AI Discussion & Workflows

I noticed on all social media platforms including ones like YouTube and Reddit, there is AI content being pumped into them every day. A lot of it is low-quality stuff too. The issue is that because it can be generated so fast, it is taking over platforms. Any time I search for anything on YouTube, X, Reddit, ect. Ever other result seems to have AI involved. For people that rely on social media for their business or income stream, how do you compete with this? Can you use AI to compete with AI?

It seems like a lot of people default to ChatGPT and I have been using it, and I like it... But I want to see what other options are out there. I am sure there are probably better AI models for what I am looking to do. Even if I have to use a few of them for different things, I am okay with that. There are just so many now that I don't even know where to look or start. Ideally, I find one that can do everything I need but I am okay, like I said, with using a few different ones if I have to.

It seems AI is very much the future but how much of it will we be using? I am not sure. I know they used to say the internet would never catch on and here we are. They were wrong about that. People are saying the same thing now about AI but all the money is painting a different picture. Just like back when the internet was new, big names were putting all sorts of money into it. I am seeing the same thing with AI. So I am wondering how can someone like me stay ahead of the trends and know where things are going?

I am working on a new site and need a logo for it. I usually make one myself or hire someone to make one for me but it seems like people are charging a lot more these days for logos. I am considering using AI and seeing what it could come up with but I don't know if this is a good or bad idea.

I am talking about the captions. I see this a lot on social media but I am not sure how people are doing it. I would imagine most if not all are using AI but every time I find an AI platform that provides it, they either charge a fee, require you to sign up and limit your usage, or it gets watermarked. I am certain there has to be a free one without all this mess in the way.

This might be a hot take but this is how I feel. I run a number of socials and have some websites. I have been fairly successful in that I was able to earn a living from the comfort of my home, working around 4 hours a day. Since around 2022, I saw everything going down. Revenue, traffic, views, followers, interactions, sales, etc. etc. I am somewhat of a jack of all trades when it comes to earning online so I was able to shift things around to make up for losses but I still took a sizable hit. The only thing I can see changing everything this drastically and all at once is AI. I know this is around the time when everyone started using it. Companies started putting it in…

I know on X a lot of people tend to complain about AI generated stuff unless you put your own spin/creative talent into it. On Instagram, people care a lot less and you can actually get a good amount of interactions using AI content. My question is, are there any ways that AI can actually help my social media accounts? Or should I mostly avoid it as to not lose followers?

So I was thinking about this. My traffic dropped off massively on my sites around the same time. I have tried several things to fix it but nothing has. I know AI has been around longer than just the last few years. People have been using it online since at least 2012 I would say. Is there a chance that the traffic I was getting wasn't real but some form of AI the entire time? I mean I know real people were behind some of it but it just seems weird that it suddenly just all disappears.

I noticed there was a lot of job listings prior to 2020. There was always someone looking to hire people to work from their home offices. After the pandemic hit, a lot of people ended up working from home anyways. But since AI took off and became mainstream, it seems like a lot of freelance and remote work disappeared. Unless you are working for yourself, your options are few and far between. Did anyone else notice this or is it just me?

Looking back at your freelance journey, what is one tool you wish you had found in year one instead of year five? The one that would have saved you the most time, money, or stress?

I have a client who is 30 days late on a $3,000 invoice. I have sent two reminders. They respond with "soon" but no payment. How do you chase payment without damaging the relationship? Or should I not care about the relationship?

I have tried Trello, Asana, Monday, Notion, and ClickUp. Each has strengths. Each has flaws. What do you actually use to manage client projects without spending more time managing than doing?

I’ve got a trading setup in mind but don’t want to spend ages testing it manually. Has anyone used an AI tool that can analyze a strategy and break down the results? Curious to hear what worked for you.

I use AI for research, drafting, and editing. My clients assume the work is 100% me. Should I tell them? If yes, how? I do not want to seem less valuable but I also do not want to hide anything.

I want to automate onboarding, invoicing, and follow-ups. But I am scared of feeling robotic. My clients hire me for the personal relationship. How do you automate without becoming a machine?

I am drowning in tools. Project management, invoicing, email, scheduling, analytics. What is your actual tech stack? Not what you wish you used. What you actually pay for and rely on daily.

I'm interested in seeing how others are getting value from it.

Meal decisions and home maintenance are the first things I’m handing to an AI agent to reduce mental load. I’m curious what other personal tasks people have successfully automated this way.

I am trying to help a friend get some music for his YouTube channel. Just some background music. No lyrics or anything. He built up a channel and is close to getting monetized but the music he had been using as background music was flagged for copyright so he wants to move away from using it and use something he knows won't get his content flagged in the future.

New AI tools launch daily. I feel like I am falling behind if I do not try them all. But trying them all is a full-time job. How do you stay current without drowning in updates?

AI is growing fast and becoming part of daily life, which is exciting but also a bit worrying. Do you think it will keep improving life and industries or bring serious risks and ethical issues.

hello everyone I want to create an AI generated Instagram influencer but I'm new to this. Can anyone suggest the best tools, software, and resources to get started? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I keep seeing developers earn $200+/hour while no-code freelancers max out at $100. Should I learn to code, or is no-code the future? I do not want to waste six months learning Python if Web flow is enough.

I’m genuinely asking because when I tried freelancing on Upwork before, my first client turned out to be a scam, and it ended up getting my credit card blocked.

I've been looking for better prompt ideas and ways to make AI writing sound more natural. I came here hoping to find useful prompts, but most of what I see is people selling AI services. I already pay for Claude, so I'm mainly after prompt tips. Any recommendations?
