Potential risks associated with using AI-generated content for SEO

While you can generate AI content quickly and easily, it sometimes fails to add any flair and a unique individual writing style to the end content. What AI content generated by the likes of ChatGPT can do is to use the data available on the internet and combine multiple data points and that content may not be unique in terms of the ideas and wiring given even though it may be unique in terms of plagiarism. What you might end up getting is the lowest common denominator or just the common points amongst the multiple references of content available online. Uniqueness and fresh ideas are not possible but you may get what is considered as passable content. 

One risk that is somewhat low but quite possible is plagiarism. As the natural language models use content created by others as reference and don’t have real world experience or knowledge, plagiarism is quite possible although most natural models do create unique content based on the data available. 

Also, all the major writers of their time have their own way of writing and use of words. As such the use of natural language models that can provide a dry sense of writing and mechanical way of presentation can really degrade the reading experience of the end users. Machine generated content is not likely to stir up emotions in the reader.

Can AI-generated content impact search ranking or not?

Google’s official position is that search rankings and AI generated content are not related. As Google is likely to roll out its own AI natural language processors, it will not downgrade the usage of AI processors by de-ranking them. Also its very difficult to find out if a text has been written by an AI or an actual person with the current advanced natural language processors that can provide text that is quite structured and comprehensible. 

Conclusion

Search engines are becoming increasingly adept at evaluating content quality and relevance, regardless of whether it is human-generated or AI-assisted. As long as AI-generated content maintains high standards of relevance, originality, and value, it can contribute positively to search rankings. However, it’s essential to remember that AI is a tool that should be used thoughtfully to enhance human creativity and expertise, rather than replace it entirely.
