Since its release in November of 2022, ChatGPT has changed the landscape of content creation as we know it—and as new artificial intelligence (AI) technologies continue to emerge, the lines between human-generated and computer-generated content have become increasingly blurry.

Yes, it’s true that AI has changed not only the way we write—but the way we think about content.

At Rock Content, we’ve been keeping a close eye on AI technology and its impact on the world of content creation. In our experience, AI can be an extremely powerful and efficient tool for productivity — and we’re already using it in some innovative and exciting ways. 

At the end of the day, however, it is my stance that AI will not replace human-generated content and will never be as creative as humans.

What, exactly, do I mean by that? If you tuned into my recent Marketing Backstage webinar, you already know.

But if you didn’t get the chance to listen live, this post will summarize Rock Content’s stance on AI and offer some insights into how our teams are using it to enhance efficiency and optimize content.

What AI Can (And Cannot) Do in Terms of Content Creation

It’s been less than a year since the first version of ChatGPT made its debut, yet we’ve already witnessed the incredible things AI can do when it comes to content creation.

From coming up with new topic ideas to generating meta titles, headings, and calls to action, AI has proven to be extremely useful in the content realm.

At the same time, there are some things that AI cannot do (and may never be able to do) — things that will always require the human touch to achieve.

Consider, for example, that AI tools cannot be relied upon to provide 100% factual information all the time. This has been proven time and time again, as fact-checkers have found major flaws and errors in AI-generated content.

Likewise, AI cannot create thought leadership content because it can’t write persuasively. AI tools are unable to reliably write about current events or any topics with rapidly changing information — and they fail at generating objective and unbiased content about social, political, and religious issues.

As I state in my Marketing Backstage webinar, AI content generation will not replace humans, but it will make them more powerful.

When used for research and ideation, AI tools can make content creation more efficient and effective. However, great content will always require fact-checking, editing, and creation by real people.

How Rock Content Utilizes AI to Improve Content Effectiveness

At Rock Content, we don’t use AI to replace our roles as content creators — but to amplify and optimize our content-creation processes.

Real Examples: How Rock Content Uses AI

So, what are some ways in which our team at Rock Content is already using artificial intelligence?

  • Comparison – Using ChatGPT to create instantaneous comparison tables (including pro/con tables or similarity/difference tables). This can be an effective way to save time while researching and organizing information for a piece of content, though fact-checking is always recommended.
  • Tone analyzer – Using AI tools (like ChatGPT) to rebrand or rewrite content in a specific tone and voice.
  • Email titles – We have found a lot of success with using AI tools to generate eye-catching and engaging email titles, which can help to increase open rates and overall engagement rates in a marketing campaign.
  • White spaces – AI tools can be used to discover “white spaces,” or areas where content from the competition is lacking on a specific subject. This is a great way to brainstorm new content ideas that have not yet been covered or that could be covered in a new way to reach an audience.
  • CTAs – AI tools are effective in writing strong calls-to-action when correctly prompted. Effective calls-to-action can help to increase conversions, making it easier to reach new potential customers or clients.

These are just a few examples of the many ways in which our own team has found success using AI to optimize its content-creation process and improve content marketing ROI. How can you do the same for your own content strategy?

WriterAccess and Content Cloud

Rock Content is also proud to have acquired WriterAccess, which is now part of what we call the Content Cloud suite.

Specifically, WriterAccess is a marketplace of vetted professional freelancers who are ready to create high-quality content for your brand.

The Bottom Line

Only time will tell the true impact that AI will have on the way we create content. However, if the past eight months are any indication of what the future holds, it’s likely that the content ideation and creation process is being changed forever.

At the end of the day, I anticipate that there will always be a need for that human touch in content creation.

Even the most advanced of AI tools will never be able to replicate what humans are able to provide in terms of creativity and accuracy. Still, AI tools clearly have a place in the content marketing realm.

From brainstorming and ideation to headline generation, comparisons, and much more — Rock Content is committed to blending the best of both worlds.
