Will AI Replace Blogging? |

Some bloggers fear that AI will replace blogging.

AI seems prevalent everywhere you look.

Goodness knows I cannot escape AI headlines anytime my LinkedIn news feed pops up.

The $big billions$ push artificial intelligence. Some genuinely wish to improve the world. All crave big profits.

Should you fear that AI may make blogging irrelevant?

I want to explain why it won’t.

But I also want to stress that some bloggers are at risk from AI.

No

Artificial intelligence cannot overtake blogging.

Human beings generally trust human-generated content over AI-generated content.

I spoke to my father the other day. He noted how my brother in law became inspired to follow an AI-made idea from Chat GPT. But my dad also said how he always scrolls down past AI content on page 1 of Google.

Why?

He spotted:

awkward wording
ridiculously inaccurate statistics

the first few times he scanned AI content.

He also remarked how my brother in law observed the same credibility-busting trend.

Both internet savvy types mirror the general attitude of most web surfers. Most bloggers I know follow human bloggers. A few use AI for brainstorming and establishing outlines. None that I know of follow AI bloggers at all.

People trust people-generated content.

People typically do not trust AI-generated content masquerading as blog posts.

Google, Facebook, X, YouTube and LinkedIn continue to crack down on AI content. Forget the obvious news headlines for a moment. Pay close attention to how each algorithm penalizes AI-borne content and AI-generated accounts.

From my experience, every AI-generated reply on X gets hidden. I see no exceptions.

How will this clear trend miraculously dominate human bloggers? How will blogging become irrelevant if even influential AI-backers penalize irresponsible AI use?

How About Blogging Versus AI Blogging?

Read a few posts from AI bloggers.

How do you feel? Does the content seem credible? Do you trust the content?

Most humans do not trust AI to handle:

a disease diagnosis
financial assets
education for a child

Why would you trust artificial intelligence to teach you how to blog?

Does artificial intelligence have a heart? Does it have empathy? Can AI be compassionate?

Does AI have 17 year’s worth of human blogging experience like me? I know the highs and lows of this gig. I’ve been at it since 2008. I know how you feel. AI does not know how you feel. This is why blogging will always be relevant. AI cannot stress pain points. AI cannot give you a cyber shoulder to cry on.

There’s no connection there; just lifeless content.

AI will never make blogging irrelevant because most people look past lifeless content. Lifeless posts are a dime a dozen. Blogging noise enters the cyber abyss. That’s the way the world works. Either make people feel something to gain their loyalty or bore them to tears to send them away.

How would this post sound if AI wrote it?

Minus some clear cut fact sharing, it would sound like a stuffy douche bag wrote it.

Consider an AI blogger who “thinks so much of their audience” that the individual spins generic content with something artificial. Never mind that some AI-generated content is wildly inaccurate.

AI bloggers tell their readers: “I’m using this artificial thing to spit out as much generic content as possible to make as much money as possible (quickly) off of you. Why would I listen to your needs and write content by visualizing myself in your shoes?”

Does that sound like a blogger you can trust?

Knock yourself out if you deem this approach to be credible.

I don’t.

Never Get It Twisted

I do not offer this perspective because I blog.

I would never trust AI to:

handle my retirement account
handle my savings account
fly a plane
work various aspects of customer service where making eye contact, listening to tone and expressing empathy are critical aspects to solving pressing problems

I have flown 150 plus times in over 30 countries.

I can assure you; human beings will always have a job in various aspects of travel. People would largely stop flying if they didn’t. As a seasoned traveler, I get lost, confused and need a human *stat* for help to get specific answers quickly.

I make this point to stress that AI blogger envy does not influence my perspective.

I trust humans to handle jobs over AI in many niches.

AI Will Replace Bloggers Whose Writing Sounds Similar to AI

Generic-sound bloggers; you are not off the hook.

AI will not replace blogging.

AI will replace generic sounding bloggers.

Why?

AI yields a higher output of generic sounding content than you.

AI-generated content serves up summaries at the top of page 1 these days. Do you think that your generic post will pop up as position 1 in the organic results?

The reverse seems to be occurring. AI summaries reward human bloggers who write genuinely

The summary thingee mentioned Blogging From Paradise Dot Com twice for at least one semi-competitive keyword. AI even dropped a backlink to my blog.

The Solution

Iron out your authentic blogging voice.

Sound nothing at all like AI.

Make AI blogging irrelevant.

Turn the tables on your fears.

Do the work yourself.

Be genuine.

Build a loyal blogging tribe. Share first person experiences. Blog in your voice. Be you then blog from that perspective.

Level the playing field by bringing your special story to the blogging table.

Conclusion

AI has practical applications. I am not against it. I am for AI replacing seemingly mindless jobs. Humans need to do better than that. We need to evolve.

But artificial intelligence cannot replace human bloggers. Blogging for even a few days – following a successful strategy – reveals the high level of mindfulness that this gig consistently demands. This mindfulness is not something one can fabricate by paying $100 USD a month for an artificial agent. The world does not work that way. If it did, all AI bloggers would bathe in dubloons like Scrooge McDuck and you would not be reading this post.

Do your own writing.

Rest easy.

Succeed by carving out your personal brand.
