Honestly, the bigger ranking factors are E-E-A-T signals and backlinks, not whether a human or AI wrote the copy. Of course, you need to check it and read it by yourself before you publish it. “ Reply With Quote #12 mrksgrnt 17 March 2026, 9:46 a.m. Private Member AI is just a tool - it’s all about how you use it. One-prompt articles are an instant giveaway. What actually works: detailed prompts with clear instructions, verified facts fed into the prompt, and proper structure defined upfront. Put in the work on the prompt side, and the output is solid. “ Reply With Quote #13 Slot777 23 March 2026, 8:31 p.m. Public Member In the end, Google is not against the use of AI as long as the content is reliable and kind of unique. Citing other articles should give extra credibility. “ Reply With Quote #14 QuantumNomad 24 March 2026, 4:52 a.m. Public Member I treat AI-generated content pretty much the same way I treat auto-generated backlinks. You might get a short-term boost, but long-term it usually doesn’t hold up. If an article is properly edited, improved, and genuinely useful to the reader, it stops being “AI content” for me and becomes author-driven content. Those are the pieces that actually perform for me - they get picked up in Google’s AI results, show up in ChatGPT/Perplexity citations, or at least drive traffic. #15 Emiliana Rostowicz 24 March 2026, 7:47 a.m. Private Member Google has made it pretty clear that they care more about the value of the content than how it was made. In my experience, if the AI text is actually helpful and fact-checked, it ranks okay. But if you just dump raw AI spam on a site, you’re asking for trouble during the next big core update. End of Thread I don’t see it as sites “getting away with it.” I see it more as the tools getting better, the outputs becoming more refined, and users understanding that it’s not about writing a prompt, copying the answer, and publishing it as-is. Pure AI articles (even when I try to craft solid prompts to make them well-structured and comprehensive) tend to drop out of the Google index over time. And even if they stay indexed, Google often just doesn’t surface them in search results - so I don’t see much real value there. So my view hasn’t really changed now - if you want to build a high-quality project, you still can’t avoid manual work. “ Reply With Quote GPWAtimes.org 17
