AI Content Generation for Writers, Editors and Content Managers

When I first got started with AI content generation as a professional writer, it was trial by fire. I was told in no uncertain terms that I had to start using it as part of my current work assignment, to hopefully get the project back on track. Over the next three months, I buried myself in learning about AI content generation: how it works, how it can (and cannot) generate numerous different types of documentation suitable for businesses, nonprofits, agencies and other organizations. Suffice to say, it was a crash course in what works, what doesn't, and how to get the most out of AI while minimizing the risks.

That's the information I want to pass on to you.

Aquaculture Companies Seek Profitability Through Sustainability

Virginia Economic Review, 2nd Quarter 2023 issue, pages 36-43

Excerpt:

"In 2001, when cousins Ryan and Travix Croxton took over their family's 100-year-old oyster bed leases on Virginia's Middle Peninsula, the Commonwealth's oyster industry was on life support. The traditional harvest method of dredging the floors of bays and estuaries had left waterways oxygen-poor and clogged with silt, and the region's native oyster, the Eastern oyster, seemed bound for the endangered species list. Contemporary estimates placed the species at barely 1% of its historic population."

Make The Most Of Your Parking Lot with Renewable Energy

Excerpt:

"Owners of companies and facilities managers are eager to maximize the potential of their buildings, however, they may be overlooking a valuable resource: the parking lot. The parking lot, which may initially be unappealing and costly, has the potential to become a valuable asset for the company. How can this transformation occur?

By incorporating electric vehicle (EV) chargers and solar panels into the parking lot infrastructure, you can unlock the otherwise untapped potential of your parking lots."

Electrification FAQs

Excerpt: Can heat pumps work for an entire house or business?

"The degree to which a heat pump can fulfill your needs at your home or business depends on its rating, whether it has a ducted or ductless air source (or ground source), the climate in your area, and the size of your home. A heat pump is rated according to its Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER). Modern heat pumps have better coil designs and compressors, improved motors, and highly efficient fans, meaning excellent SEER ratings, high efficiency, and the ability to heat your home even when temperatures are below freezing."
