AI writing - 12+ Myths, Facts, & Half Truths
I shared these with writers in my group. I think they are equally valid for fellow affiliate marketers (especially point 4 and 5).
I'm a tech content writer who started right here at WA.
Here it goes.
1. I'm neither for nor against AI writing.
2. Some clients prefer AI-assisted content, while others want 100% human writers.
3. Be transparent with clients if you're using AI.
4. Google permits AI-generated content as long as it's helpful. But whether your AI content is helpful or not-- that's a different story.
5. If you can't write and rank on Google without AI, it's unlikely that you will with one.
6. AI cannot tell your story or replicate your emotion. AI can be funny, weird, serious, sarcastic, but it's still not you.
7. If you feel that AI writes better than you, then AI might replace you.
8. If your clients think AI is better, AI WILL replace you.
9. Generative AI is not a good fact-checker. Be mindful if your works require citations to legit sources.10. Fact-check everything, whether written by AI or humans.
11. Do I use AI? Yes. For my own stuff. It'll be foolish not to leverage AI in a proper way.
12. Use AI wisely, to help you in your work. Not to replace you or hurt your career.
13. Who am I to talk about AI?
- a former electronics engineer
- built a simple voice command app before there was Siri
- I write for AI companies without using AI writing tools.
Let me know what's your thoughts? or questions.

These are some great points. AI is a great tool to assist in your writing. I always go through and add my own voice and double-check any facts the AI includes. AI is great for writing content, but you should only use it as a reference—something to build the final article on.
