The Rise of AI-Generated Content: Does It Outperform Human Writers?

How it Works

AI-generated content uses vast databases and advanced algorithms using machine learning and natural language processing (NLP). They use extensive databases, sources from words taken from articles, websites, and books, helping to understand language patterns. The AI algorithms then learn language structure by using the data and when prompted, they can generate sentences, producing appropriate content. 

Benefits of AI-Generated Content

• Efficiency
• Cost effective
• Consistency
• Personalised content

Challenges of AI-Generated Content

• Lack of creativity and emotions
• Ethical concerns
• Intellectual property concerns
• Context difficulty
• Human creativity still needed

How AI is Impacting Human Writing Jobs

AI tools are becoming readily available, with many human writers worried about their job security. At the same time, AI is complex. Yes AI-writing tools have the ability to handle basic content creation, there is still a demand for specialised writing roles. Yes, AI is replacing routine tasks, those mundane and time consuming tasks such as keyword research, spell checking, grammar checking, and more.

Will AI Replace Human Writers?

The biggest question everyone has been asking for the past couple of years is whether AI is going to outperform human writers. The answer isn't as simple as it seems. In fact, it is based on the type of content you are creating:

• Routine content such as product descriptions can be carried out with AI, helping to meet tight deadlines
• Creative articles that requires insights need a human touch. Human writers have expertise, authenticity, and creativity
• Specialised content should be written by humans, though the heavy data parts of the content can be generated by AI and adapted by humans to make it personalised

In the majority of SEO agencies today, AI is used to handle repetitive tasks, such as keyword research and competitor analysis, while humans create high quality, valuable, and unique content.

The good news, is that while AI is constantly growing and evolving, it is very unlikely it will replace human writer. In fact, it is best used as part of your content marketing strategy to deal with the repetitive and time consuming tasks, such as keyword research.
