Conclusion

There have been many debates on the pros vs cons of AI. While one set believes that AI is likely to be more harmful than helpful, by displacing human jobs; there is another set focusing on the silver lining.

It’s a proven fact that when applied to content creation, AI can turn a good post into a great one by effortlessly adding a bonus layer like SEO-optimization.

Not only that , they can also make continuous changes and adaptations to the content based on revised SEO rules, with the speed and accuracy unmatched by a human content creator.

These are the capabilities of the present-day tools that make anyone self-dependent – be it a small time entrepreneur or a social media influencer.

Let’s take an example of a small business owner – adopting any of the above mentioned AI tools will enable him/ her to focus on creating basic content with depth, thought and critical thinking – at a reasonable cost.

That said, doing it independently also demands time and dedication to a certain extent. It’s always a choice between time/ dedication vs monetary investment. Ain’t it? 🙂

AI is learning every day in one way or the other and the possibility of it outsmarting humans can not be completely discounted.

However, it is long way ahead for it to completely replace humans – another problem for another day. Until then, we can continue to leverage its capabilities to accomplish the smaller tasks and topping it with an additional layer of human intelligence.
