The AI angle
AI writes SEO-optimized blog posts in minutes. Tools like Jasper, Writer, and ChatGPT handle the entire first-draft process. Google's helpful content system penalizes generic AI content but rewards original insight. The floor dropped, but the ceiling for quality content got higher.
What to do about it
• Shift from blog writer to editor-in-chief of AI output
• Focus on original research, expert interviews, and proprietary data
• Learn content strategy and distribution (not just production)
• Develop a distinctive editorial voice that AI can't replicate
