GPWA Times Magazine - Issue 62 - July 2025

As AI continues to weave itself deeper into the fabric of content creation, questions around its role in SEO have taken center stage — especially among iGaming affiliates. In a GPWA forum thread, “WebWizard” kicked off a lively discussion by asking a straightforward, but important, question: Is it safe to use AI for creating content briefs, or is Google simply turning a blind eye ... for now? The community quickly jumped in with a wide range of perspectives. Some emphasized that it’s not about the tools you use but how you use them, reminding everyone that matching user intent and adding a human touch remain critical. Others, however, warned against leaning too heavily on AI shortcuts, especially as search engines sharpen their ability to spot cookie-cutter content. The thread evolved into a thoughtful exchange about best practices, risks, and the evolving standards for AI-generated content. Whether using AI to brainstorm briefs or even draft full articles, members largely agreed: quality, authenticity, and a little bit of human magic are still the keys to success.
