Let’s be honest. If you’ve published anything online in the last two years — an article, a product description, a company announcement, a social media post — there’s a good chance that AI was involved somewhere in the process. Maybe you used it for a first draft. Maybe a collaborator did it. Maybe you just gave your text a quick edit and thought it was done.
This isn’t a criticism. AI writing tools are really useful, and those who claim otherwise are usually those who haven’t properly tested them. But there’s a gap that most people don’t talk about: using AI to produce content and publishing content that reads well, performs in search, and doesn’t immediately send the message “this was written by a machine” are not the same thing. Not at all.
