So don’t do it. To write a white paper with AI, create a numbered list.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n A numbered list\u2014aka a strawberry white paper<\/a>\u2014presents a collage of related points.<\/p>\n You can arrange those points in sensible order.<\/p>\n But you don’t have to build a case that advances from A to B to C with a logical argument, as in a problem\/solution or chocolate white paper.<\/a><\/p>\n That makes the strawberry flavor much easier for an AI program to generate.<\/p>\n As you may know, I’ve done this with ChatGPT.<\/a> The AI instantly came up with nine strong points on my suggested topic.<\/p>\n I kept all nine points because they were good.<\/p>\n Then I asked it to write up each point in turn so it didn’t get overwhelmed by the word count.<\/p>\n You’ll likely have to do some initial research to start, some fact-checking on what ChatGPT writes, and some polishing to make its flat style sparkle.<\/p>\n But you’ll have your listicle white paper done much quicker than if you wrote it from scratch.<\/p>\n Even ChatGPT-3.5 can easily put out 200 or 300 words per prompt.<\/p>\n And it can do 400 or 500 words if you need them.<\/p>\n So here’s some quick math: nine points X 350 words plus Introduction and Conclusions, and you’re close to 3,500 words.<\/p>\n That’s about the sweet spot for a numbered list.<\/p>\n So if you want to try doing a white paper with ChatGPT, start with the light and lively strawberry flavor.<\/a><\/p>\n *Wait a second! What’s a numbered list? Strawberry?! If you aren’t familiar with the different types of white papers and the lingo I use for them, here’s the low-down.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\nHere’s how to get ChatGPT to write a numbered list<\/h3>\n
