I have clients that ask me to edit AI but I do not and don’t intend to ever generate AI and let that be the end product. I also have clients that still want human writing.
I find that the final product of AI- no matter how many times you prompt it- just doesn’t live up to my own standards, and it takes a lot of time to edit it for a specific client, add internal and external links, place keywords in a way that aren’t awkward, etc.
I like AI assistance ( my favorite is NeuronWriter- similar to SurferSEO) but I don’t rely solely on it.
I think both of you are touching on the real issue here - it’s not that AI is “bad”, it’s that most people are using it the wrong way. When AI is treated as a final writer, of course it falls short, the content feels generic, and you end up spending just as much time editing as you would writing from scratch. I’ve run into the same thing where adding links, adjusting structure, and making everything feel natural takes longer than expected. What actually changed things for me was shifting from using AI as a tool for writing to using it as a system for SEO execution. Instead of jumping between keyword tools, docs, editors, and CMS, the whole flow needs to be connected from the beginning - from keyword to structure to internal linking to final page. That’s the gap I kept seeing over and over again, so I started building something around that idea with progseo.dev. It’s not about replacing human writing or forcing AI content, it’s about removing the chaos and making the output consistent and actually useful.
Generally explored the idea of this. but certainly haven't done it yet. Even if it works, I feel a little queasy about it. Not sure it's something I'd recommend to clients just yet.
