I do not see any clear pros for bloggers who use artificial intelligence to write and publish full posts with some human editing included.
The main reason being this: any pro I’ve seen discussed is fear manifest as greed and desperation.
How can I say that acting from greed and desperation benefits you and your readers?
Sorry; no can do.
Before I proceed I want to stress a few points.
Three things:
- I just landed in Greece; thank goodness I didn’t slide (corny humor alert)
- I do not intend to bitch out AI via this post as a dependable way to augment your blogging campaign in supplemental, light fashion; go for that, if it doesn’t put your knickers into a knot
AI may be improving but it is a bad idea to use this artificial technology to write your blog posts.
There you are. I said it.
Ever since I landed in Athens a few hours ago I feel clearer. I feel more confident. More than anything, I am losing the fear of sharing private thoughts, the fear fueling people pleasing and the general idea that it’s taboo to blog contrarian to what some pro bloggers are teaching, using and promoting to accelerate their success.
Thanks, international travel. Once again, you remind me to step away from the herd and to be true to me.
Anyway….
Why is it a bad idea to use AI to write full blog posts?
What are the ultimate reasons against ai blogging?
All illusions eventually collapse in dramatic fashion.
Fear manifest as greed, desperation and the asinine desire to get something for nothing motivates some bloggers to make excuses for using AI to write full posts like:
- “It is easy.”
- “It works.”
- “It is improving at a quick enough rate to fool people more consistently.”
- “It is a good investment.”
- “It is improving quickly enough to fool Google sooner than later.”
Each argument rests on a foundation of quicksand. Eventually, the 7 reasons below guarantee that AI will collapse and bloggers who use artificial intelligence to write and volume publish full posts will disappear after losing their reputation.
Bloggers beware; you will regret using AI for each reason below.
1: You Are Lying
Anytime you associate your name with a blog post it means that you wrote the blog post.
If you use AI to write a blog post but affix your name you are lying to your readers.
Liars run into all types of blogging nightmares. Blogging liars lose everything eventually because success hinges on trust. Lose trust and you lose all traffic, readers and blogging income.
Write your own posts. Tell the truth. Gain trust. Succeed.
I wrote every blog post on BFP. I wrote every eBook and created my two blogging courses. Feel free to check out the eBooks and courses (click the links above) to see a human being blogging teacher in action.
I sleep well at night because thought my winding blogging journey I simply and intimately did all the work I sign my name too.
The moment you lie, you break a promise to yourself to act with integrity.
Dicey situations follow along with some pretty bad emotions arising in your mind.
2: AI Is Immoral
Using AI to write full posts is selfish because you only think about your traffic and income versus you addressing the needs of your readership, outsourcing that precious job to….drum roll please….something that does not exist.
I have yet to see a blogger who argues for AI explain that this artificial content is the most detailed, in-depth, heartfelt, informative and bursting at the seams valuable content for their readers. The argument is almost always egocentric, self-centered, selfish and flat out immoral.
Anytime you focus exclusively on your needs and completely ignore the need of others you behave in immoral fashion.
3: AI Is Unethical
Writing full posts with AI is certainly not of a high moral standard, established per the prior reason.
Drilling deeper, human beings generally agree based on social norms that a blogger:
- writes their own content
- publishes their own content
- gains credibility by writing and publishing their own content
The split second you use an artificial, not real, soulless program to spin blog content you become unethical.
4: AI Is Not Real
Artificial intelligence is not real.
AI does not exist.
AI appears to be real. Of course it seems real. But it is artificial. Soulless, mindless and non-sentient, it takes words and re-arranges to create the illusion of a blog post.
Using something not real but claiming the blog post to be real leads to a shit load of…..
5: Potential Legal Implications
How quickly will a tsunami of lawsuits drown AI bloggers when irate:
- readers
- customers
- clients
sue for fraud?
Fraud is a wrongful deception to gain in some way, shape or form, typically financial.
Ummmm….when your blog generates income you achieve financial gain.
Ummmm….when you deceive readers by claiming to publish posts in fact spun by an artificial thing you bought for $40 per month you better believe enraged readers, customers and clients will sue the pants off of you.
6: Full Disclosure and Complete Credibility Loss Is on the Way
The moment you need to disclose that posts are AI-generated you will completely lose blogging credibility.
Who trusts a blogger who does not blog?
This is one of the most compelling reasons against ai blogging. Human bloggers write and publish posts. If you use something that does not exist to “write” posts how can you call yourself a blogger?
In a way, I almost cannot believe that I need to write this blog post. Why do I need to stress that you will eventually need to disclose AI and in so doing will lose all credibility?
Unfortunately, fear blinds you to what’s right in front of your eyes. Scared bloggers afraid to miss out cannot clearly see that they will miss out on a shit ton more than ai-generated traffic and income.
This crowd will lose their traffic and business once human readers find out that a $40 per month no-thing has been re-organizing words to “inform, educate and entertain them”….which brings us to…..
How in God’s name do you expect people to trust a blogger who uses a no-thing to order words and then signs their name on a blog post?
Wake up, sleep-walking bloggers.
Save yourself now.
7: Entrusting Your Business and Brand to a $40 Per Month No-Thing Is Reckless and Asinine
Would you trade your online business for a $40 to $50 or even $100 per month no-thing?
Do I need to even ask another question?
Visualize $40 per month.
Imagine paying $40 per month for a no-thing that does not exist to build your entire reputation, business, lifestyle and freedom.
Building a skyscraper on a foundation of pudding sounds like a more intelligent idea than the blogging ding dongs who “trust” 40 clam, non-existent, alleged algorithms to fully “write” blog posts that are the core of their rep, biz, lifestyle and freedom.
Conclusion
Don’t do it guys.
Write your own posts.
I hope these reasons against ai blogging convinced you.
If not….good luck!
