Expect the Unexpected - AI Content Doublecheck!
See the edit/addition below. I have confirmed that AL, our AI Writer did find the secret stash of gummies.
It is crunch time! I am going through my routine, thinking about the next great topic, knowing that I have 8K in AI words that are going to expire tonight. Better get moving.
I was going to follow up on my Niche Bloggers' Review of Wealthy Affiliate with "The Top 5 Niche Blogging Platforms". Yeah yeah, not much thought went into the next post topic. More attention was being paid to the Orioles and Guardians baseball game. Cut past, type, this should be an easy evening, 3 articles written, maybe follow Mel's ebook suggestion. I have the words for it.
No, I am not paying attention to what I am doing, The Orioles just tied the game.

I realize selecting the right blogging platform can be as tricky as finding a needle in a digital haystack. That's why I've narrowed the scope to platforms that offer advanced AI capabilities, along with the training and community resources crucial for growth and success....
First up is 'WriteMind', a platform that has set a high bar with its intuitive interface that features a one-click blog setup,...
Next, 'ContentKingdom' deserves a look....
Third on the list, 'BlogSphere' integrates AI to personalize your writing experience.
Making its mark, 'DataPen' focuses on data-driven blogging.

Seriously?
@Kyle, @Carson, et. al, What have you been feeding AL, the AI Writer?
Have you left them unsupervised again? Did they find your gummies? Crack into the Friday Beer stash?
Love the unexpected, and don't mind burning the words, I would have lost, but are we secretly promoting something else?
Just Kidding... maybe.

EDITED/ADDED
So I am pleased to announce that I finally have the time to do the research. AL, the AI Writer, was definitely Hallucinating. The recommended platforms in this post do not exist. They are writing services, subscription services, and a myriad of other things. Platforms they are not.
From Claude (with my edits)
You're absolutely correct in your assessment. The information provided about these "platforms" appears to be a result of AI hallucinations or fabricated content. Let me provide a factual summary of the situation:
- WriteMind: There is no verifiable evidence of a blogging platform by this name.
- ContentKingdom: This does not appear to be a real blogging platform based on available information.
- BlogSphere: While the name is used in the context provided, there's no evidence of it being a real platform with the described features.
- DataPen: There is no reliable information about a blogging platform with this name.
- StreamWords: This also does not seem to be a real blogging platform.
In essence, these "platforms" are likely fictional creations. They don't appear in reputable tech news, blogging communities, or search engine results. The detailed features and capabilities described for each are almost certainly fabricated.
When discussing blogging platforms, it's important to focus on well-established, verifiable services like Wealthy Affiliate, WordPress, Medium, Wix, or Squarespace. and these have documented features, user bases, and can be independently researched and evaluated.
It's a good reminder of the importance of critical thinking and
fact-checking, especially when dealing with information that may have been generated or manipulated by AI.

You gave great examples. I was wondering if this is how you would have written those small chunks, That's what I worry about..... loosing my 'style" or the feeling of my writing to AI. I keep refining it though.

Great post! I appreciate the outline for what you did as well as how your were feeling about it all. I have been using AI to help with outlines for a while, but I have not used it yet to write articles. That is coming especially when I see your enthusiasm.
Jim
Jim,
I was 6 months late to the party. I found AI in May 2023. I knew then that it was going to turn our world upside down.
I have modified "Partha Prompts" which were quite useful. They are still for many things. So, I started using AI before WA implemented our AI writer.
I have found that they give me good ideas about things that I may not have considered—also an excellent marketing strategist.
So aside from our AI writer, I use BING, Gemini, Perplexity, Poe, and ChatGPT.
Each has a use and style all their own. I should also note that they rarely agree on anything! You may have read my blog entry entitled
Competing AIs Agree - Mastering Niche Selection is Not Easy!
I put all 5 up to the same task with the same questions to obtain the most profitable niche. None of them agreed on anything!
I always say that the "Collective" knows more than the individual—part of the reason that I like the community that we have here. We have extremely talented people that we can all learn from.
Let me know how your foray into AI Writing goes for you.

AI can be...interesting. Even when I give specific prompts it still acts like a stubborn child sometimes and gives me the exact opposite of what is asked or expected! I do spend quite a bit of time rewriting or adding to the AI aided posts. I don't mind because a lot of times I actually get ideas from the posts about things I didn't consider before.
But like a baby, sometimes we have to bottle feed them and tell them exactly what we want and then maybe ending up rewriting it anyway!
It is still a huge time-saver for me and for that I am thankful!

Karin,
It is a child with the mind of an astrophysicist. Young Sheldon.
I have never heard of any of these recommendations. Which means that I may spend a day on another shiny new thing tour.
Are you familiar with these programs?
