The use and influence of AI—Artificial Intelligence—is
all around us. It’s in our GPS, our music streaming, our online shopping, our
apps, our texts (thank you, autocorrect), and so on. It’s used by banks, the
military, in education, by retailers, healthcare, the list goes on and on. With
the influence of AI in our everyday lives, it’s not surprising that it also
might influence many of our livelihoods—and probably has already for many of
us. On this episode of Editing with Kate, Kate describes her experience with
OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Bard, Grammarly, and Wordtune. Do
you think these technologies are going to change the lives of students,
writers, and editors? Let us know in this space.
Grammarly is planning to release a tool called GrammarlyGo. You

What are the pros and
cons for using AI to write and edit blogs?
- Efficiency:
Using AI to write and edit blogs can save a significant amount of time
and effort. The AI can quickly generate and revise content, which would
have taken a human writer much longer.
- Consistency:
AI can produce consistent content in terms of tone, style, and
formatting. This can help maintain brand identity and voice across
multiple blog posts.
- Speed:
AI can generate content much faster than human writers, which can be
beneficial in situations where speed is a priority, such as breaking
news or trending topics.
- Accuracy:
AI can be programmed to follow specific guidelines and rules, ensuring
that the content is accurate, factually correct, and free from errors.
- Lack
of creativity: AI writing may lack the creativity and originality of
human writing. AI-generated content may be formulaic and lack the nuance
and complexity of human language.
- Limited
scope: AI may have difficulty understanding and writing about topics
that are abstract, complex, or nuanced. This can limit the range of
topics that AI can cover in blogs.
- Limited
context: AI may have difficulty understanding the broader context of a
topic or understanding the tone and style of a particular publication or
audience.
- Cost:
The cost of developing and maintaining an AI system for writing and
editing blogs can be high, especially for small businesses or
individuals.

Ultimately, the decision
of whether or not to use AI to write blogs is up to you. If you are looking
for a way to save time and produce high-quality content, then AI may be a
good option for you. However, if you are looking for content that is truly
unique and original, then you may want to consider hiring a human writer.
Here are some additional
things to consider when using AI to write blogs:
- Make sure that you are using
a reputable AI writing tool. There are many AI writing tools available,
but not all of them are created equal. Do some research to find a tool
that has a good reputation and that produces high-quality content.

your blog. What do you want to achieve with your blog? Are you trying to
inform, entertain, or persuade your readers? Once you know your goals,
you can choose an AI writing tool that is best suited for those goals.
- Be prepared to edit and
proofread the content that AI generates. AI writing tools can be very
helpful, but they are not perfect. You will still need to edit and
proofread the content to make sure that it is free of errors and that it
meets your standards.
- Be aware of the potential for
plagiarism. AI writing tools can sometimes generate content that is
plagiarized from other sources. Be sure to check the content that AI
generates for plagiarism before you publish it.
Overall, AI can be a
valuable tool for bloggers, but it is important to use it wisely. By
following the tips above, you can use AI to write high-quality content that
will help you achieve your blogging goals.
