AI tools can be helpful during certain steps of the content writing process—like research—but these tools can’t replace the human touch needed to write helpful and engaging content. For example, many of the tools we listed above are actually AI content writing tools. Grammarly and Hemingway Editor both use artificial intelligence to analyze your writing for errors. At DemandJump, we use data aggregated with AI to draw meaningful connections from search engine use patterns.
However, while AI does have its place in the writing process, even the best AI tools struggle when it comes to actually writing SEO content. That’s because AI writing tools recycle existing content. According to Forbes, this can increase the risk of plagiarism, which negatively impacts search engine rankings. AI generated content also lacks the human ability to evoke strong emotions and come up with creative ideas.
Rather than relying on AI to create your content from start to finish, you can use these tools to speed up research and revision, which gives you more time and energy to write the best content possible for your audience.
