The Results

Our Conclusion For Content Writing AI
So, now we can see what content writing AI is capable of; our assessment is that a tool like this is probably most useful to a small business, with no marketing department, looking to tick the content box. However, if you’re wanting to produce writing that’s informed and technical, this tool may not be so useful. This isn’t to say this tool is completely useless, though. If you’re often staring at a blank page, struggling with writer’s block, a tool like this could be really useful in coming up with ideas you may not have thought of. You could take a seed of an idea it produced, and flesh the text out yourself.
The most noteworthy thing to take away from this is its future potential. Content writing AI may not be perfect, and quite obviously un-human, but keep in mind this kind of tool is in its very early stages. Who knows where it may lead in the future. Technological improvements are inevitable, so if you’re interested in AI automated marketing tools; It’s not a question of if, but rather of when.
