When AI can do everything, what’s left for humans?
This is the existential question everyone’s talking about after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s piece highlighting that generative AI could spike unemployment to 20% in the short term (2-5 year window).
That’s realistic. It might be higher, depending on how quickly the C-suite wants to chase profits over people, slowed down only by their own bureaucratic inertia. For certain, new hiring will take a hit first as employees become more productive.
A skilled developer today, using generative AI skillfully, can get 10-20x the work done of a developer without AI, easily. They know the right questions to ask, they know when AI is stuck in a loop, and they know how to critically QA the outputs.
However… we’re ignoring some basic realities.
Reality 1: Parkinson’s Law. Work expands to fill the time allotted. The reality is that there is an infinite amount of work to do. You already know this to be true, even in the age of AI. At Trust Insights, we use AI as much as we can, everywhere we can. Has my to do list gotten shorter? Nope. It’s getting LONGER.
Why?
Because as I become more productive, we can take on more work, more clients, more projects, more everything. That hour a week I saved on reporting? Consumed now by strategy or code generation or website repairs or… you get the idea.
In a forward-thinking company, you won’t be laid off as long as your work (and value) continues to expand.
Reality 2: Distribution is the new bottleneck. We can make more stuff than ever. Videos, audio, newsletters, an infinite supply of blog posts that no one reads.
The bottleneck is no longer making stuff. Now the bottleneck is getting people to pay attention to it. AI is of course intercepting us in places like search with AI Overviews/AI Mode. AI has been intercepting us for years in social media.
As the amount of stuff increases, our audience’s attention decreases for any one given piece of content. Your value as a professional is not only making stuff, but getting it to the right people – a task that’s harder than ever.
Can AI help? Sure. But it’s still a massive challenge that, more and more, requires person to person connection. Your personal brand matters more than ever.
Infinite amounts of stuff. Finite amounts of time and attention.
There’s plenty for you to do, even as you hand off stuff to AI as quickly as you can.

Go where the people are.
Don’t build on rented land.
These two maxims – both true – are at odds with each other. Yet with recent moves by X and Meta to allow even more garbage on their platforms, the pendulum wavers yet again.
Do you build where there are eyeballs?
Do you build where you have control over the environment?
Unsurprisingly, the answer is… you have to do both. Think of social media like a highway, and your content as billboards, and your own ecosystem as your diner.
A diner without billboards will get less traffic than a diner with billboards.
And no one eats a meal at a billboard.
Here’s what I do:
I create shorter form content here on LinkedIn, written in the Joplin app. I post this mostly on weekdays or whenever the mood strikes.
I save the posts and unless there’s one that’s a real dud, I move them into a subnotebook in Joplin for my YouTube videos.
On Sundays, I record a YouTube video for each of the LinkedIn posts, expanding on the points.
Each video gets transformed into an MP3 audio podcast.
I take the audio content, transcribe it with AI (Whisper), clean it up with AI to remove disfluencies (umm, uhh, you know, right?, cleaned up with Google Gemini), and turn it into an article.
All this gets posted on my personal website.
The articles then get rounded up in the following week’s newsletter.
This gives me five at-bats for every piece of content – the LinkedIn version, the video, the audio, the blog post, and the newsletter, spread over 2 weeks.
Some of it is hosted on rented land, like LinkedIn and YouTube.
Some of it is hosted on owned land, like my blog, audio podcast, and newsletter. The biggest, best stuff is there.
But it’s not rented OR owned placement. It’s BOTH. This process tries to serve every modality – people who want to read, people who want to listen, people who want to watch. And it makes sure the most valuable content is on the land I own, so that if LinkedIn or YouTube becomes the flaming disaster that X and Meta properties are becoming, I don’t lose everything and everyone.
Be everywhere you can be – and have a process for doing it.

If the outputs you’re getting from AI aren’t the quality you expect, chances are that there isn’t enough granularity in either the data you’re giving it or the prompt you’re asking it.
Remember that generative AI tools – language models in particular – need to talk. They need to say things out loud. They need to load up a conversation with relevant data BEFORE performing a task, or their performance will be suboptimal.
“Write me a blog post about…” yields dreck.
“Talk through the points about this topic…” will prime the model, especially if you do things like contrastive prompting. “Tell me what points about this topic are hotly debated” or “tell me what things about this topic are thought to be false but are actually true”.
Above all else, let the models talk. The more they talk, the more granular they can be, and the greater their precision.
Earlier today a friend sent me a photo with no other information. I asked Gemini to guess where it was. Unprimed, it guessed location 1, Aberyscir. Primed, it guessed location 2, Llangollen. The actual location is location 3, Caer Drewyn.
How did we increase its accuracy? By letting it talk.
This was the prompt for location 1’s result:
“Using your knowledge of geography, identify this location. Return your results as both latitude and longitude coordinates as well as an address.”
Pretty poor, huh?
Here is the prompt for location 2’s result:
“Using your knowledge of geography, identify this location. Return your results as both latitude and longitude coordinates as well as an address.
