Create a Blog Using AI
Blogging in the mundane traditional sense is so 2010s. It’s as old school as writing a lengthy letter with quill and ink. Welcome to 2021, where Artificial Intelligence, or Blog Using AI, my good friend, is the new go-to for creating smacking blogs. I’ve seen it, experienced it; it’s different, it’s radical. But it’s damn effective!
Three Important Factors for Writing Content
Let’s talk about some factors first. Much like the sacred trilogy of rock, paper, and scissors that rule our childhood games, there are Yoda’s three principles underlying the creation of content — Perplexity, Burstiness, and Predictability. Don’t be perplexed by the terminology just yet – let’s break these down and see how they can help us write blog content using AI.
Offer Unexpected Insights & Avoid Clichés
OK, imagine a soup. And in that soup, you’ve got your regular ingredients: onions, carrots, peas – y’know, the usual. But then you add in an unexpected ingredient. Maybe it’s a dash of hot sauce or a spoonful of peanut butter. It doesn’t matter what it is, the point is it’s unexpected.
Perplexity in AI blogging is similar: it’s that unexpected insight that makes your readers’ eyebrows shoot up, a little ‘aha!’ moment. Clichés, on the other hand, are like adding water to your soup. Sure, it’s necessary, but too much of it drowns out everything else. With AI, we can sift through internet-size databases to identify unique insights and avoid watering down our blog with overused phrases.
Balance Language Use & Avoid Repeated Phrases
Burstiness, a word that sounds like it should be reserved for describing children’s birthday parties or popping bubble wrap, is equally important. Too many repeated phrases are like wearing the same outfit every day. You wouldn’t want to be seen in the same shirt and jeans all the time, right?
AI helps us maintain that balance. It’s wired to ensure we’re not rehashing the same phrases over and over again, like a broken vinyl record stuck in a groove. That way, our blogs would always feel fresh, crisp, and invigorating, like stepping into the world after a refreshing spring shower.
For Creativity, Embrace Novelty; For Information, Uphold Clarity & Convention
The final piece of our trilogy is predictability. Now, I know what you’re thinking – isn’t predictability boring? Isn’t that what we’re trying to avoid? Not quite. Here’s the deal – we want to defy predictability when it comes to creativity (more hot sauce in the soup, anybody?), but uphold it when it comes to information.
This needs to be communicated clearly – like a traffic signal. You don’t want creative traffic signals (imagine a yellow light randomly blinking like it’s at a disco. Fun? Yes. Safe? Absolutely not). AI can help us achieve this balance between conventional ‘traffic-light’-style clarity and out-of-the-box creativity.
Guidelines for Human-Like, Original Content Writing with AI
All right, now that we’ve got our magical trio figured out, here are some practical tips to make your AI-written blog more human-like. Artificial Intelligence is smart, but it’s our job to add that quintessential human touch, a dash of unpredictability, a sprinkle of personality, and a large heap of creativity.
Introduce Subjective Opinions & Anecdotes
Sometimes I wonder if my personal opinions about pineapple on pizza matter. They do! The AI system will never fully grasp the deep, profound, and eternal love/hate relationship humans have with their food, but it can surely incorporate these personalized elements in a blog. Just imagine an AI bringing out the age-old debate of pineapple on pizza in an insightful blog post about trends in eating habits!
Keep Phrasing & Sentence Structures Diverse
Those familiar with AI-generated content know it can sometimes have the personality of a drying paint wall. Kinda monotonous, you know? Part of the task is to ensure your AI-generated content doesn’t underwhelm readers with robotic repetition. Break patterns. Keep things zesty and fresh!
Stir the Pot of Embeddings
Remember how I warned you against serving a bland soup? Embeddings is your spice rack. It helps you introduce variety, lift off monotony, and add depth to your content. Too much basil? Add some thyme. Tired of ‘innovative’? Here’s ‘ground-breaking’. AI can sift through thesaurus-sized data sets quicker than you can say ‘AI’.
Pour in Some Wit, Metaphors & Analogies
Feel free to inject some sass, a pinch of wit, a smattering of quirky metaphors, and a dash of peculiar analogies in your blogs. Why say ‘The night sky was dotted with stars’ when you can say, ‘The night sky wore its diamond-studded black velvet cape’?
Occasional Colloquialisms & Informalities Aren’t a Crime
Last time I checked, blogging was about making real connections. And real connections stem from real voices, even if they err by the Queen’s English standards. So let AI err humanly in an intelligent way, with language people actually relate to. Like saying, “That joke was so bad, even my knock-knock jokes laughed!”
Don’t Just Think Outside the Box, Recreate the Box!
AI might surprise you with ideas you’d never think of. Like putting a mini-fridge in a bathroom. Odd? Yes. Practical? Absolutely! Break away from convention, be imaginative, and let AI push your limits.
Sound Like a Friend, Not an AI
No one wants to read a blog that sounds like it’s been written by a machine. So, don’t let AI give everything a robot sheen. Let it take a note or two from your day-to-day conversations, your chit-chats, and your musings with friends over coffee.
AI Blogging — Its Potential, Your Creativity
AI may seem like an emotionless metallic being straight out of a futuristic dystopian novel, but remember that it’s only as good as the human harnessing it. AI can write blogs. But the portrait was crafted, the drama unfolded, and the humor curled out — that’s all you!
The language of blogs is the language of the people, and it’s our job to keep it that way, even when the writing is artificial. So let your AI tools weave the fabric of your blog, but remember to color it with your own human brilliance. Happy blogging, folks!
