I, like many people, have been playing with the latest Artificial Intelligence programmes that were launched late last year.  

Already LinkedIn posts, tweets and other social media communications are being written by computers. 

Very clever computers. But are they any good?

I thought it might be fun to go head-to-head with openai.com and see what you think.   

I’ve written, and ‘openai’ has also written, a list of: 

Five ways to be more confident in 2023

At the end of this newsletter, you can vote for your favourite version and I’ll reveal the results next week. Will I beat the bot? 

Version One 

Five ways to be more confident in 2023.

Write a grateful list.

Each night, take a moment to write a short list of your successes, big or small.

Do Confidence. 

Confidence isn’t something you have - it’s something you do.  

Act like you are confident, even when you’re not. You’ll feel more self-assured even if you’re faking it.

Create a powerful affirmation.  

A phrase like, ‘I have all the confidence I need inside me now’ is a powerful way to focus your brain on what you can do.

Complete a task.  

It doesn’t need to be a big task, completion gives your confidence a boost. Go for two or three today.

Spend time with confident people.

Confidence spreads with human interaction. You become more confident by choosing to be with self-confident people.  

Version Two 

Five ways to be more confident in 2023. 

Set small goals and celebrate your achievements

Confidence can come from a sense of accomplishment, so setting goals for yourself and celebrating when you achieve them can be a great way to boost your confidence.

Practice self-care 

Taking care of yourself physically and emotionally can help you feel more confident and capable.  

Learn new skills 

Learning new skills can give you a sense of accomplishment and increase your confidence in your abilities.

Surround yourself with supportive people

Supportive people can help you feel more confident and encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone.

Be kind to yourself  

It's important to be kind and compassionate to yourself, especially when you're feeling uncertain or unsure. Remember that everyone makes mistakes and it's okay to not be perfect.

Which do you prefer?

Something that was definitely not written by AI is my new book. Write That Book (the book) is a must for anyone who is planning (or has started) to write their book. And it’s a brilliant, thoughtful gift for anyone who you think should write their book.
