AI & Blogging: the end?

Hold on, I am not that guy!
What I mean is that blogging for SEO gains is going to be dead: too many people just blog because they want the SEO juice, not because they care about writing. I believe this is true for most companies who blog for SEO, but I am more hopeful that individuals will still blog for passion.

So why do I think that blogging is dead? Using A.I. you can write a blog about anything in seconds.

This is the recipe for it:

  1. Ask the AI to find you ideas
  2. Ask the AI to list H2s for your blog piece
  3. Ask the AI to draft your blog piece
  4. Use your super human powers to make it incredible

Asking the AI to brainstorm for you

I think the best way of brainstorming done by AI is the type of brainstorming that glues multiple things together. I usually open ChatGPT and will start a conversation with the agent.
Let’s take this blog post for example, how did I come up with the title for it?
I asked chatgpt: Come up with a couple of content ideas for a blogpost. Focus on generating titles about [using A.I. for SEO]. This ideas should target [casual tech readers]
* Replace the part in the brackets with whatever you want

They’re boring AF 💤 but it does tell me one thing, A.I. is messing with SEO. The future of marketing cannot sleep on A.I. content and there are a lot of people that want to learn how to do it.

So armed with these new ideas, I came up with the next set of questions.

User: What's a good title for a piece about blogging is dead because of AI?
ChatGPT: "Demise of Blogging: The AI Revolution's Fatal Blow?"

1

User: Make it sound more clickbait
ChatGPT: "AI's Deadly Grip: The Shocking Truth Behind Blogging's Untimely Demise!"

2
User: Make it sound more straightforward and use simpler words
ChatGPT: "AI's Impact on Blogging: Is It the End of an Era?"

I like the last one, so I give it a personal touch and a couple of iterations later. Here’s the title I used in this blog.

Ask the AI to list H2s for your blog piece

Now onto getting those H2s!

1
Creata a list of <h2> headings for the blog post titled [AI & Blogging: The End?]. Use bullet points!

The list is pretty long, so you can hand pick a couple of H2s that you like. I picked:

  • Will AI Replace Human Bloggers?
  • Augmenting Creativity: How AI Can Inspire Bloggers
  • The Human Connection: Why Bloggers Remain Indispensable

These are great headings now let’s move onto writing the actual content

Ask the AI to draft your blog

Given the following blogpost with missing content, fill in the content where it says <fill> by reading the subheaders immediately above. This will explain to you what the content needs to be

Blog title: 
AI & Blogging: The End?

## Will AI Replace Human Bloggers?
<fill>
## Augmenting Creativity: How AI Can Inspire Bloggers
<fill>
## The Human Connection: Why Bloggers Remain Indispensable
<fill>

Et voila’ it wrote a whole article. It’s not half bad. I can regenerate it a couple of times if I want and I can use modifiers to make it sounds better for example by saying things like “make the content sound like it has been written by a nerdy guy”

Ok now final step!

Use your super human powers to make it incredible

This is a simple step, take everything that the AI wrote and make it sounds more human, by using your skills of a human.
That’s all there is. Now you’re just gonna edit the piece like you actually want to publish it. It might take you 15 minutes but guess what? You saved at least 2 hours of your time by using an A.I. tool like ChatGPT.

In conclusion, yes you can produce one blog post a day and you can rig the SEO game, but you still have to put 15 minutes of your time per piece to make it sound credible to other readers.

P.S. I didn’t actually any A.I. to write this post other than the responses it gave me to show you it’s possible to make this process work!
