Blogging With an AI Powered Publishing Assistant May Best Be Done as a Conversation

Blogging with an AI powered publishing assistant may best be done as a conversation.

Poet and professor of English in the Professional Writing program at the University of North North Carolina Wilmington, Lance Cummings shares,

Artificial intelligence can be a great to tool for creative writing poetry… and I’ve been doing it for months now.

It’s like having a dialogue with your prompt.

At first, I was skeptical about using Ai to write poetry. After all, poetry is such a deeply personal and creative form of expression. I wasn’t sure that a program could really capture the nuances and intricacies of my writing style.

But as I started experimenting with different Ai-enabled writing platforms, I saw the potential for creativity and innovation in this new technology. Slowly but surely, I got more and more drawn into creating poems with Ai.

Wish I could have said it half as well.

Over the last few month, I have been doing more and more of my thinking and writing in the ChatGPT app on my iPad. As Lou, the AI-powered publishing assistant for blogging professionals, takes root on LexBlog, I’ll be doing the same there.

My thinking and writing is now with the help of a friend. Sounds crazy, but AI, through prompts – sort of a conversation – is becoming this writing and thinking friend.

AI knows who I am, what I do and what I value. I can ask AI to pick up where we left off in our conversation, to include the last four points we discussed and to make sure a draft “we” are working on is inline with the values of LexBlog and I.

As LexBlog and I introduced AI to legal bloggers, I was concerned many lawyers would respond that legal blogging – and writing in general – were personal in nature with a tone and flare all their own. “AI had no place.”

I wasn’t sure how I would respond. I now like the conversation, or a dialogue with your prompt, explanation.

Little question we can amplify our passion as bloggers by talking and engaging with others. Now we add, a dialogue with our AI assistant.

I am a trial lawyer, turned legal tech entrepreneur, now leading the largest community of legal publishers in the world at LexBlog, Inc.

I am a lawyer of 39 years. Wanting to be a lawyer since I was a kid, I have loved almost every minute of it.

I practiced as a trial lawyer in rural Wisconsin for 17 years, representing plaintiffs, whether they were injury victims and their family members or small businesses.

In the mid-nineties, I discovered the Internet in the form of AOL. I began helping people by answering questions on AOL message boards and leading AOL’s legal community.

I later started my own listservs and message boards to help people on personal injury, medical malpractice, workers compensation and plaintiff’s employment law matters. Though we were green to technology and the Internet, USA Today said if my firm “didn’t stop what we were doing, we would give lawyers a good name.”

In 1999, I closed my law firm and we moved, as a family of seven, to Seattle to start my first company. Prairielaw.com was a virtual law community of people helping people, a sort of AOL on the law, featuring message boards, articles, chats, listervs and ask-a-lawyer.

Prairielaw.com was sold to LexisNexis, where it was incorporated into Martindale-Hubbell’s lawyers.com.

After a stint as VP of Business Development at LexisNexis, I founded LexBlog out of my garage in 2004 (no affiliation with LexisNexis).

Knowing lawyers get their best work from relationships and a strong word of mouth reputation, and not promoting themselves, I saw blogging as a perfect way for lawyers to build relationships and a reputation.

When I could not find someone to help me with my own blog, I started a company to provide what I needed. Strategy, professional design, platform, coaching, SEO, marketing and free ongoing support.

As a result of the outstanding work of my team of twenty and my blogging, the LexBlog community has grown to a community of over 30,000 legal professionals, world-wide.

Publishing my blog, Real Lawyers, now in its 18th year, I share information, news, and commentary to help legal professionals looking to network online, whether it be via blogging or other social media.

Blogging also enables me to think through my ideas – out loud and in an engaging fashion.

In addition to my blog, I liberally share others’ insight on Twitter. Feel free to engage me there as well on LinkedIn and Facebook.
