These AI tools tend to verbatim copy existing content without permission, so it's not really your content. Machine learning learns the statistical relationship of words and sentences in a way that preserves meaning, but that meaning originates from an actual writer. It's their work you are plagiarizing.
For art I think plagiarizing is forgivable, because that's what art is, you take things, you mix them up, you get surprising results, it's all an experiment. But for actual communication please don't waste my time using an AI to blow up your prompt to thousands of words, especially because you may end up communicating something you never intended.
In a meaningfulness perspective yes you are right.
But most content is written to get indexed by the engines and to drive traffic. I really feel like I could like totally automate this process with zappier and not even have to click on buttons. Just prompt whenever I want a new article and it is published on my niche website a minute later. Now imagine the amount of consistency power that gives you to try to rank on some keywords. I definitely see value in there. Ofcourse once your website is well ranked and your new posts are ranking high because of this consistency, on can begin writing by himself or hire human help.
Looking at it this way I find it truly game changing. Atleast I feel like there is a possibility.
I don't see the value in generating a mountain of content with an AI to trick the search engine into ranking you high. That's only good for attracting millions of visitors and hoping that 1% of them accidentally buys something from you.
I would rather build a great relationship and trust with a few thousand people. There is nothing an AI can help there. I don't have to be a crummy used-car salesman, and consistency is not about ranking, it's about your customers knowing that they can count on you for their needs. It's search engine proof too as presumably Google will keep changing things in a way that reflects reality, and reality is on your side if the people keep looking for you to scratch their itch.
This is a tutorial on how to make a blog post 100% automatically from just an idea.
Questions that emerge are: is this SEO friendly?
Can we tell a human written article from an AI one?
If the web content goes towards automation, is it okay?
