The potential has been born to let A.I. write your online content like SEO, LinkedIn posts, or even complete landing pages.

You’ve probably heard about A.I. doing some pretty amazing things, and you thought that this is interesting, but nothing that you need.

But…

• Do you want to write epic articles that people will fight over to read?

• Do you want to write great LinkedIn and social media posts that become a lead bomb for your traffic to explode?

• Do you want to write SEO that will SpaceX your ranking on Google?

• Are you writing or planning to write a book on Kindle or other platforms and love to become the next NYT bestseller Novelist?

Why not let A.I. do the work for you?

Would you do it?

Let’s have a look at 3 possible answers and use the A.I. platform Sudowrite to help us, limited humans, in the process.

Where do you fit?

Here are 3 roadmaps. Answers to the question if you should use A.I in your writing, or even let it write completely for you.

They’re your ethical compass so to speak.

Would you do it?

1. No way. I am an artist, my words are my own. I love writing and I don’t want to fool my readers into selling them (partly) artificial stories since then I would be lying to them and to myself
2. Why not give it a go? My goal is to make money online, no matter the route. It’s still me steering the A.I, I have to come up with the ideas, feed the A.I, copy-paste (oeff), and check the stuff my secret super copywriter comes up with. I don’t have ethical objections fooling my readers when the content is simply better since that will serve them
3. Hell yeah !!. A.I. and algorithms are killing my earnings. Time to pay big platforms back with their own weapons. F*ck my readers, they will be cyborgs themselves soon in the Metaverse. Better to start practicing soon

It's up to you to make your pick. Maybe you have some other additional thoughts. Love to read them in the comments.

Now let’s see what A.I. thinks of my 3 choices, let her/him/it give a voice.

This is what Sudowrite has to say on the subject

“I read the recent A.I. study from Google which showed that neural networks could write short stories by themselves. I wondered if they could express the sentiments of a person in a more personal way”, So wrote Medium’s content director Aaron Silvers, who has launched an experiment with a neural network named after a character in the film Her.

Her is a 2013 movie in which the lead character falls in love with his computer operating system.

“If it can write one story, maybe it could write your story,” he wrote. “Maybe it could write your stories.”

The result of Silvers’ experiment is a series of short stories written by Her.

Ok, great. ( This is me writing again). A.I. is telling us that Medium content director Aaron Silver already experimented back in 2016 with A.I. writing a series of short stories.

I would rank this insightful, but not really diving deeper into the ethical landscape and questions.

How does it work?

How did I A.I-generate this short paragraph?

I used Sudowrite. It's an app where you as a writer fill in a block, press wormhole, and A.I spit out text on the right side of the screen. You now can pick the best option, press insert, and the text will now appear in your original text.

Sudowrite is made to actually solve writer's block.

The example tutorial is quite appealing, using an imaginary phrase from an imaginary new Dan Brown novel.

This raised my first doubt. At this stage, A.I. tools like Sudowrite might be better suited to actually write novels. It feels like it still lacks the structural power, there where real experience, creativity, and years of writing come into play.

I could be wrong. As we know, A.I. is self-learning and will be able to spit out perfect Medium pieces about any subject soon.

Let’s copy-paste the text I just wrote and see what Sudowrite answer is on being good enough to write Medium articles instead of helping writer block.

Sudowrite about Sudowrite

Sudowrite suggests that it can break the writer’s block by providing an interesting alternative thought. This is an opposite approach to every other writing tool out there. Where the others focus on content, Sudowrite focuses on the structure.

Sudowrite works by providing alternative ways of phrasing the same sentence, which often results in a much more interesting sentence.

This is an interesting concept, which tries to shift the focus away from the content. In other words, the goal is not to write anything interesting. The goal is to…

and here it stopped writing.

There you got me Sudowrite, it is in fact the structure you focus on. You see, A.I. is smarter than you think.

A.I as your writing coach

This short text actually gave more valuable information for writers liking to try Sudowrite.

Sudowrite rephrases your text, giving alternatives to your structure. You can feed it a paragraph or even a sentence and it will spit out a better one, that you copy-paste, replacing your work.

In that sense, the A.I becomes your writing coach and motivator.

Sudowrite does give answers to questions you pose. This makes it also quite suitable to fill your Quora account solely with A.I. answers.

Here are some more upsides and a few downsides, generated by Sudowrite.

• I like the idea of a single tool that takes care of formatting and see how that helps me in my daily writing.
• The third thing that made me a bit uneasy is the price. The programme is currently priced at $79.95.
• I am not sure if the public is ready for this. I am sure that the market for the programme is there. If the programme is priced lower, I am sure that it would be a killer product
• Will it work for me? I won’t know before I try it.

Final question

The question is not whether you as a pure wordsmith should be worried. I think the question should be whether blogging platforms like Medium should be worried. (I believe Quora definitely should be worried)

As we’ve learned, Sudowrite can become your writing coach, supporting you in becoming a better writer by giving instant alternatives to phrases and structure. You are still in charge. You can decide to use the better suggestion.

In fact, I did this by morphing some of its suggestions in the head of this story. Got you!

Sudowrite tells us not to worry. Here is her/it/his conclusion;

Rest assured, A.I. will not replace your job anytime soon, because it has other jobs to solve first

Pfff, that’s a relief.