Here’s how to solve this task.
Identify major characteristics in the image, such as geographic features, landmarks, etc.
Identify patterns such as roads and rivers.
Develop a list of 5 candidate locations.
Score each location based on a 0-100 scale of probability it matches that location, with an explanation of which features map to the location.
Select the winning location by highest probability.”
By letting the model talk things out, it dramatically increased its accuracy.
Talking = granularity = precision.

As we close out 2024 and start looking at the road ahead, I have a thought exercise for you, one I’m doing myself.
What couldn’t you do before that AI enables you to do now? What was beyond your reach, because of resources or skill?
Everyone and their cousin will be doing more of what they’ve always done next year. More blog posts that 3 people read. More podcasts that 2 people listen to. More emails that go automatically into spam. All the existing practices and places are CROWDED. And because folks are using AI to do what they’ve always done, it still all sounds like identical corporate dreck.
This is something Katie and I discussed on yesterday’s livestream. Where could we go, where could you go, that you couldn’t before?
Because chances are, your competitors aren’t going there either. They’re also making more unread blog posts and emails. They’re also doing what everyone else has already done and hoping AI just helps them do more of that, faster.
Think outside of marketing. What could you create today that you couldn’t before generative AI, at least not without considerable expense and delay?
For example, in this post is our Ideal Customer Profile service landing page… converted to a Gregorian chant.
Now, is this necessarily a good idea? Maybe, maybe not. But it’s different, and it’s something that prior to generative AI would have been impractical to do. However, the exercise itself stretches our imaginations beyond yet another white paper, ebook, or podcast.
If you want to unlock value from AI, it’s not just about doing more of what you already do. It’s also about letting you do what you couldn’t do before.

Want better, more precise performance out of generative AI?
Give it more structure.
Language is ambiguous and messy. The more structure you can give, the better. What part of a prompt is background information? What’s the actual instructions? Which part are the examples?
When we write for humans, our own knowledge and experience helps us parse that out. But we don’t do such a hot job – ask anyone who’s had a manager that’s not great at communicating just how hard it is to discern what the manager is actually saying.
Generative AI has seen and learned just about every markup language on the Internet. When we structure our prompts using one of them, in a logical, intelligible way, generative AI performs better.
Here’s a simple example.
“You’re an email marketing expert. Write a 500 word blog post on the importance of deliverability protocols like SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and BIMI in email marketing. Talk about what each protocol is, why it matters to the marketer, and how they should get started. Be clear and include examples and analogies so that people don’t get confused.”
Suppose we structured this in something like Markdown, using the old, now-replaced Trust Insights RACE Framework (which has been supplanted by our RAPPEL framework):
—
Role
You are an email marketing expert.
Action
Write a 500 word blog post on the importance of deliverability protocols like SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and BIMI in email marketing.
Context
Talk about what each protocol is, why it matters to the marketer, and how they should get started.
Execution
Be clear and include examples and analogies so that people don’t get confused.
—
Just doing this alone produces a better result in most generative AI models. But you can now see how much more you could add to it. You could give it more background on its role. You could provide more context, like who the audience is. You could give it execution instructions like “don’t use delve” or “include a banana”.
And that’s the hidden secret. When you use structured prompting, you not only write prompts that are better for machines, but it gets you thinking about how to write better prompts as a human.
In many ways, prompting is just delegation. If the above example is not something you’d give to a human intern without a lot more detail, don’t give it to a machine either.

Proclaims the latest round of ‘thought leadership’ around generative AI.
No, no it isn’t. Not if you’re putting AI into PRODUCTION.
Here’s what I mean. Is prompting using specific, strict techniques like Chain of Thought less necessary now for consumer, end-user use of generative AI, in tools like ChatGPT? Yes, absolutely. Today’s reasoning models like o3 and Gemini 2.5 Advanced are VERY capable of inferring what our intent is and helping overcome naive, unhelpful prompts like “write me a blog post about B2B marketing in 2025”.
But the moment you want to go past casual, conversational use of generative AI? Prompt engineering is VITAL. Why? Because once you start baking AI into apps, you stop using the $20 ‘all-you-can-eat’ model of AI and start paying by the word (token).
Many of you on the early adopter phase are starting to work with great tools like n8n. If you put inefficient prompts in those tools, your bills are going to shock you, because every time you run that workflow, it swipes the credit card, and if you’re generating BIG responses, you can expect BIG bills once the workflow is in production.
Using a reasoning model that infers what you mean? They generate thousands and thousands of words for a single response – and you pay for every one of those once you leave the consumer interface. If you built that into an app, your AI bills will SKYROCKET. Ask any coder who’s used AI coding agents just how fast the bills pile up. On Reddit, folks using the new Gemini models were shocked when Google started sending them four-digit bills.
The difference between a 1,000 word response and a 2,000 word response may not seem like much to us as end users. In R&D with a single user, it doesn’t seem like much – it’s a penny or two difference probably. But multiply that times hundreds or thousands of uses, times hundreds or thousands of users? Pennies become thousands of dollars.
