Using AI to create content without AI-Detection

I found this interesting piece on Bluesky today.

No Bluesky embedder
It details how you can use AI to fully create an article and then submit it without getting caught and penalized.

As a writer, I wouldn't use this for anything serious (other than to test it out) because I like to create content myself, but I feel like many "content creators" will be going this route or something similar in the near future,

Could you do it and justify it? Or are you against it? I want to hear everyone's thoughts on this topic.

The question of morality behind AI content is an interesting discussion by itself.

To me, however, the creation of AI content is here to stay, regardless of what anyone thinks about it.

It's possible when you custom it using your own writing, especially feeding it previous writings. Then, in this case, you won't be detected.

In all honestly, Google really doesn't worry about it too much. As long as it provides value, and is high quality, they will rank your content.

AI is here to stay, we should embrace it and use it to our advantage. Even if that means, creating content with it, to speed up our work process.

Oh, for sure.

It's not going anywhere and eventually search engines, social networks, and other media brands will have to accept AI-content created entirely by machine generation.

Us true content creators might be a rare people.

But companies who want genuine human generated content might have to pay a big penny for it in the process. I'd happily take advantage of the situation and charge 5x my worth.

If I'm not worth it, then go use AI.

What makes you think human content will be worth more?

I was actually thinking that it would dilute and reduce the value of all content, since all content can be created cheaply.

I think it's going to depend on the niche.

For example, our niche (forums, blogging, webmaster stuff), it'll be harder to sell human content. Mainly, it's because it technical "how to do something" content that people are looking for. They have a pain point they wish to shake off and if the content can take it away, it won't matter who provides that.

So, you do bring up a good question here.

However, other niches will likely still need that human connection. Take the outdoor niche for example which is what I am a freelance writer for. People want that human connection and story to resonate with the author on their experience on whatever outdoor activity they're enjoying. It helps even more if that person is known. I have a whole brand where I am the image (Hiking with Shawn) so my experience and "authority" in my outdoor niche is what has got me 99.999% of my freelance gigs. It's also allowed me to name my price most of the time.

It's often a good idea to get yourself branded in your niche project. Make YOU a big part of it. Those who sit back and let everyone else do the engagement will fail to create a brand and, in the end, I feel like they will fail to get that recognition that will be needed later.

Well, most of the social media sites also have Ai generated comments and users that are generating content with AI systems, this isn’t any different than webmasters using AI systems.

It’s the same thing and same process.

Of course, us content creators will survive and thrive at the end of the day, but most companies are using AI now. take a look at businessinsider and a few other news site. They replaced a majority of their workers with AI writers.

So, the question remains if big companies are now outsourcing their content to AI systems, how does that give us an advantage in the field? It really doesn’t. If a company wants to save money, they won’t hire a regular content writer. They’ll do it themselves with an AI systems.

It is the way that the internet is moving towards now and we can’t do anything about it, but we can just keep writing our own content and setting an example.

There's no doubt about what you said. I think the biggest shift is going to be when Google fully recognise those AI generated contents and stop penalising the users or websites that makes use of them. The moment they start ranking AI generated contents, it's over!!

It's really smart to be working on way to market your websites (any type of website) in a way that doesn't rely on Google.

When they finally do accept all AI content, SEO is be harder than it ever has been before.

Multiple streams of marketing is the only way out.

Yeah, I completely agree with you on having to find a way not to depend on Google for everything is a safe way forward. It's just that people have learnt to choose Google first and that's why it's still the biggest search engine today.

AI content will never be profitable. Not unless you have millions of traffic and you have a daily AI post running. But even then, those millions aren't there for your AI content, but because you give value to your audience.

They already do, smh. Semrush and a few other websites are already ranking with AI/generated content. There’s also a script floating around that’s being used by self proclaimed seo experts.

In fact, SEMrush also provides a “free ai text generator” tool that helps website owners write content if they choose to do so.


Sure, we can use other outlets that doesn't rely on Google, however, Chatgpt and other AI chatbots also surface their rankings from Google as well. Which in itself is somewhat worrying. As if a website isn't performing well on Google, it is highly unlikely that it will rank on the AI systems as well.

I recently found out about this, but we can survive by promoting our sites on other outlets like social media, forums, etc, but the traffic won't be as good as it will be with the search engine traffics.

Also, SearchEngineLand, and I believe SearchEngineJournal along with TomGuide's are all now using AI generated content on their websites. There was a reddit post discussing TomGuide's using AI 2 months ago a recent twitter posting discussing SEL/SEJ using it as well.

100%

I keep trying to preach this.

So many people are freaking out about AI and SEO changes. Yeah, it's going to suck for SEO because you will have to dramatically change your strategies at some point, BUT that doesn't mean all the other sources of marketing are out the window.

Multiple streams of marketing are as important as multiple streams of income -- when one dries out, you have something else to fall back on.

You're absolutely right. Which is why I've developed a habit over the years to stream-line my traffic sources and not keep everything in one basket of traffic. I get traffic from bluesky, facebook, tumblr, reddit, twitter, forums, along with some online games.

The more visible your forum is online, the better off it'll be in the long run.

Exactly! There's nothing like having too much visibility. So, if it's possible to use infinite options when it comes to making your community visible out there, it's absolutely fine.

The world's population is about 8.25 billion people, so there's more people out there for you to try and reach.

Lily Ray(an seo specialist) that works for an seo agency recently discussed this on twitter as well:



With AEO/GEO, our jobs as SEOs has certainly evolved to focus more on 'off-site' marketing - especially among the most highly cited sources in LLMs (YouTube, Reddit, Wikipedia, Facebook, etc.)

But I think it's worth noting that this approach has been part of the SEO process for a long time. For many years, it has gone by the name of "Online Reputation Management."

I suppose the main difference here is that with AEO/GEO, the focus is much more on what the information within those sites actually says about your brand/your products, whereas with ORM, it was more focused on positioning your brand well within the SERP and drowning out negative information about your brand.

But both involve making sure your brand is everywhere - owning all social media profiles, being listed in relevant directories, contributing to online communities, responding to comments, etc.

I remember at my first SEO agency job in 2012, within the first few days of my employment, my boss asked me to 'think about strategies to help manage our clients' reputations in the SERP.' I told them "we need to help our clients submit their sites to popular directories and claim all available profiles, like Reddit, Digg, Stumbleupon, Delicious, Tumblr, Google+, etc."

We didn't exactly know it at the time, but we were in the first steps of building out our ORM offering. Since then, claiming your presence on trusted profiles (especially the ones that link to your site) has always been a key part of the SEO process.

This post is only meant to show one (of many) examples of how the tactics behind AEO/GEO don't mean that "everything has dramatically changed." What has changed with AI is the way people (and agents) are searching for and accessing content.

The fundamental nature of what SEOs do all day remains the same - we help people and platforms find trustworthy information - but the way we do it continues to evolve, just as it always has.

The truth is that there's a value in AI generated contents but it's only that the contents isn't original especially when the information is verified to be true. I won't write that off completely for some AI contents.

I research and consume AI content. I see value in that. However, as for using it to create my content, I don't, because I prefer to write it myself. I'm a writer!

Anyone who truly have passion for writing never use AI to generate contents for their piece. They can research with those tools to get more info and knowledge but once it's time to write, they do it from the scratch.

If you're not a writer, then I'm sure using AI is okay for you.

But I love writing. Writing has got me through some troubling times. I could never delegate that to artificial intelligence.
