Artificial intelligence (or AI) is not a new concept. Although the term was first used in 1950s, it has been around for decades in literature, especially science fiction.
AI is not a fantasy. Many of the online platforms that we use every day are already AI-integrated without our even realizing it. Ever wonder how Facebook knows exactly what ads you like? How is it possible to create a technical flowchart in a matter of seconds?
It’s all about AI. We’ll be looking at AI in content writing today. This is how this tech breakthrough has transformed the content writing industry over the past few years.
Recent statistics show that AI is used by 56.5% of CMOs, especially in content personalization. However, only 33.9% of CMOs use AI in content optimization.
Today we will discuss how AI has changed the way we create and innovate content.
Plagiarism Checker
Visual.ly
A plagiarism checker is the most essential tool every content writer should have. Don’t get us wrong. We believe most word combinations are already written. Given the volume of content published each day, we can only create unique articles.
This shouldn’t be a reason for anyone to copy entire articles so openly. It is not okay to copy someone else’s work, especially if they don’t consent.
We also know that sometimes we don’t realize that the exact combination of words that you have chosen has already been used. This honest error doesn’t matter.
These cases are considered “plagiarism” online. This is where plagiarism checkers step in.
Many plagiarism checkers started with the same technology that powers search engines. AI integration made these online tools easier to use and more efficient.
Fun Fact AI plagiarism checkers heavily rely on cloud computing to improve their algorithms. However, the majority of tools require machine learning and constant input to improve the technology. You can easily find many free tools on the internet.
Grammar and Sentence Checker
This tool is a bit more sophisticated than a basic plagiarism checker. Most word processors include a grammar and spelling checker.
These tools are becoming more sophisticated and include sentence structure checking. Grammarly is one of our favorites. It is our favorite grammar checker, and we use it with nearly all the content that we write. It’s even used as we are writing this article.
Other similar tools exist, such as Ginger Grammar or Hemingway. You are welcome to look at them all.
Factors to Consider
It is best to choose one that suits your writing preferences and needs. These are some other factors to think about:
-
Flexibility
Grammar checkers must be able to adapt to your preferred word processors. It is often more difficult to get used to a new software than it is to use a grammar checker. Grammarly can be used on Google Docs, in-browser and MS Word.
-
Built in Dictionary
This feature is extremely valuable. This feature is especially useful when you need to find synonyms to reduce redundancy or paraphrasing existing posts in order to create new ones.
-
Number Of Users
These tools can only be used by one user per account. This may seem like too much for some, but students and novice content writers will find it cheaper to share a premium account with another user.
Content Paraphrasing tools
Forbes estimates that there are 2.5 trillion bytes of data being created every day. Another survey shows that WordPress users create 70 million new posts per month.
Large websites covering multiple topics should publish new posts at least once per day. This is a lot of content!
Not all news sites need to publish unique articles every day. They can’t create stories.
They must report what is already there. It’s not surprising that content paraphrasing is in high demand.
Most people are familiar with paraphrasing programs from the past. The majority of paraphrasing programs simply alter sentences and replace words with synonyms. This is enough to fool plagiarism checkers. The resulting articles, however, are substandard and awkward.
Marketers still use content writers to paraphrase articles. This is a great job opportunity for those who are just starting out in writing. Paraphrasing posts can be costly, however.
AI technology has made content paraphrasing tools significantly easier. Some of the best programs can produce work comparable to that of professional content writers. Many of these programs can also paraphrase articles quickly, which reduces not only costs but also the turnover time.
Artificial Article Generators
You may be asking, “But what about creating new content?” It might surprise you to know that there are already AI article generators. Forbes published another article that stated that there are many websites that use AI to generate content, such as The New York Times or Associated Press.
AI tools are still generating a lot of the ads/sales copy on social media channels such as Instagram and YouTube. Recent statistics on YouTube show that users watch hundreds of hours of ads each day. These numbers would not be sustainable if humans were the only ones creating content. With AI tools, creating ad copy is now an automated process. This makes it much easier to create tons of copies.
The results are very robotic at the moment, as most tools follow a particular formula to create articles. Experts predict that there will be more AI-integrated tools. Natural language generation technology, or NLG, can make this possible.
What is NLG?
It is an AI technology that can learn languages. It can then use it in the way that is prescribed, like writing or speaking. This technology is what allows AI assistants such as Alexa or Cortana communicate with us. AI article generators function in the same manner, but instead of speaking, they write down their messages.