And when you’re using local AI to cut down on costs? Smaller models are much more sensitive to prompts than big foundation models. Gemma 3 is a smart, capable model, but you have to get the prompts right – and every wasted token makes each use take longer, use more power, or return less than optimal results.
Once you get past consumer end-use of generative AI, being skilled at prompt engineering and prompt optimization could be an order of magnitude’s savings on AI costs in production at scale.

The ethics of models are particularly tricky because (and I am NOT a lawyer) the models themselves aren’t the infringement per se.
At least in the US and most places, works generally fall in 2 buckets:
– Derivative: the produced work is clearly a derivation of the original. I paint cat ears on the Mona Lisa, it’s still obviously the Mona Lisa
– Transformative: the produced work is so changed that it’s unrecognizable as the original. I convert the Mona Lisa to a series of values based on light and then arrange those values as a musical score
With AI models, what is the model? It’s a big ol’ library of embeddings, which are statistics. Open up a model, and there’s no way you can confuse it with a blog post or a drawing or a piece of music.
On its face, it is clearly transformative. Thus, a copyright holder would have a hard time arguing that the model is a derivative of their work – especially with all the works amalgamated.
The law as it stands today doesn’t really have a provision for the output of the model, which is a step removed from the model. I can use the model to make an image that looks like yours or a piece of music that sounds like yours.
But existing law suggests that I as the user have the liability, not the maker of the model. I can just as easily Photoshop something and it’s clear that I the user violated someone’s IP rights, not Adobe. The difference is that Photoshop was not cobbled together from someone else’s images.
Is a model’s existence unethical if it leveraged someone else’s IP in part – because no model is ever just one person’s works – or is the use of it to deprive someone else of economic benefit of their works the unethical part, and the tech company just enables the unethical behavior?
I’d argue it’s the latter. The tech makes it easier for unethical people to behave badly. But is that the responsibility of the model maker to fix? Again, no clear answers. Photoshop, for example, will not allow some kinds of image editing (there are hardcoded system blocks for working with currency images to reduce counterfeiting), but there are certainly no other blocks for things like deepfakes and revenge porn. Does Adobe bear responsibility there?
And then if it does… who gets to decide what’s ethical? This is where I lean towards the tech company perspective. Does the head politician or ruling party in your country get to decide which religion an AI should recommend, or what rights you have as a non-heterosexual person? I should hope not – but if we decide AI models should have ethics, then we open the door to who gets to decide what those ethics are, and I’m super uncomfortable with letting politicians make those choices for me.
—
And that gets into the very nature of ethics itself. Which version? Deontology? That’s a problematic branch because whoever’s in charge sets the rules, and the assumption is that adherence to the rules, whatever they are, is always right.
Virtue ethics? That’s even worse – the idea that character makes actions ethical. Plus, machines aren’t sentient and thus can’t have character.
That leaves consequentialism – outcomes are ethical if they do the most good. But even that’s tricky because consequentialism often means screwing over minorities in favor of benefits to the majority because mathematically, that’s still doing the most good.
—
We do not disagree that the outputs of a model are driven by the user, and thus ultimately are the responsibility of the user.
Where there are arguments to be made is on training data and direct infringement by reproduction. For content used to train models, in almost all cases, permission was not given. It is explicit in US copyright law and most other copyright law that, unless we agree otherwise, we as creators have these rights exclusively:
The right to reproduce the copyrighted work
The right to prepare derivative works based upon the work
The right to distribute copies of the work to the public
The right to perform the copyrighted work publicly
The right to display the copyrighted work publicly
The right to perform the copyrighted work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission (for sound recordings)
If you can successfully prove that AI models infringe on these rights, then the model itself is in violation of copyright law. The pile of cases currently in litigation have not resolved this yet, but if the courts eventually rule for copyright holders, then the models WILL be infringing.
Why this matters is because the user may not willfully be violating copyright, but by the nature of a prompt may still be doing so. In a case like that, then a sued user could in turn sue the model maker for lia

In today’s episode, you’ll see the culmination of the content audit process, transforming qualitative insights into a strategic action plan. You’ll learn how to create a pre-flight checklist and a detailed scoring rubric using generative AI, enabling you to evaluate and enhance your newsletters effectively. By turning these insights into system instructions for AI tools like Google Gemini, you’ll build a powerful app that provides concrete recommendations for improvement. This process unlocks the real value of AI, making your content better and more engaging for your audience.
Mind Readings: How to Do a Content Audit With Generative AI, Part 4 of 4
What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.
All right, we are back talking about content audit. In part one, we gathered the data painfully. In part two, we analyzed the data using quantitative metrics. In part three, we did a qualitative analysis of what separates the top, the middle, and the bottom from each other and came up with some really strong recommendations.
In this part, we need to develop a plan. We need to develop a plan of what to do. So I’m going to pick up where we left off, which was having this really nice list of the things that separate the top and the bottom. What we want to do is continue our prompting and say, look, we know now, based on your analysis, what separates the top from the bottom.
