Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning have had a profound impact on SEO, right from the inception of Google's RankBrain in 2015, which prioritized context and user intent in search results. This shift led to a focus on creating naturally-written, relevant content.
AI tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT, launched in 2020, use sophisticated algorithms and extensive datasets to generate text based on user prompts. While AI-generated content offers intelligence augmentation, cost-effectiveness, and cohesive SEO strategies, it also presents challenges such as built-in biases, potential inaccuracies, and a risk of being flagged by search engines, which will negatively impact your SEO efforts.
Advantages of AI-Generated Content:
Cost-Effective: Quick bulk content production, which reduces time investments and associated costs.
Intelligence Augmentation: AI generates content ideas that can be further refined by human content creators and editors.
Cohesive SEO: Enhanced ability to analyze data and integrate it, providing more effective content marketing strategies.
Disadvantages of AI-Generated Content:
Accuracy Issues: AI tools often prioritize cohesiveness over accuracy, which means a human eye is needed to ensure content is accurate.
Censorship: AI avoids providing content regarding certain topics, which limits creator control.
Outdated Data: AI models may use outdated, static datasets which, in turn, affects data accuracy.
Biases: AI tools often have built-in biases, which can affect content neutrality.
Detection by Search Engines: As AI tools get smarter, so do search engines, which means AI-generated content may be flagged and ranked lower by Google and other search engines.
The Future of AI in SEO
AI-generated content can increasingly handle repetitive SEO tasks, assisting human content creators with bulk content creation; human writers can instead shift focus towards editing content, rather than researching, writing and proofing. Original, AI-generated content is expected to gain precedence, balancing the benefits AI provides within the content writing space, with the need for accurate and unique content writing.