There will likely be many opinions on AI-generated poetry and novels. Some content writers may be concerned about being replaced. Time will tell.
Readability Analysis
Users are most concerned about the awkwardness and robotic sounding of AI-influenced content. These issues have been mentioned in passing.
We are not denying that such content is possible. These content can be produced by even human writers.
It doesn’t appeal very well to humans. We prefer conversational and natural-sounding articles that sound like we are talking to people. Articles should sound friendly and warm, not formulaic and cold.
The quality of your content is a key factor in determining how many people your website attractsYi. This is a critical aspect when you want to expand your online business. This is where readability analyzers are useful.
A readability analyzer, as the name implies, is a tool that determines how readers might perceive your content. Depending on what type of literature you are looking to analyze, there are different readability formulas such as the Raygor Readability Graph or Gunning Fog Index.
Flesch Reading Ease is the most widely used scoring system. The range is from 1 to 100 with 100 being the most popular.
Content writers strive for scores between 70 and 80. This score should be simple enough for most readers, but challenging enough to hold an adult’s interest. If you are writing for academic purposes, however, you would want to score higher.
How are Articles Scored?
Two factors are the basis of Flesch Reading Ease’s scoring system:
- Word Length Longer words that have more syllables tend to be more complex than those with fewer.
- Shorter sentences are easier to understand than longer sentences.
As an additional feature, some of the AI-integrated writing instruments we have listed will include a readability analysisr. For writers who don’t require additional tools or services, there are standalone readability analyzers. These are more powerful and produce better results than the built-in tools.
Optimizer Checker
Let’s say you have verified that your article has not been plagiarized. Through various writing tools, you have verified that the article is not plagiarized. You have also checked that each sentence is well-structured and has a high readability score.
All appears to be in order for human readers. Now what?
Next, make sure search engines are able to accurately read your content. Problem is that search engines and humans don’t process content in the exact same way.
It’s a complicated art to optimize written content. Optimizing written content is more than simply putting keywords in your posts. Doing so could lead to a penalty on your website, and your content ranking will be lower in search results.
It’s no surprise that a guest post service can cost quite a bit. Guest post writers make sure they create high-quality, optimized content that is worthy of publishing on any website.
It is important to be able to create similar quality articles while still keeping your costs down. You can instead use an optimizer to assess how SEO-friendly your article.
It is important to ensure that the tool you choose is AI-integrated. A regular tool will not count your article’s keywords.
Factors that Determine Optimized Content
To give you an idea of the three most important factors search engines consider when determining the worth of an article or webpage, Google included.
-
Content Quality
Search engine companies have two main goals: to help users find the right content to answer their questions and add value to their lives. They don’t care if your article is well written or not.
-
Basic Errors
An article should not contain any spelling or grammar errors. Poorly written content is not something that anyone enjoys, even search engines.
Grammarly
-
Relevance
Keywords are key here. Keywords help search engines decide which content should be included in their results. People believe that keyword stuffing is possible.
Search engines now have AI and can recognize syntax nuances. As mentioned, keyword stuffing can even get you penalized.
Reverse Image
The majority of the content we have discussed so far has been published online. But what about the content published before the advent of the internet? They are digitalized every day, and most of them are meticulously digitized.
Are you looking for similar content to digitize and post on your website? Although you can hire an encoder to create your document, why not make use of a reverse image-text tool instead?
It is also known as an image to text converter. This tool can convert images into text. It will save you time and help you complete the task quickly. This tool can be used to convert scanned documents or photos that contain written information.
Recent Instagram statistics show that Instagramming and blogging are becoming more closely connected. It’s not easy to reproduce every post from your IG account as textual content for your blog pages if you are an IG vlogger, influencer or other type of IG vlogger. An image-to-text converter tool makes it easy to transform your image content into textual material.
You should also ensure that the tool you choose is AI-integrated, as not all programs have been fully updated. Reverse image text tools with AI integration are more accurate in their conversion. They can even autocorrect difficult words and create a coherent and understandable text.
To Sum Up
Artificial intelligence is not limited to communication and finance tools. Many AI-integrated tools are specifically made for content writing.
Online tools such as grammar checkers, readability analyzers and optimizers use AI technology to deliver smarter and better results. Current trends indicate that AI technology may soon be the main source of online content.
We can use the current technology to check out the tools we have included. These tools are already transforming the world of content writing.