Let’s build some best practices. Let’s build a checklist, maybe even build a scorecard so that we can evaluate potential newsletter. So let’s do that. Let’s start by saying, got it. So for planning highly effective content, take all the learnings from the top, five, bottom, five, and middle five.
And create for me a checklist, a pre-flight evaluation I can use for any newsletter to understand what I should be doing to maximize value for the reader, especially based on what gets people to enjoy a newsletter and put it in the top five.
Make the checklist. So we’ve got our checklist now. We have part one, core value and relevance. Is there a clear value proposition? Identified pain points of opportunities. Timeliness and urgency. Actionability and practicality. Content delivery, call to action, overall assessment and feedback.
This is good. This is a nice checklist. Let’s say, great. Next, build a scoring rubric that uses the checklist you just created so I can evaluate and score an issue of the newsletter.
The scoring rubric should use variable integer scores, such as 1 to 5, 1 to 7, etc., to score each component in the checklist. The rubric should total 100 points and be expressed as a score like X out of 100.
Build the scoring rubric now. So scoring rubric is one of those terms. It’s kind of a, I hesitate to say magic words, but it’s factually accurate. It’s one of those terms that has a very specific meaning in language models.
When you use it, they know exactly what you’re talking about, which is to build a methodology for scoring. That methodology is super powerful because it allows, it does two things. Number one, it helps you understand what you could be doing better in your content. It’s people who use generative AI with naive problems like, tell me what you like about this content, that doesn’t let a model think aloud nearly as much as a good scoring rubric does, where it’s walking through the evaluation points step by step.
So that’s part one of why these things are important. And two, because it’s formatted like this, it can do some analysis on an individual item basis in a much more granular way. When you ask gender of AI for its opinion without specifying exactly what you want it to evaluate, very often it’s going to gloss over things.
And that means it’s very difficult to replicate. So if you were to hand it different pieces of content, you might get a totally different analysis in a different format, and it wouldn’t be consistent. A scoring rubric kind of sets up guardrails so that a model has to do what it’s being told.
So what do we’ve got here? We’ve got here’s a scoring rubric based on the pre-flight checklist, almost timely news of a scoring rubric. And it’s got points available for, this is section one.
So this is what we want and see it’s, it’s got points and how to, how to award those points for each section. While it’s typing that, we’re going to get started on the next thing.
And the next thing is going to be turning this into system instructions. Great. Based on the scoring rubric, which I will include, create some system instructions for a large language model like Google Gemini to evaluate an issue of my newsletter.
I’ll give you. Give the LLM a copy of the newsletter, and it will score the newsletter using the rubric. After the scoring, it will deliver an assessment and concrete recommendations I can take to improve the score of the newsletter.
In the system instructions, leave a placeholder to paste the rubric. Build the system instructions using all the prompt engineering techniques you know that are relevant to the task to maximize its effectiveness.
such as chain of thought, tree of thought, reflection, reward functions, and other techniques. Right. As relevant, right? The system instructions in second person imperative.
All right. So the rubric we have here is it came up with it really nicely. We’re going to take that. Let’s copy that as markdown and store it in a text file.
And let’s just trim off the introductory stuff because we’re going to need that fairly shortly. System instructions for a newsletter evaluation. All right.
So the system instructions are done. We’re going to copy that. And there’s a placeholder at the very end, which is nice for putting our scoring rubric.
And there we have our instructions for evaluating an issue of my newsletter. So let’s put this into action. I’m going to go into Google Gemini.
To start a new gem. I’m going to call this almost timely news evaluator. And that huge big wap and junk of text goes straight in here.
Hit save, start a chat. Choose, I’ll start with Flash here. And now let’s give this a test run.
Let’s take it for a spin. Let’s put in yesterday’s newsletter. Here’s the newsletter to evaluate. Oh, you refuse to let me do that.
That would explain. All right. It’s going through the rubric.
Scored an 88 out of 100. Highly informative overall takeaway. Strengthen primary call to action. Condense lengthy sections. Enhanced actionable steps.
Diversify call to action. So now we’ve gone from doing the content audit and understanding what we could be doing better to an application.
We’ve turned those learnings into an app. And that is where you get to real value of AI, to unlock the real value of AI, because it’s not, it’s fine to look back and say, here’s what we did, it could have done better.
But now I can even use those same system instructions as that rubric to say, here’s an idea I have evaluated. Or here’s the first draft of my newsletter.
Evaluate. How do I make this better? So this is the fourth and final part of this series.
I would know it was really said five parts. I think we’re going to just do a four. In this process, we’ve gone from get the data, quantitatively analyze the data, qualitatively assess the data to understand what separates the good from the bad, and then extract those learnings into checklists, into scorecards, into apps, apps that we can use to improve performance going forward.
And that’s the real key here. That is the big money unlock is that you can now make everything better going forwards by having something I just copy and paste into with a one line prompt because we did all the work to build this thing.
Now we just have to, to use the app. And if you recall in parts two and three, I said, yeah, there’s a lot of writing code here to do this and it’s kind of a pain in the butt.
