Calls to mind Truman Capote's quip (about a human writer, Jack Kerouac): "That's not writing, that's typing."
Please mark your "content" as AI generated. That seems the least "content producers" can do, in an ethical sense, so readers don't confuse generated "content" with actual writing.

What is the point? A blog should be your writing, or its just more spam. The net has plenty of filler.
So, what do you use for content writing and what is your workflow? Easy clicks:

So, I've been looking around for better AI writing tools for my content. I don't have the budget right now to hire full on writers (if you have recommendations, let me know).
I tried Jasper AI[1] and I gotta say, it's pretty solid for cranking out long-form content swiftly. It listens to my prompts nicely and helps in drafting blog posts and stuff.
I was one of the first people to buy Copy.ai[2], a good place if you're looking to generate marketing copies for ads, emails, and whatnot, quite user-friendly for short-form content. But it was based off GPT-3 I believe, so quite old.
I also tried Reword, it's really good, the trial is nice, it works well, but then they hit you with a $2000+ for writing articles in bulk. What the hell? Who can afford that? haha. I'm not paying that for their AI-quality. Just insanely overpriced.
So I just settled to writing my own content via Perplexity AI[3], dropping it into ChatGPT Plus to refine it. Adding images via MidJourney. Doing a lot of correcting manually by adding bold text, rewriting to lists, removing all the bullshit it writes. It takes 4-6 hours for a good blog post to get it to a high quality. But it works so well!
One tool, I saw mentioned on Twitter was WrittenLabs[4]. It writes full blog posts (you can input your OpenAI API key) based on the keywords you input. For example I entered "mercedes benz w111" and then 4-5 variations and so on.
I used it to write a guest post for a Mercedes blog[5] for a client [6], I saw their guest post prices on a marketplace, but I looked up the guy's phone number, cold called him in Romania, negotiated a price via WhatsApp and he published it on the front page for 25% of the price + posted it on his Facebook page of 30k members haha.
So any tools you can recommended? What is your workflow? Do you think it's worth it to find a tool or should I just hire a content team?
