AI Created VS AI Assisted Content
AI Content Creation vs. AI-Assisted Content Creation, Understanding the Nuances
In the digital age, artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the way content is created. From generating full fledged articles to assisting with data analysis, AI’s capabilities are vast. However, there’s a significant distinction between AI content creation and AI-assisted content creation, each serving different needs and ethics in content generation. "Judging the content of others is purely unprofessional"
AI Content Creation
AI content creation refers to the process where AI systems independently generate content with minimal to no human intervention. This type of technology relies on algorithms such as natural language generation (NLG) to produce content that mimics human writing. It’s often used to generate reports, news, and even poetry or stories from scratch based purely on the data and prompts fed into the AI. While this might sound efficient, it poses questions about originality and authenticity since the content created purely by AI lacks a personal touch or real-world experiences. From personal experience learning AI, always input your own details, sections, keywords, etc. Never rely solely on AI content creation.
AI-Assisted Content Creation
On the other hand, AI-assisted content creation is where the technology serves as a tool to enhance and support the creative efforts of human writers. In this model, AI steps into the role of an assistant rather than a creator. Writers input their ideas, details, and personal nuances into AI prompts, which the technology then uses to refine and professionally articulate the content. This method combines the creative capabilities of humans with the computational power of AI, often leading to content that is both engaging and polished. Again resort back to the last paragraph of the first section of this post. I can't emphasize this enough. Embed it into your brain.
AI-assisted creation ensures that the final content is uniquely tailored to reflect the individual’s style and informational needs. One common misconception is when asterisks or other formatting elements are used in AI-generated drafts, they do not necessarily denote mere copy & pasting or lack of creativity. Instead, they might be retained because they contribute to a more professional or visually appealing presentation of the post. It’s crucial not to jump to conclusions about the methods behind content creation based solely on it's presentation!
Moreover, the pervasive use of AI in content creation, whether as a tool or a sole creator, is undeniable. Many individuals and businesses rely heavily on these technologies to manage workflow and enhance productivity, including everyone here at WA. Dismissing the use of AI in modern content creation processes might overlook the fundamental ways our working habits and tools have evolved. Indeed, calling someone a liar, mocking or poking fun at their post for utilizing the use of AI to assist in content creation might certainly be unnecessary and unprofessional, but it underscores the idea that AI technologies are an integral part of the modern content creation landscape and era we now have to adapt to.
In A Nutshell
While AI can fully generate content, AI-assisted content creation where personal input leads to unique and authentic material emerges as the preferable and ethical choice. This collaboration between human creativity and artificial intelligence not only maintains the personal touch in content but also leverages AI’s ability to enhance the clarity and appeal of the written piece. As we continue to navigate this digital era, understanding and using AI responsibly and creatively will be key in crafting content that is not only effective but also sincerely human.
On A Personal Note
Mistakes happen right? Humans aren't perfect and AI is far from perfect. We are all about building each other up for success, not knocking each other down here at WA. Keep your heads held high, ignore the judgements and embrace your own path to success. You are in the drivers seat. Like My Personal Bio States, Never Give Up!!

Good message, John.
I agree with the AI-assisted content. I use Hubs and AI, but I take a lot of time tweaking it with my own text, etc. Hubs has helped me tremendously in just coming up with the outlines.
I choose the best titles for what I want to convey and modify them for my blog.
Thanks,
Teri
Hi - rather than seeing the comments on your previous post as a personal attack or unprofessional judgment of your work, perhaps see it as a gentle "heads up."
The rule regarding AI-generated content in WA blog posts is relatively new, and was introduced due to the increasing prevalence of poor content, that offered no actionable advice or genuine knowledge of the subject.
Thus, as you are relatively new to the platform, the members were perhaps concerned that you may fall foul of these rules.
There are others who may not have offered this initial warning but simply marked your post as spam, which could lead to a ban on communication.
I am pleased you have clarified that your content is AI-assisted, and I wish you every success in your online endeavors.
Thank you for the response.
This blog was definitely not just based on my previous blog about being completely AI generated, but also a pattern I've noticed over the past few weeks.
Simply educational knowledge for everyone starting out. I have thick skin and did brush off the comments on my previous post and moved on.
It was the pure humiliation in the live chat that hit a nerve with me and from some pretty well recognized members. But again I brushed it off and just wanted to clarify my content by creating this blog so no other member who may not have thick skin takes it to heart and becomes discouraged on their path to success.
Forgive, forget and move on in my eyes, life's to short to hold a grudge.
Wishing you all the best.
John.
I use AI a lot. I have decently ranked articles with and without it. Many times, when I don't feel like doing anything, I'll have AI create articles for me to work on. Loose ends bother me, so after seeing them sitting there long enough, I'll get after them. Step one is getting rid of most of the crap words and phrases and even paragraphs.
We might not be perfect, John, or maybe we are all perfect, but one thing is for sure; we're all nuts!
Take care,
Dave

Great article John,
I am just getting into using AI, but I seem to remember something awhile back about creating articles using ChatGPT and then checking them with Grammarly for plagiarism/originality...is that still an option?
I've personally never used grammarly myself. So I'm not sure about that question my friend.
I just try and make sure I keep my ai assisted content as originally mine as possible. I spend a good 30 to 45 minutes writing what I want highlighted, detailed, explained etc into how ever many sections I ask for.
I then create the content on chat gpt and copy it over to MS word to add my final touches, wording etc before publishing.
Hope that helps you out.
Yes Sir it does - Thanks
My pleasure Chuck.
