To be visible and well referenced, there is no secret: you have to produce content, sometimes in sequence, on subjects that are not always exciting for the author, but which are well referenced. Here is one of the only areas where artificial intelligence is really useful and has proven itself: writing articles.
General content
If you are in a very specialized or very specific niche, generating articles with robots absolutely does not work. In political matters, the results are perfectly catastrophic, or comical, depending on the point of view adopted. Same thing for questions that are too specific or too localized: these tools cannot write.
The reason ? The tools are designed for the English language and generally for an American environment. If you try to make your robot write an article on the political situation in Indonesia, chances are that you will find yourself faced with a string of words that make absolutely no sense.
It is therefore necessary to take its tools for what they are: a writing aid, but not a fundamental source to be used as a priority. Also, be aware that most have character limits, so don’t expect ready-to-publish content at all in three clicks.
Article builder: the very general tool
Among the content generation tools, there is Article builder. This imposes specific categories of articles on the user. User can add keywords.
The result is passable, but not enough to make you want to click. At a pinch, it can be used for introductory remarks on a blog article. It is quite expensive for what it can do.
Forged Item: The Usurped Reputation
When you ask for a content generator, Article forge often comes up in the answers. However, the result is frankly mediocre, even in English. It’s not worth the $117 per month charge.
Despite a dozen attempts, for very general content, the results were disappointing and systematically required a total rewrite. Note that the content was in English and not in French.
Rytr.me: a writing aid
If you think Rytr.me will write for you, you are wrong. In fact, Rytr.me is a writing aid. It can be very useful when you get stuck on a point in your article or when you struggle to make an introduction. It is also good at getting out of questions. It has a lot of options and if you have use of it, it may be worth the investment in a subscription.
Count 29 dollars per month for unlimited use, but there is a free version, which will allow you to get an idea.
Jarvis/Jasper: the too expensive competitor of Rytr.me
Jarvis, formerly Jasper, is considered a benchmark in content generation and writing assistance. However, even with the most expensive option, the results are not convincing. Add to that that the tool itself is complex.
Pitfalls
At the moment, most content generation tools are pretty poor. On the other hand, writing assistance tools give interesting results, as long as the subject is not too specialized or specific.
However, regardless of the tools and their cost, there is a pitfall they all fall into: plagiarism. Indeed, the technology uses already existing content to generate the articles, so there is always a risk of plagiarism. However, Google does not like this at all. This is why most tools include a “spin” or “rewrite” function. As the name suggests, it consists of using synonyms or twisting sentences in such a way that Google does not spot plagiarism, at least in form.
Can we produce content on the chain with this type of tool? We can, but a site that would only be built with this type of articles would have bad statistics. Without necessarily knowing that this content is “dummy” when read, Internet users will understand that there is something artificial and therefore will not return.