However, by having that code, now I can take future issues. rerun it through the exact same process and then rebuild the instructions, rebuild the scorecards based on new newsletters to continually improve.
So I could repeat this monthly or quarterly or maybe every year, but in doing so, it’s no longer a static thing. It will become a living document, a living methodology that can make for better newsletters.
So that’s the process from soup to nuts of doing a content audit with generative AI. You will note most of the use of generative AI was creating stuff, namely code.
We’re not having, we’re never letting generative AI do math on its own. It’s just a bad idea. And there’s sort of an ecosystem, if you will, that pipeline of get the data, process the data, then do the assessment and then come up with learnings.
That’s a good workflow that if you’re going to do this, you should incorporate into your own stuff. That way you’re taking advantage of generative AI for the things it does best.
To be clear, we’re not going to have generative AI write my newsletter for me, even though I’ve got a really good set of rules. We’re not going to have it do it for me for two reasons.
One, the advice is giving is very hard to implement because it’s a lot of style too. And two, I enjoy writing my newsletter. And when I stop enjoying it, then yeah, maybe I’ll have AI write it.
But I still enjoy it. It’s still something that’s fun to me. And as a result, this is advice that I give to people all the time on stage.
Give AI the things you don’t want to do and keep the things you do want to do, the things you enjoy doing. That’s the best use of the technology.
I hope you found this process helpful and useful. If you don’t want to do this for yourself, my company, Trust Insights, does this. We like this is literally the process.
It’s a little bit more advanced on some things, depending on how on, I use two data sources. We could have used more, we could have taken data out of the CRM.
We could have taken and survey data. I just used two simple data sources because I had them and they were convenient. And obviously the prompting and stuff, this was tailored for me, for my personal newsletter.
You should not use this for your newsletter because it’s based on my data. And so if you don’t feel like following all these steps and doing it yourself, we’re available for hire.

Mind Readings: How to Do a Content Audit With Generative AI, Part 3 of 4
What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.
All right. We’re now into part three in this series of performing a content audit. In part one, we gathered all the data together for my newsletter, the Almost Timely newsletter. We got Google Analytics data for both sessions and conversions. We got data from Substack and the nightmare it was to try and get that data wrangled into a single table.
That took way longer than it should have. In day two, we did the quantitative analysis. We had generative AI come up with Python code to take all of the data together using conversions as the outcome we care about. What could we do to maximize conversions? And so it created a composite score.
If I switch over to my desktop view here, we go into our analysis folder. We have our scored newsletters, top to bottom. These are the top five newsletters. These are the bottom five newsletters of, of what worked. What’s been working? What’s not been working?
So we’ve got this data now. What do we do about it? How do we handle this? So we’re going to use generative AI’s true magic power. I say that word somewhat facetiously, but we’re going to be able, what we want to do is we want to understand what in the content might create these top and bottom placements.
Let’s go ahead and go back into our newsletter folder. I’m going to create a folder called top five, create a folder called bottom five, and create a folder called everything else. And now I need to open up and have ready this analysis file.
Let’s go ahead and just open this up in Excel. Again, you can use the tool of your choice here. And in that first, in that second part, in the quantity of stuff, if you don’t want to do Python code, you don’t have to. You can use Excel to do and create your own ranking system. I just choose to use this because I think it’s the scientifically and mathematically the most valid way to draw these conclusions. So there’s my list of top and bottom newsletters. We have December 20, December 3rd, 2023. I’m going to go into my newsletter folder storage. You can see here. I’ve got all my newsletters all stocked up as files. I’m going to start saving the files in different sections as we find them. So December 3rd, 2023 is our first one here. This was the issue called AI contents preferred over human content. January 21st, 24. That’s going to be a second issue. Our third issue is the three words of, let’s say, what date is that? That’s 12.31. 12.18 is the next one. So the end of January. And 114 is the next one. So these are the top, or at least according to our scoring algorithm, these are the top five most converting newsletters. I’m going to go ahead and take them out of Joplin, which is where I store all this stuff. Again, use the system of your choice. I’m going to store them all in the top five folder to say these are the top five. This is where they belong. Now we’re going to go to the bottom of the list here and say, what are the newsletters that did the worst.
We have at the very bottom, generative AI for advanced citizenship. No one like that one. Followed by September 15th, the next generation models.
We have June 23rd, generative AI for professional development, August 25th. And then we have, what’s the last one here? July 14th, authenticity in the age of AI.
So let’s export that. Go to the, take that to our bottom five folder and save it there. So we should have our top five and our bottom five folders. And there they are.
I’m going to just put these in the folders themselves like so. And now we need to feed these to a generative AI tool. So let’s go into Google’s Gemini.
I’m going to use Gemini for this because Gemini can handle lots and lots of text. And these are not short newsletters. I’m going to prepare the files as I did earlier.
So I’m going to use my file prepper to make them into single files. So let’s go ahead and open up a new window here. Python file prepper input top five output top five dot tx t you do the exact same thing for the bottom five.
