Can you imagine spending two decades working in a field you’re totally passionate about and then having an expert friend tell you that within 6 months AI would likely make your career redundant? 

Well that’s exactly what happened to our guest this week, Anneli Knight. 

Anneli is a strategic writing consultant, author and journalist. She regularly runs workshops helping executives write more effectively with her business, Eloquence Consulting.

Writing isn't just Anneli’s profession but her passion, so since that conversation with her friend, she’s been on quite the rollercoaster journey coming to terms with the reality of what AI does and what it means, not just for her own business but for all people wanting to write using Gen AI.

Anneli is very candid as she shares with us her journey of confronting a future shaped by AI, as well as the key learnings from her extensive experimentation with AI as a tool. 

In this episode we cover:

• Anneli's initial reaction to her friend’s blunt message and what she did next

• Practical techniques for working effectively with AI for writing without sacrificing your authentic voice
• Creative ways to use voice mode in ChatGPT to accelerate the writing you need to do, and . . .
• The limitations and ethical questions around the use of AI when it comes to creative writing.
