AI (‘Artificial Intelligence’) is increasingly being used to write many different types of content, from marketing copy and people’s university assignments and everything in between. Some would argue that it is the future of writing. Considering how many professional content writers are having to switch to different industries, it’s not hard to see why this is. This post will delve into this topic in detail, explaining everything you need to know about how AI is redefining creativity and offer some guidance on establishing yourself in the writing industry despite AI’s ever-increasing influence and popularity.
Creating Unique Works of Nonfiction
In the past, works of non-fiction took months to develop and years to write. Now, however, with a brief outline, you can use AI to create entire books for you. The experts from Youbooks say on their website that with a 5,000-character outline, an entire book can be written from scratch. If you plan on using AI to write non-fiction content for you, make sure that you properly plan and develop outlines so that you don’t have to worry about paying for content you don’t like. AI will write what you tell it to. If you aren’t meticulous in your planning and development and the outline that you provide isn’t comprehensive and detailed, you are not going to get what you might perhaps have wanted. Spend time planning your book and make sure that you give prompts relevant to the writing style you want, i.e., hard-boiled detective fiction or sensitive and flowery.
Utilizing AI In the Production of Essays
AI can be used to write essays, as well. Of course, it is worth noting that all universities forbid the use of AI in the production of academic content. If you are caught using AI to write essays or assignments, you are guaranteed to get into trouble. In fact, you could get kicked out of university or college. More and more universities are utilizing AI detection tools to prevent students from being able to use them to write content. However, there are ways of getting around these detection tools, some of which will be explored later in this post. Make sure that if you are going to use AI in the production of essays, you adjust content by hand. Go through the content produced and make minor changes to ensure that it looks like you wrote it. It’s very easy to tell when AI has written something just by looking at it. Making changes to ensure it seems more human will prevent AI content from being identified.
AI Writing Tools and Content Marketing
In the content industry, AI-produced content has never been more popular. Companies all around the world are using it. However, times are starting to change and there is a shift back to using content produced by content writers. One of the reasons for this is that content identified as being created by AI does not help website rankings. In other words, if a website has content entirely produced by AI, Google and Yahoo are not going to rank it high on the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages). That said, there are ways around this, and content and marketing agencies are using AI to produce content, then manually adjusting what has been produced, ensuring it passes detection tools. If you are interested in becoming a content writer, you need to make sure that you hone your skills and become the best writer you can, otherwise, you are not going to have much luck finding work, especially today.
Adjusting Content to Avoid Detection
As mentioned at various points already in this article, you need to adjust the content that has been produced using AI tools to ensure that it does not get flagged by an AI detection program. AI detection programs are very advanced. Unfortunately, they are terribly inaccurate, as well. You need to master them before you can master AI. Until you know how AI detection tools work, you aren’t going to be able to adjust content to ensure that it doesn’t get flagged. There are usually articles on the websites of AI detection programs that explain how they work and what they look for. Make sure that you use multiple AI detection programs to verify your content appears authentic, as there are many different ones, meaning you can never be sure which one the person who’s going to be checking your content is going to use.
AI has redefined creativity. If you are interested in using it to write content for you, you need to also familiarize yourself with how to use AI prompts and detection tools. The guidance given above will hopefully have helped you to do this.
