Generative AI – Use tools effectively while avoiding common pitfalls [Podcast]

Strategies for effective implementation and business growth

ChatGPT and other Large Language Models (LLMs) are seemingly everywhere, and it’s important to learn what’s possible with them while acknowledging their weaknesses. Do LLMs even have their intelligence? Is ChatGPT ready for “prime time” or is it just a toy that can lead to fake and buggy stories?

Eric Enge, President of Pilot Holding, was with me at the SEJShow to share the truth behind the prevailing myths surrounding the Generative AI landscape and how to be successful with the tools instead.

Discover the problems that arise when you put too much trust in generative AI. You’ll also learn what’s possible and how to best leverage it in your organization while avoiding the common mistakes that come with LLMs.

We have to keep in mind that the real problem is that these things are trained on the open internet. We have all the information in the world on the internet, and that’s great, but we also have all the disinformation in the world on the internet, and a lot of blatantly intentional misinformation. –Eric Enge,41:18

Anyone who thinks SEO will disappear as a result doesn’t understand SEO. As long as people want to search and find things, and as long as there are tools to help people search and find, there will be SEO, end of story. —Eric Enge, 32:48

We are not yet at the point where this will replace man in all things. But we’ve gotten to a point where we’ve developed a really interesting tool that can be used constructively and creatively in a variety of ways.—Eric Enge, 37:38

At the moment we are experiencing this massive paradigm shift or the preparation for the change. We are definitely still in our infancy. Most of us SEOs have Google SGE running in our browsers. We carry out inquiries daily. Every time we ask a query, we get anxious or anxious. Now we see that an article appears before the typical organic results. We have to keep reminding ourselves that we are currently beta testing this. -Loren Baker, 04:21

The easiest way to get started is to take a page on your site, feed it into the model, give it the search query you want it to rank for, and ask what changes you need to make to improve your chances of ranking on it to improve the site or what gaps in content you need to close. –Eric Enge,44:22

Over time, EAT (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) becomes more and more important. Google places great emphasis on finding subject matter experts, fact-checking and a strong staff of experts who are responsible for the content. –Eric Enge, 48:22
