ChatGPT is Writing My Blog Posts (Well, Sorta)
ChatGPT is Writing My Blog Posts (Well, Sorta)
As you may recall, I've been exploring ChatGPT fairly extensively. See my post All My ChatGPT Blog Posts.
With a lot of websites to oversee, writing long blog posts can be very time consuming.
So I've enlisted ChatGPT's assistance. This is how I go about it:
I decide on the subject matter for the blog post and refine the actual title with a little Jaaxy research.
Then I ask ChatGPT to create a 1000 word article on that title.
I copy and paste the entire article.
ChatGPT seems to like numbered lists, which typically look like 1. Subject Line. Subject Content. I figure this might be a marker for AI-generated content plus it looks too much like a wall of text, so I eliminate the numbering and change it to
Subject Line (rendered as h3)
Subject Content
Of course, the article started off with an h1 heading and there are other h2 headings, so this breaks down the wall of text and creates an hierarchical structure that the search engines like.
Then I use Pixabay to find images related to my h2 headings, insert one after each heading and flow the text around it.
Finally, I read through the entire post and change some of the wording to reflect my own personal style and also add a couple of additional paragraphs containing my own opinions about the subject matter.

O M Geeeee! I've just followed your directives!
My Jaaxy stats on x2 keywords are;
Ave 61861 v QSR 198
Ave 4902 v QSR 80
And so based on what you just showed me, aside from a read through for my own piece of mind and perhaps inserting my own personality, I can hit/achieve those keywords! Mindboggling is not the word.
Search Engine Land had this to say about ChatGPT content:
AI-generated information can be factually incorrect, dangerous, outdated or misleading.
AI writing outputs can be subpar.
While there's no explicit penalty for AI content, Google may not always trust and view it like human-created content.
AI content may be able to "fool" editors or businesses who think they're paying for human-created content.
AI content may leverage create work from humans and repurpose it without attribution.
As long as you're okay with that, God Bless.
Sure, that's just a matter of rewriting where necessary. It's all part of doing adequate research on whatever you're writing about, irrespective of where you're sourcing the content from.
This is a bit ironic. The latest post that I've just published to my super affiliate challenge website is all about... using ChatGPT to create blog posts. ChatGPT was, of course used to create it! If you've got a moment, have a look and let me know what you think.
Hi Phil,
I used ChatGPT for proofreading a book that I just finished writing, and it does a beautiful job. The only downside is that I had to subdivide it into 2-3 chapters simultaneously.
Just a suggestion in case you have not tried using it this way.
Have a wonderful day!
Hello Chris,
I had to copy and paste them in so that it could then be proofread and give suggested changes or improvements.
Have a wonderful day!
I'm a natural-born proofreader so I haven't used it that way, except for illustrative purposes in my e-book about ChatGPT. I'm glad you got a good result.
ChatGPT has some size limitations. I don't know if upgrading gets rid of them but I'm about to find out. I'm using it enough now to feel that upgrading is the right thing to do.
Hi Phil,
It does not get rid of the limitations on that part. But there is now server too busy issues, lol.
I am glad I upgraded.
Have a wonderful day!
You're welcome. I find that if I ask it to write a 1000 word article, it cuts off mid-sentence at the end. But then I just ask it to write a short article on the bit that was cut off and then tack it on.

Thanks, I thought you might have chanced on some cool and nifty approach out there lol
So it only allows 2-3 chapters - I see, I wonder how many word limit that is- have to check this out. Need to update several of my old leadgen ebooks
Hi Chris,
Here is the response I got from ChatGPT when I asked what the limitations are...
"In general, it is best to keep the amount of text within reasonable limits to ensure accurate and timely processing. A good rule of thumb is to keep the text below 100,000 characters if possible. If you need to proofread a longer text, consider breaking it down into smaller chunks and submitting them separately."
I hope this helps.
Have a wonderful day!
Hi Phil,
I think the article is excellent. The only thing that I would watch out for is that ChatGPT likes to use the same phrases.
For instance, in the book I wrote, I had to proofread in several sections. And when pasted in separately due to size for proofreading, it made the same suggested words
"Imagine yourself, "
for several chapter intros.
I have found that if I use a combination of ChatGPT for proofreading along with Grammarly, it works pretty well to catch this so that I can make some additional changes.
I hope this helps.
Have a wonderful day!
Thanks. You're right about the phrases and after a while you know what to look out for and pick them up. I'm yet to really go through that last blog post. Most of what I did was add more stuff, restructure and add the images.
It is well structured already so I don't see you having to do a lot when you go through it. ☺☺

I started this a few weeks before I came to WA. I need to look at how you're doing this. Most of the shills (sorry not you :-) ) have been pushing this to do some ridiculous number of posts an hour.
I will look into what you are doing and see if I can adjust my process, thank you Phil!
Yesterday I generated an 11,000+-word post (a very long list of features associated with a security toolkit for corporations with details on each one). I have a bit of editing to do because I had to generate it in pieces and chat GPT sort of went on its own on some of the formatting.
A few days before that, I generated a 2500-word post that, honestly, is one of my worst from the standpoint of quality. I need to improve it over time but it took me about 4-6 hours to build and post.
So it can be done.
Thanks, Michael. I have tons of blog posts and training on using ChatGPT and will gather them into a single summary post shortly.
