- The NEWEST Scam YouTubers Are Falling For
Do you know the most important aspect of a YouTube video?
It’s the video idea
A video with a good idea can have terrible editing
A mediocre voiceover
And still get 1,000s of views
To support a good idea you need a good script
In my opinion, the quality of your script is the second greatest lever you can pull when making a high quality video
It’s the stories that you share
The interesting facts that you uncover
The in-depth analysis that you blow your audience away with
Needless to say your scripts are important
But making high-quality scripts takes time
If you’ve written one before (or 100s in my case) then you’ll know this to be true
It’s for this reason that many people will outsource the scripts for their videos
And there’s nothing wrong with this
Except when you fall for this scam…
A few months ago, the online content landscape changed forever
Tools like ChatGPT, Jasper and Writesonic made the creation of written content instantaneous
You could produce a 1,000 word blog post or text in just a matter of seconds
Do you smell the scent of opportunity in the air?
All of a sudden the amount of online “writers” started to increase
What started to decrease was the certainty that you were getting what you paid for…
What do I mean by this?
Once these online AI writers were introduced into the marketplace
Many freelancers began relying on them to generate scripts for their clients
They were charging the same price for output that now took them a tenth of the time to create
Now, I’m not against the advancement of technology or using it to work more efficiently
But I have two issues with this situation:
Freelancers were claiming their content was human-made when it wasn’t
Most AI writers aren’t advanced enough to generate high quality scripts
Effectively, YouTubers were paying $30, $50, $100+ for scripts they could generate in seconds on their own using these same tools
While being under the guise that they were getting a script from a human writer
If you’re reading this and thinking “oh shit I may have fallen for this” or “how do I know if I may fall for this in the future?”
Don’t worry I’ve got your back…
I’ll break this down into two parts:
You’ve hired writers in the ChatGPT era and want to validate their work
You’re going to hire a writer now or in the future
1. Validating past work
Open up a script you’ve outsourced and copy the text
Go to Zerogpt.com
Paste the text into the dialogue box and hit “Detect Text”
Review the AI GPT score
In an ideal situation the score will look as follows:
This means your script was more likely human written (this is what you want)
However, if your script generates a result as seen below then you may have a AI-reliant writer on your hands:
2. Validating future freelancers
Sign up on Fiverr or Upwork and submit a scriptwriter job posting
Review applications like I teach you how to do in Tube Freedom
Receive demo work and enter sample into ZeroGPT
Review AI GPT score
Now, the question you may have is “how do I know what score constitutes a script written by AI?
From the sites documentation it’s not clear if there is a specific score that indicates one or the other
Here’s how I approach it
If ZeroGPT says “Your text is AI/GPT generated” I assume its from an AI writer
If ZeroGPT says “Your Text is Human Written” I assume it’s void of AI input
Now, you may not care if your writer is using these tools to write your scripts
And that’s totally okay
My goal with shedding light on this situation is to ensure you’re getting what you paid for (i.e. a human written script)
If you’re paying for human written and getting AI output instead
You may as well save your money and generate the scripts yourself…
Until next week,
