This week, in Winton’s AI Lab: ChatGPT as Your Personal Tutor

More than just a tool for creating and writing, ChatGPT is a powerful tutor for learning and understanding.

Using ChatGPT to answer the question, "Who is the author when AI assists with writing?" on last Tuesday’s call, Winton showed us how the platform provides clarity on nuanced topics like attribution and disclosure rules.

Think of ChatGPT as a modern-day research assistant, similar to using the library or consulting a mentor. By asking it thoughtful questions, you can deepen your understanding, refine your ideas, and even generate templates or statements to use professionally.

Winton highlighted how the landscape is shifting—from "no AI allowed" to clients actively seeking freelancers who use AI for better, more polished results. Whether you’re writing, researching, or learning new skills, ChatGPT can help you level up your expertise and tackle complex questions with ease.

JOB OF THE WEEK

The Job of the Week, brought to us by Coach Heidi Craig,  isn’t just about the work—it’s about the client. 

Look for clients with verified payment methods, high ratings, and a strong hire history like this week’s example: 100% hire rate and 292 past hires. 

These attributes signal a seasoned client who knows how to work with freelancers and values their contributions. 

For beginners, focus on these key factors: stars and pay. A good client ensures a positive experience and helps you earn the 5-star ratings that fuel Upwork's algorithm, boosting your profile visibility.

To take action, always check client reviews to learn about their reputation and even gather personal details (like a name) to customize your proposal and stand out. 

Remember, picking the right client is as important as picking the right job!
