Is using AI content really bad for SEO or does it work fine?

What are your thoughts on AI-generated content? Is it causing more harm than good these days?

I think AI has potential, but it often mixes facts with nonsense. Whenever I try it for topics I know well, I find hidden errors in the text. AI can work if you give it accurate facts and clear instructions, but you still need to review it.

AI-generated content can be tricky, but have you tried using detailed prompts to guide it better?

I came across some great prompting tips from Harvard that helped me improve my AI usage. Definitely worth checking out.

@Jericho
Could you share those tips here?

@Jericho
Yes, please share. It would be really helpful.

AI content can be good, but there’s also a lot of bad AI-generated stuff out there. I run a business that creates AI content for clients, and I’ve noticed that good results often require heavy editing or expert-level prompts. It’s still early days for AI content creation, though, so there’s room to experiment.

Do you edit the AI-generated content before delivering it to clients? If so, how much editing does it usually need?

It depends on the project, but we always review and improve the content. I’d be happy to share some examples if you want to see how we handle it.

The real issue is how people use prompts. A detailed prompt can make a huge difference. I usually feed AI data from top-ranking articles, extract keywords, and then guide it to create content step by step. It works well if done properly.

Can you explain how you feed it data? Do you copy content from top-ranking sites?

Yes, I manually copy and paste content into the prompts. It’s not automated, but it works for now.

I run multiple blogs with entirely AI-generated content, and they rank better than I expected. It’s all about how you use it.

Are you making decent revenue from those blogs?

AI works best when you carefully review and refine the content it generates. Don’t rely on it to do all the work for you.

16

As long as the content is useful and relevant, it doesn’t matter if it’s AI-generated or human-written.

17

With the right approach, AI-generated content can be great. It takes time to fine-tune the prompts and learn how to create quality content, but it’s worth the effort.

18

I use AI to refine blog posts after doing my research. It helps tidy up the structure and make the content more concise. AI shouldn’t replace the writing process entirely, but it can be a helpful tool.

Do you post AI-generated content directly, or do you edit it first?

I always edit it thoroughly. AI often writes in a style that doesn’t fit my audience, so I tweak it to match the tone I want.
