With so many people jumping on the AI bandwagon, it’s no secret there’s some cause to be concerned. AI can do many things, but it does come with some limitations. Our team at TheBestReputation found numerous rules in using AI and some consequences of using inauthentic material that can directly affect any industry.
Getting past those limitations can be challenging for those needing to improve their writing in different areas. However, it’s also essential to understand the ramifications of solely using machine-generated content.
While it can be a useful tool, many industries need to be aware of the limitations and sometimes problems using too much AI-generated content can cause.
What types of limitations could there possibly be with AI? Here are just a few:
Context
While a few main AI generators are hugely popular, it takes time to determine which ones are better than the others. For example, humans speak in various ways, and you’d need help solidifying sarcasm or specific cultural references with AI.
Common Sense
Our world is consistently changing, so what may make sense one day can transform into something else in the blink of an eye. But unfortunately, AI isn’t that great at making decisions or solving problems that have widespread effects worldwide.
Creativity
While AI consistently learns and feeds off the information being given, it cannot create new concepts or ideas. Drawings are generated based on human input – what they think and imagine. Writing is developed based on ideas that are human-generated. Without human interaction, the system cannot stand on its own.
Emotion
When writing or speaking, you often hear the emotion. Unfortunately, AI isn’t built for that. It doesn’t capture the feeling of someone writing a poem when they are grieving or the words that stem from jealousy or envy. While some systems are being developed to understand emotions better, the real thing is different.
Bias
We live in a world of bias, but having a system generating bias is difficult. For example, when using AI, if the system is programmed based on the developer’s preference, the system may lean toward being biased against certain cultures or economic groups. This would be problematic, resulting in unfair treatment of particular groups of people.
Leaving Writing to the Professionals
Consider this: if AI consistently creates content for tons of people, the outcome would be generic information with no feeling or meaning. Blogs and articles may sound alike. Professional writers understand nuances, brand voice, emotion, and other elements that artificial intelligence can’t capture.
While AI has advanced and may have its advantages, it can never replace the words and phrases that professional writers use. So why use a writer over AI? Again, writers have that special “something” that can’t be generated from a machine. From the beginning sentence to adding signature signs, it’s always better to be original. People want authenticity every step of the way.
Recourse is On the Way
Since many people are using AI in various ways, companies that pay professional writers are starting to use tools that identify whether the content was original or written with AI. While using AI to gather information may help save time, using AI-generated content becomes problematic.
Companies like Google and professional writing platforms all have concerns about writers pretending to write original content. This means there will be a bigger spotlight on content, how it’s written, and whether you can tell the difference.
Because AI is so popular, there are fail-safes in place to curtail people from using it for the wrong purposes. Some platforms have AI content detectors in place to identify whether the content is original or not. For marketers writing press releases, blogs, website content, or other real-time informative documents, it not only causes problems with SEO but may not have accurate information.
What happens if the checker finds the content is not authentic? It could create lawsuits, suppress traffic, or cause individuals to lose their jobs.
TheBestReputation can help solve those problems, helping deliver the highest quality in online reputation management, from removing content to using real writers that understand the developmental process of writing.
TBR works with corporations, public figures, small and mid-sized businesses, and microbusinesses, providing the best of both worlds. Their team understands the problems using AI for original content can create, placing value on real writers to promote real issues.
Focusing on the future requires some adaptation in using AI, but it should never be a replacement for real writing. For more, contact the TBR team today.
