Aiming for Average?

Image
I Aim for Excellence Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) is aiming for average…or is it? Using AI can be a huge time-saver and make you look like a superhero, or it can make you just like everyone else. Average and not very memorable. How Does AI Actually Work? Artificial Intelligence is just a program that has “learned” from some of the information on the internet. AI is programmed to compile information, sort out the parts relevant to your inquiry, and write your requested work. It is designed to be average, and it is not intended to stand out from the crowd. It cannot write something original. It cannot take information and form an opinion. That is not possible (yet). Artificial Intelligence? I bet you know people that are super smart but have no common sense. You likely know people with great common sense but lack in the “smart” area. Intelligent people have both smarts and common sense.  Have you ever tried to teach common sense to someone? Knowing how AI wo

What Every Website Needs

Image
List of Items Every Website Must Include Although this is not a comprehensive list, everything on this list should be included on all websites. These items are the bare minimum. Contact Information I cannot tell you how many people think that their website does not need contact information. I can tell you that I will not buy from any website (or person) that does not provide me a way to call them. If I have a problem with a product or service, I want to call someone to get the problem resolved. When websites do not include a phone number, I move on. Websites should also include email addresses and a form. Branding Many small business owners do not want to pay for a logo. They might think they do not really need one. Every business needs a logo, brand colors, and brand fonts. You can get these professionally created by a graphic designer, or go to a marketplace like Fiverr. There are also online websites that will create a free logo for you. Adobe Express Free Lo
