It’s been about 2 Years since i left the Article writing scene and moved on the bigger better things promised in Video content creation. This is the first article i sit down to write to announce my return this Month of November, 2024 and i have to address this pressing subject i am greeted with – To use AI Writing tools or to do it the old fashion way.
The Rise of AI-Generated Content
Artificial Inteligence has come a long way from old models that could only perform simple programmed task to now large models that are trained using the latest industry standards available in GTP 4.0.
Forget text generation, Now Images and Videos can be created using specific a prompt and the results are amazing.
This has produced a whole lots of new careers like prompt engineering and Artificial Inteligence related jobs that were not so common years ago.
Benefits of AI in Content Creation
- Maximum Productivity by saving Time with AI: Content Automation is the word that comes to mind when i think of some of the benefits of AI in Content Creation. The number of articles that can be generated by a natural language processing model is more than any human can write in an hour.
- AI Search Engine Optimization: Access to a database of words that can easily produce search engine optimized articles everytime is another thing no human can do effectly no matter the experience obtained in Copywriting. AI SEO has always been used by the top Blog SEO plugins before Generative AI became a thing.
Popular AI Writing Tools
- Open AI Chat GPT: Chat GPT is the most popular AI Model in use today and is capable of Image generation, Brain storming and Voice conversations depending on the model (3.5, 4.0). Available for free on the ChatGPT Website of Mobile Application.
- Microsoft Copilot: Since majority of computer users have Microsoft Operating system installed, Microsoft Copilot is easily accessible in the Windows Start menu or Microsoft Office Applications as an AI Assistant for work. It is based on the GPT 4.0 Model.
Challenges and Ethical Considerations
Lack of Human Connection: While it feels great to read an article without any grammatical or punctuation errors a human writer would make, we cannot deny the fact that AI Generated Content lacks soul. That little bit of human connection you feel by reading your favourite writers style and words is usually lost.
Misleading / Incorrection information: AI Generated content rely on a dated language model that pulls information that is available to it at the time. So one model may say President Obama is the current president of the United States of America while another may provide misleading information fed to it as machine learning in Content.
Last generation of Real writers: The Skill of putting pen to paper and filling pages with words is fast eroding not just because of AI content creation but a lack of interest in the trade. Lots of other things can be attributed to this disinterest but AI Writing tools can be seen being used by students in early primary school. While the benefits of AI Content Creation is also listed in this article, we must acknowledge this disadvantage.
The Future of AI-Generated Content
Like it or Not AI-Powered Content is here to stay in every form of content we produce or consume. I think it would be a mistake to keep fighting emerging trends and technologies that are not just in alpha testing phases but now mainstream in this industry.
I predict that in the next decade, little or no resistance will exist in the use of AI for education, writing or other professional fields that are currently cautious about the ethical considerations that are valid today. AI in Digital Marketing, Social media content and AI in journalism are now widely accepted as long as a human reviews the content before publishing.