So there’s our top and bottom five newsletters. Those are the ones that did great and did poorly. And today, let’s do some editorializing. So we’re going to say, you’re an email newsletter expert who knows email marketing, content marketing, content creation, writing, content strategy.
Today we’ll be analyzing newsletter performance from a qualitative perspective to understand why a newsletter’s issues might be resonating or not resonating with audiences. First, what do you know about best practices for this topic? What are common mistakes made by less experienced email marketers? What are some expert tips and tricks that almost no one knows? So this, if you don’t remember, is the Trust Insights Repel framework, roll, tell the model who it is, action, give it a sense of what it is going to be doing today, and then Prime by asking it those questions, getting a sense of its knowledge.
So what do we know about this? Voice and tone, storytelling, value proposition, clarity and concisiness, common mistakes, focusing solely on metrics, too much selling, non-dive. serving. Yep. The feedback sandwich. So let’s go ahead and start doing the analysis.
And it has some questions here. My email newsletter, Almost Timely, serves to educate my audience of business professionals about marketing, analytics, data science, and AI. First, let me give you the top five highest scoring issues based on a composite of open and clicks, likes, and sessions to my website, calibrated against conversions.
Read through the top five, and briefly summarize the top five issues. We’ll give it the top five file, 38,000 tokens, about 30,000 words.
Okay, so it’s done at summary. We have the top five issues, summaries of each, and initial observations. Summarization is really important when you’re working with generative AI.
You always want generative AI to summarize documents, if or no other reasons to make sure it’s actually reading the documents and it’s interpreting it correctly. I’m going to say, great.
Next, I’m going to provide you with the bottom five newsletters, those newsletters that performed most poorly. As you did with the top five, summarize these based, summarize these.
Okay, so now we give it the bottom five, 48,000 tokens, about 39, 38,000 words. Let’s see what it comes up with. And now, while I’m thinking about it. that. I think I want to do a third one here of stuff that’s in the middle. So if we go back to our analysis and we look at the scored newsletters in the squishy middle, let’s pick out five issues from the dead center of the pack. So we’re going to go with September 22nd, which is AI Agents 101. Let’s go with May 19th. Are you falling behind a generative AI? May 26th, which is your future as an AI professional. November 19th of 2023. Let’s see. We got intermediate prompt engineering from October 13th of 2020. And we have June 16th, 2024. So we’ll take these and export them to the messy middle. Okay. Let’s go ahead and close the scored newsletters.
So let’s see. The bottom five. Authenticity in the age of AI, next generation, AI models, AI for advanced citizenship, professional development, how to make it sound more like you. Less immediately tactical information, more conceptual and strategic, less urgency, longer form. Now, let me give you a sample of five newsletters from the middle of the pack. These didn’t perform great.
But they’re not at the bottom of the list either. Perform the same summary and analysis. So let’s go ahead and take that middle five. We’re now at 133,000 tokens, which is about 100,000 words.
So this is a lot of information that we’re having these models crunch. This is part of the power of generative AI. Generative AI is way better at processing huge amounts of qualitative data, better than any tool that we have otherwise.
To do this kind of analysis by ourselves would be just incredibly painful. It would take us months to do instead of minutes. And so we want to, as we think about how to use generative AI as professionals, we should stop treating it like a blog post generator and start using its, analysis capabilities. So we’ve got fractal thinking. Your AI is a professional, AI agents, the AI gold mine, and falling behind. So now we need to start thinking. Great. Based on your analysis, let’s do some deep thinking. Think out loud step by step according to this set of processes. One, what makes the newsletters in the top five different from the newsletters in the middle five or the bottom five? Two, what makes the newsletters in the bottom?
So it looks like it’s trying to do some assessment of this already. It says top five highly tactical and action will focus on specific impact, urgent, and relevant. Bottom five, abstract and theoretical, less action oriented technical detail, heavy, less immediately relevant, blend of strategic, tactical, broader use case, balanced tone. All right. I wanted to think this through. Reflect on the data you’ve read and think this through deeply, especially from the perspective of a business audience. So the analysis that came up with is top five. What makes top five different? Clear and immediate value proposition. Focus on pain points and opportunities. Clear actionable steps. Timeline and relevance. Compelling narrative and direct tone, strategic call to action. The bottom five, abstract and theoretical. Lack of specificity and tangible outcomes. Too much big picture. Not enough here is how. Content, complexity, overwhelming information, weaker connection to immediate business concerns. Lack of integration with a call to action. This is a really useful analysis. That is a really, really useful analysis because it does highlight the different ways that I tend to write my newsletter. And so this qualitative analysis based on the quantitative data is how we’re going to to improve what it is we do. You can’t do this without the math part. That’s the real takeaway here is you can’t do this without the math parts. You have to do the quantitative first to figure out what is the top and bottom. Again, you can use any metric that you want. I used a fairly sophisticated one, but I think it did a pretty decent job. And now we have the qualitative assessment using the power of a generative model to say, this is why your top performers are what they are versus your bottom performers. Yeah, that’s that’s important. That is that that really speaks to what I could be doing better. So that’s the
qualitative analysis. In the next step, we’re going to turn that into some useful information. So stay tuned for that. If you enjoyed this video, please hit the like button. Subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already.

