Week 3 - MBA 6601 - Hootsuite's OwlyWriter AI

I currently work in the marketing department for a small company. One of my responsibilities is creating content for our social media pages. This includes writing posts for projects, upcoming events and webinars, reposts, holidays, and anything else relevant to our industry. I have familiarized myself with the company's writing style, such as how we format posts for sharing projects and our professionalism when creating holiday posts.

Recently, I discovered that I can use AI to assist in the creation of social media posts. I no longer have to come up with the content by myself each time. Rather, I can use AI to generate ideas and provide me with inspiration.

I utilize Hootsuite for creating and scheduling social media content. The company recently devloped a new tool, OwlyWriter AI, that assists in the process of creating social media content. There are options for repurposing posts, getting inspiration, and generating captions, among others.




It is easy to select a tool from OwlyWriter AI as it pertains to your needs. The next step is simply inserting a topic or phrase for the AI to use, and it only takes a few seconds for the results to appear. For this example, I used the second paragraph in this blog for the AI to repurpose. Below are the results I received from the "get inspired" and "start from scratch" tools.




This tool has been extremely helpful for me as a social media writer as it makes the process that much easier. I do not ever copy the results directly and post them on my company's account, but I take inspiration from them. For instance, I use the results to get ideas on how to phrase sentences, which keywords to use, and relevant hashtags. This can also help in improving my company's SEO and post visibility. As this tool is currently BETA, I am excited to see how the AI will improve with time and continue to assist in the creation of social media content.

Week 5 - MBA 6601 - Midjourney for Creating AI Images

I recently discovered an AI-based image generator by Midjourney. As a relatively artistic person, I quickly became interested in exploring this tool's capabilities. What initally sparked my interest was the art I saw posted by Generative AI on LinkedIn. The page shares images that users had created in Midjourney including a chonky Chipmunk and "what-if" scenario if Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart had a family. It's funny that such different photos could have one thing in common, that is, artificial intelligence! AI can clearly make a wide range (if not limitless) style and type of art. Not only that, but the tool can create something factitious that appears to be real. As it continues improving, I am sure the AI-based images will fool many into thinking it produced an authentic image. According to its website,  Midjourney is "an independent research lab exploring new mediums of thought and expanding the imaginative powers of the human species." You can...

Week 8 - MBA 6601 - TikTok and AI

One thing I gave up over this past Lent was watching TikTok videos. I had the app for a while but found myself watching its content more and more often. It became an addiction. It is such a powerful tool, and I know the program displayed personalized content for me in hopes it would keep me watching. That is why I decided to take some time away from it - so I could focus on other things in my life instead of just watching videos. Surprisingly, after giving up TikTok over Lent I never went back to it. And I haven't thought about it much since. However, that doesn't mean it hasn't popped up again in my life. Recently, I came across a couple interesting articles about TikTok and AI. As with many other companies, TikTok is testing AI tools and technologies. Check out this article by The Verge  on the new TikTok "Tako" that is still in the testing phase. The idea is users can ask it to provide recommendations on what to watch, for example. As mentioned in the article, ...
