As a lesser percentage of bloggers piddles in their pantaloons over:
- using AI to make money blogging on auto pilot
- losing their business to AI because of the being replaced by artificial intelligence
- losing their life to AI because of intimate knowledge of the Terminator series of movies
I want to stress one argument against AI that nobody talks about.
None of the top blogging tips bloggers in the world have once backed AI generated content.
Almost none of the top bloggers on earth in any niche have once backed AI generated content.
Why?
Well of course, because they are the top freaking bloggers in the world.
Isn’t that enough of an argument against AI generated blog posts?
The top bloggers on earth would have been years ahead of the current orgy of greed and desperation regarding AI generated blog posts.
The top bloggers are top bloggers because human-generated content makes one of the top bloggers in the world.
Definition of AI Generated Content
For the purpose of this post, AI generated content means content primarily “created” by artificial intelligence.
For example, any blogger who boasts of using AI to generate a post in seconds or a bit more falls into this category.
Even if the individual proof-reads, edits and publishes the post using their human mind the obvious primary step involved using AI to generate the post.
Shortcuts Never Make Top Bloggers
Shortcuts do not make one a top blogger in the world. Shortcuts blow up in your blogging face. Every top blogger knows this. All top bloggers know that you cannot get something for nothing.
Knowing this, none of the blogging tips big dawgs endorse AI blogging.
If the best in the world don’t use it to write content and bloggers 1, 2 or 5 levels down tout it, doesn’t that tell you something?
The top bloggers in the world are not idiots. All are quite smart.
I know a few. I have met a few.
Bloggers a few circles below top bloggers are not idiots either but fall victim to:
- greed
- desperation
- the desire to get something for nothing
- the desire to take blogging shortcuts
This is why they are not top bloggers and this is also why top bloggers are top bloggers.
Take someone like Neil Patel, the blogging leader who mentioned me on his blog here.
As of this post publish date, he published a video along the lines of being anti-AI or at the very least, calming blogger fears regarding AI blogging pushing humans out of business.
He is probably the top blogger on earth.
Do you think he is the dumb one while AI bloggers who:
- offer no tangible proof that AI increases your blogging profits dramatically
- offer no tangible proof that AI tricks living, breathing humans into loyally following blogs
- offer no tangible proof that AI tricks living, breathing humans into hiring human bloggers who use AI to generate posts
are the really smart, trustworthy, credible ones?
I don’t want to rag on these folks but I do intend to tell the truth. Top bloggers have not boasted that AI draws loyal human readers, customers, clients and brand advocates to their blogs. There’s a reason for this; it can’t do these things!
If the top blogger on earth tells you to chill with the AI fears and a majority of AI backers who you’ve never heard of warn you to use it now before missing the bus because they are so successful with it (bullshit, my Young Blogging Padawans), do you genuinely believe that the bull shitters have deeper stores of blogging knowledge, vast blogging experience and a granite-like reputation compared to a guy who’s on Page 1 of Google more than the Kardashians?
Trust the Blogging Big Dawgs Not the Distracted Puppies
During our house sit in Charlottesville, Virginia, I cared for a 140 pound beast of a dog named Stanley.
The St. Bernard / Newfoundland / Great Pyrenees mix weighed more than Kelli and was flat out longer than she was tall, far wider than her width and pretty much a small pony in stature.
He was a big dog who chased off coyotes and sometimes bears.
He was the real deal.
Meanwhile, imagine a distracted, meek puppy who goes off on a wild goose chase bounding after butterflies.
Who do you trust to protect your home?
A 140 pound, runaway freight train with a booming bark that is so big, fast and fearless that he intimidates bears and coyotes?
Or a clueless, 10 pound puppy that whimsically chases butterflies in the petunia patch?
Trust the Blogging Big Dawgs, not the distracted blogging puppies chasing bright, shiny objects, the latest of which is AI generated blogging.
How to Frame AI as a Blogger
Imagine if you can stand up and walk perfectly normal 90% of the time.
Perhaps you need a helping hand from another human to stand up from a seated position 10% of the time.
Frame the rare helping hand as using AI for a blogging helping hand. Brainstorm ideas with AI. Create outlines with AI. Feel free to use it mildly if at all.
Greedy, desperate, foolish bloggers who can physically write perfectly but allow fear to guide their decisions make the damaging mistake of treating AI like a wheelchair despite being able to walk perfectly.
What happens if you get rolled around in a wheelchair for weeks, months then years even with perfectly functioning legs? You eventually lose the ability to walk due to inactivity fueled by your laziness.
Similarly, if a blogger uses AI to generate blog posts their former perfectly functioning emotional intelligence and intellect morphs into emotional idiocy and moronic stupidity. Why? What you neglect simply dies.
Neglect your mind and it falls into the deep sleep of fear, delusion and blanket insanity.
Using AI to regurgitate posts robs you of mental sharpness, focus and developing blogging skills through writing practice.
Even worse?
Readers are becoming as skilled as ever at spotting AI generated content.
The split second a person senses that AI and not a human wrote a blog post that blogger just lost their blogging reputation forever.
Blog intelligently.
Write your own content.
Succeed.