Mind Readings: How to Do a Content Audit With Generative AI, Part 2 of 4
What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.
All right, this is episode two in the series on doing a content audit for the newsletter. In the first episode, it was a lot of heavy lifting to get data from Substack and Google Analytics for into one place, into one, one format, one table. Even though it’s not a lot of data, it’s only 50-some-odd rows, it takes over 300 lines of code to do that because those systems are just so disparate. They don’t talk to each other.
So today, we’re going to try and use generative AI to come up with an analysis of what are the top and bottom issues in the newsletter. When we look at the data, let’s go ahead and bring up the data here. So we see the newsletter title. We see the number of deliveries and opens, the open rate, subscriptions driven, likes, comments, sessions, and conversions.
This is pretty stock data. The question is which of these data fields? And there are many of them in here, which of these data fields should we use to determine whether or not a newsletter is top or bottom. There’s a lot of information.
Now, when we do this sort of thing, there’s a bunch of different approaches you could take. You could just pick your favorite metric, which, okay, not great. You could do an average of all of them together, maybe rescale them up to be 0 to 100. That would be a bit better taking into account all the metrics. However, what we really want to do is we really want to focus on impact. The way to do that would be to take our data file, use conversions as our measure of success, and then see what is the correlation of all those other things, open rate, likes, comments, et cetera, with conversions. Now, this is something that you can do with spreadsheet software or Tableau and other data analysis software, you can do it with all sorts of things.
But as we said in the last episode, if this is the kind of analysis that someone’s going to want more than once, it’s a good idea to do it in a way that’s repeatable. And for me, that means code. I particularly enjoy using either R or Python. Since we did the first part of this project in Python, we may as well just keep going. However, you don’t have to.
I want to be very clear about that. You could use Excel and just do this ad hoc. Excel will get the job done. So I’m going to open up. Let’s go back to Anthropic’s Claude. Let’s go into my Python coding environment here, which has my pre-made instructions.
I’m going to say today we’re going to write a single Python script, Correlation. .5 to take in a CSV file named combined weekly data.csb and try to do a correlation analysis or a regression analysis of all the numeric columns versus the conversions column. The goal is to then devise a way of weighting all the dependent variables for coming up with a weighted mean based on the correlation strength of the column with conversions.
Does this make sense? Is there a better way to do this? I’ll provide you with a sample of a sample of the data. Don’t write code yet. Just help me think this through. I want to find a way to use all the relevant numeric data to rank and score issues of my newsletter. Don’t write code yet. Here’s my data.
Let’s talk about this. And now I’ll provide that weekly data file from the first episode. We’re going to rely on the machine to think things through. Your idea of using correlations to create weights as a solid starting point. Here are some ways we could think about this. Simple, multiple linear aggression, potential challenges to consider, suggested methodology, normalize all our variables to comparable scales account for multicolinerary, potentially create a composite score.
We want, I care most about accuracy. After all, I eventually want to do an assessment of what content I’m creating. So with that in mind, I want to create that composite score you mentioned using whatever will get me the highest accuracy and take into account all the data, the relevant data I have in advance.
What do you think? So we’re having a conversation. We’re having a conversation about analysis. Instead of just using simple correlations, initial exploratory analysis, do some feature engineering, model building, and a scoring system.
That’s pretty robust. I think that makes a lot of sense. Could we use something like really sophisticated learning models? Sure. But it might not be worth it in this case. Let’s go ahead. The file is stored in a folder named output, so the path is output slash combined weekly data.csv. There’s also a config.yml file that I use to control my scripts. I’ve attached a copy of it. So let’s give it the config file so that notice to update. Go ahead and write the analysis Python file as a single file, but feel free to add more configuration variables to config.comfig.ml.
We’ll name the analysis file, analysis. So it’s going to, oh, it’s using scikit learn. All right. That’s a good choice. It’s got my variables. Let’s see what it’s doing here. Oh, it’s got a default config, a multilinearity check, preparing features, training a random forest. Yep, very nice.
So this is the thing that people don’t understand about generative AI. With good prompting, it is an expert in what you do. It is an expert in what you want it to do. So I’m going to take this whole file. Let’s do you need to adjust config.yml.
It also gives me a list of packages to install in my environment, which would be good. We want that. Okay, so we’ve got our config file to update. And now let’s go ahead and update our analysis file. I’m just going to literally copy and paste from the code that Claude gave me here.
And now we give it a go and see what happens. This could just implode my computer. Well, it’s thinking. This is not a good sign. What we want to do is let’s do a bit of revision saying. Let’s use TQDM for logging to show progress step by step. And also, oh, it spit out an analysis already. I don’t love that it’s blind that you just kind of have to wait and see what happens.
But let’s see what it came up with. We have analysis for feature importances. What features are most important? Sessions, obviously, yes. Likes, things like that.
