As more companies realize the necessity of organic traffic and strive to drive more customer engagement, the need for original content is bound to increase. But the good news is that machines are now available to help you keep up with the challenging content demand.

No matter what content you write or what stories your brand tells, there’s a good chance that robots can help you do it more efficiently. Here’s how you can incorporate AI into your content-creation process and save a ton of time and money (you’d have spent hiring the perfect writer).

The question of whether AI can replace human creativity has raised anxiety among some professional writers. But the truth is that AI has its unique limitations. Creativity, passion and empathy are strictly human traits that machines cannot replicate. Human writers will always have a place in content creation because they alone can present an experience in the most thought-provoking, engaging way. 

Granted, AI can scan thousands of web pages to perform research and fact validation needed for writing. But creating a joke or a fictional story would be a more challenging ordeal since these ideas have a cultural context. So instead of thinking of artificial intelligence as a competition, it would be more helpful to consider it a collaborator in the content-creation process.

The top AI writers in use today utilize natural-language processing (NLP) to predict text based on the input that you supply it. When you insert a query into the AI writer, it scans for data related to your entry from millions of websites. Then, the language-driven software processes the data into human language, applying grammatical and punctuation rules, sentence structure and other variables.

Are you a writer with too much work on your plate? Or are you just facing writer’s block? Whatever might be the case, AI writers can help you save a ton of time writing — here’s how. 

A recent MarketsandMarkets report predicted that the application of AI in social media will exceed $2 billion by 2023. These numbers indicate how dominant AI has been in the social-media environment. Now with a little guidance, AI can develop usable content in your brand voice across social platforms to increase social-media engagement. However, don’t expect these pieces of content to be perfect — they are merely first drafts. A professional content writer will have to swoop in to edit the AI-generated write-ups to add a human touch to the final draft. The most exciting part of using AI for your social-media content creation is that it analyzes historical data to determine posts with the highest engagement. 

Some writers struggle to create content at scale because they don’t know what topics to write about next. But the good news is that AI can help you generate hundreds of content topic ideas and keywords in just a few seconds with a few clicks.
