AI Content vs Writing (the ol' fashioned way). Does it even matter? What's the difference? And who's reading this stuff anyway?! We've been following this closely is a rapidly changing digital landscape. What are you thoughts about using AI content on your website? I'd love to hear them in the comments!

Very much enjoying the first brightonSEO conference here in San Diego. There’s a ton of interesting content, and of course lots of talk about AI. Being a writer, one key takeaway from this morning was that it may be time to check our ego at the door. As Danny Sullivan pointed out in his keynote speech: Google doesn’t care if content is produced by a human or AI. “If it’s good, rank it.” Now, we always hear that gen-Al writing isn't as good as human writing. But Frederick Vallaeys raised an interesting question: “If readers don't care, isn't it the writers' urge for perfection getting in their own way?” If readers indeed don’t care about perfection – and this may or may not be true for your audience – you may be better served focusing on improving your overall content strategy rather than fine-tuning your copy. It doesn’t mean AI will eliminate writers, but it will change our jobs – away from manual implementation and toward more strategic thinking tasks. Resistance is futile. The best thing any writer can do is keep up with these developments and learn to work with, not against, AI.

Have you been reading the "collaborative posts" LinkedIn has been sharing? I've been invited to add my 2 cents worth on a number of topics, which is nice for the ego. But what I really like is that it exposes me to what is clearly labeled as being generated by #AI, which provides the lead-in paragraphs setting up the topics. My impression so far: While the spelling, grammar, sentence structure -- all the basics -- are in place (satisfying my picky inner editor), I find the AI copy to be flat and lifeless. The real-people contributions to those articles really show the difference between machine-generated copy and #content provided by humans. Have you used AI to write copy (not as a jump start to your own original work, but as the final product)? If so, has it impacted your engagement levels? Inquiring minds and all that.

Like all good stories, your #blog should have a beginning, a middle and an end. The opening needs to grab the reader’s attention and let them know they will read a fascinating story or learn something new and if the blog is relevant. Break up the middle of the text with subheadings and sections. Don’t waffle, have a goal in mind, where is the story going? At the end summarise the story or learning point. If you need help from a human, not AI, to write a blog, want a blog reviewed or want to look at a 12-month content plan then get in touch.

Writing like AI is the new way to boost your ranking. Prior to AI , we all thought writing for humans was our best shot at ranking in the top 3. Don't get me wrong; this hasn't changed. But when observing why AI content ranks unbelievably fast, we discover this truth: AI writes like a machine does—Google search bots are machines, They pick up on AI writing better. So, how does an AI write, and how can we adapt our writing style to fit? The key is logical writing. Here's how we do it: 1. Research user intent  2. Create an outline around user intent. 3. Make each outline a mini post. In addition, do something AI won't ordinarily do: 4. Back facts with links. 5. Link to relevant content on your website. Getting content to rank online is a sum of little things done correctly! Start with this. #contentwriting #seowriting #seowritingtips #rankingfactors

I just bought a coffee supporting James Presbitero to write his book, solving one specific problem: editing AI content. With over 10K followers, his work particularly appeals to those keen on understanding the interplay between AI tools and professional writing. Embracing AI's potential requires not just adoption but elevating our editorial skills, creativity and critical thinking. The AI-generated text comes with big words or "fluff", here are some simple ways to up level our discernment. James said it too, "If I see more than two of these words in an entire article, I flag it." Read full article: https://lnkd.in/dwzZ5Uc4 #soundslikeAI #aicontentcreation

In a world where information is increasingly bloated online, AI writing more and more automated content, being able to express your unique value to the world will be more important than ever, and people are already starting to search for things that are true, and less artificial as possible. Just like industrialization destroyed the food industry, industrialization of content will destroy the online content industry. and once this happens, people with criticism will go back to more artisanal and indie content. I will always use AI to make me efficient with code, and maybe get insights here and there on how to articulate things better, but to those who are pouring blog articles after blog articles with AI, and bragging about their results, what's the point of reading something that came from AI, and not from a human? What's the meaning of existence if not the interaction between individuals, and the results from that interaction? I know there are many perspectives and counter arguments on this, but time will prove me right.

Founders content error 101: Use AI to write every content. Then wonder why people don't find them relatable.