We have some lovely plots here. We have a correlation matrix. Ooh. So conversions are conversions. This correlation matrix is relatively, sessions obviously has a lot to do with that. We have a scatter matrix here to look at the data itself.
And, we have our scored newsletters. So we have a composite score and this merges together all that information and that waiting to come up with what our top newsletters are.
Now, this is really interesting. So we have, I should probably remove those issues there that are not. So this is a data quality issue. There’s a bunch of issues in my original file that are not great. They’re poor data.
They’re promos and things. And I know that. But they’re, they shouldn’t be in there. So maybe it’s time to go back in there and at least knock some of them out. So we have what?
For everyone, it’s going to be the date line first that we have to delete. Let’s scroll to the bottom coming soon. That’s unhelpful. We have an ad here. Let’s get rid of that because that’s not part of my content strategy.
New Year’s housekeeping. Also not helpful. We have a promotional piece there. Remove that promotional piece. Remove that promotional piece. There’s another blatant promo.
I guess the good news is that I don’t have a ton of ads to just go through and delete. The bad news also then is I don’t have a ton of ads to go through and delete, which means I’m not doing enough to promote myself and what I do.
All right. So that knocks out a lot of the garbage. So now we need to go back. We need to run our initial code to create the old data file. Then we run the analysis file to do the math again.
This is a sterling example of why it’s a good idea to, if you can, to use code, because I can make those changes now. Let’s take a look at our feature importances. Let’s take a look at our correlation matrix.
And let’s take a look at our scored newsletters. So I’ve got a few promos there that I still need to get rid of. But you can see things are weighted a bit more. So let’s go ahead and take out those additional promos because, again, that’s not what we’re doing today.
And the promos I’m getting rid of are the blatant sales pitch. Oh, it’s just the one. It’s got one blatant sales pitch in there. And a bizarre newsletter at the very bottom that has exactly one view, which is weird. The generative AI Beginners Toolkit.
Oh, that was a mistake. I remember that now. Okay. Now, as we did before, rerun, rerun our joint, rerun on analysis. And let’s see how our newsletters look. The analysis, the scored newsletters.
Oh, AI concealed. I sure removed today’s issue because it hasn’t had enough time to mature yet. We have a whole bunch of not yet available data in there. Here we go again. Okay, let’s look at our scored newsletters.
Got a blank row. That’s weird. Giving Tuesday edition did the least well. One click vote for new content, which I think was a survey. Upcoming webinars. Yeah, I have more cleaning to do in the dataset.
Let’s go back to our sub-stack. File. We want to be removing the Giving Tuesday promotion. One-click vote for new content. Any blank rows that shouldn’t be in there at all. And upcoming webinars.
All right. That removes those promotional. items once more unto the breach. And now we have our master score index of the top and bottom newsletters. So this is the quantitative scoring to understand a piece of content.
We are going to, we’re going to take a look then at the content to see what the top and bottom content has in common. But to do that, we needed to get the scoring done first, taking into account all of the different information that’s available. In our code that we use to generate that score, the code is essentially taking that correlation matrix, then doing a random forest walk through it to try and figure out what of all the variables contributes to conversions. Then from there, creating that weighted composite score. Now, is that the best way of doing that? It’s a pretty good way. Statistically, it is a pretty good way to handle this situation where you have a lot of data. You have a pretty clear outcome. You know what the outcome is. You want conversions, but you’ve got kind of a mess of all the different data you could be looking at. This methodology that Anthropic’s Claude came up with is a pretty good methodology. Is it the only one? No. You could be using things like gradient boosting or XG boost or any number of other tools. You could suggest that.
But I try to approach this from how a sophisticated marketer would ask the question, like, hey, I’ve got all this data, help me build a strategy and then build the necessary analysis tools to do that. Now, why wouldn’t you just put this into gendered of AI?
Just saying, hey, Claude, here’s my spreadsheet. Do the analysis for me. Well, it turns out that gender of AI is really bad at math. And also, even though it could write the code to do that ad hoc. We want to create a repeatable system. We want to create a system that if you’re asked to do this next month, you don’t have to go through all these steps over and over and over and over again. Instead, you just run these Python scripts and you’re off to the races.
That’s how I try to approach this sort of thing, at least for myself, because the other thing that will happen is over time, I may come back to this in like a cord and go, I don’t even remember what I did. But if I can just say, up, here’s the new data. And I’ve coached, codified it, then I don’t have to remember all the steps I took all I have to do is run the code. I can always give the code itself. You’ve, you’ve noticed I’ve not typed a single line of code. I’ve just copied and pasted stuff in this entire series because I’m not a particularly good Python code. My language of choices are, but by doing it this way, I’ve got the pre-baked goods that implement my ideas. And it’s those ideas that we want to bring to life. So we’re And now at the end of step two, of getting that quantitative analysis to decide what are the top and bottom newsletters that I could be looking at and I got 59 of them.
So in the next episode, we’re going to look at how to use gender AI now to look at the language and understand what it is that people like and don’t like.
