I have been writing online in some way, shape, or form since about 2005/06.

I’ve seen all the tools come and go. I’ve used many of them, bought them, subscribed and honestly, the only ones that I use nowadays are Grammarly, because my punctuation sucks mostly, and I also use title capitalization tools like this bad boy and occasionally character counting tools like this one.

Recently I was asked by someone what my thoughts were on web-based AI writing tools and services. Well here are my thoughts ma’am.

My first instinabout to AI in the world of online content creation is eww, yuck, get it away.

The word ‘poser’ comes to mind. As does fake and lazy.

And I can tell you exactly why I feel this way. I don’t have thoughts on this topic, I am embedded in it. I create written content and come up with briefs for others and the amount of AI-written garbage that is sent to me regularly by lazy, swindling writers trying to make easy money is insane.

But hang on…those are humans trying to do the swindling right, why the hate for the bots man?

Correct. Those are my initial gut instincts, and for good reason, as explained above. I’m not paying some jack-ass to write me a so-called high quality article with a high level of expertise on a topic just for them to type some words and phrases into a tool like Jasper AI and then send it back to me with their hand out asking for payment.

To give you a brief example of what I mean. Here is a brief comparison of an AI versus me.

I wrote this piece on my blog yesterday titled Crypto Staking Newbie Guide. You can see it’s absolutely flawless. Haha. Just kidding. But, honestly, it’s OK right? It was written by me, a human and I think it makes sense, its clear and tells you what it is supposed to tell you. Lets compare it to one of these tools shall we:

I input the exact same title into Jasper AI’s Blog Post Outline template tool, along with the tone of voice being: chatty, friendly, knowledgeable. Here is the result:

Lets review the result.

1, yeah OK.

2, gotchya.

3, makes sense.

4, what, its 2022?!

5, back on track,, makes sense.

6, again with the nonsense.

Lets try something else.

This time I will try the template called Blog Post Intro Paragraph.

Create the inputs, hit generate, here is what I get:

Upon first look it seems OK.

There is a flow and its understandable.

But upon looking at with a critical eye. The very first sentence needs to be scrapped, there is no way I am putting my name on anything that says X is a ‘great way to make some extra money’. No way. If this was a human writer, I would not use them again because it’s giving readers the wrong impression and it threatens me and my business.

Further down in the first attempt you will see Jasper is now apparently telling the reader I am going to recommend them which coins to stake. F*…….
