Delegating Article Writing to AI
When it comes to writing AI articles, many people dive in headfirst. They go to ChatGPT and start by inputting a simple prompt like, “Write me an outline on {keyword X or topic X}.”
Then they proceed to write the entire article or break it down into sections. Some advanced users include detailed instructions to achieve their desired outcome. However, many individuals and businesses still struggle to use AI effectively and end up either not using it at all or being unsatisfied with the results.
The truth is that delegating tasks to AI isn’t that different from delegating tasks to humans. It doesn’t matter whether you outsource your content to an AI writer or a human content writer. While the capabilities and knowledge of AI and humans may differ, the quality of the outcome often depends on the clarity and precision of the task description. The more detailed and accurate your instructions, the higher the chances of obtaining satisfying content.
One thing that everyone needs to understand first is that GPT, like most other current AI models, is a Large Language Model (LLM). And that’s the key to understanding most AI models: they are language models, not knowledge models. So, if you want the best result, then you should feed your AI writing tool with the knowledge that you want to focus on. Otherwise, you are just counting on luck that you’ll get exactly the answer you want. Developers have had a certain rule for years: “Garbage in, garbage out.” Now we have to all learn the same thing when using AI.
With that in mind, it’s essential to have a systematic approach that combines human expertise with AI capabilities to produce high-quality content. This is where the CyborgMethod™ comes into play.
What is CyborgMethod™?

Let’s jump into the details.
Before using AI writing
Step 1: Begin with a Comprehensive Content Brief
No matter how advanced AI technology becomes, it’s crucial first to establish a clear understanding of your content requirements and objectives. AI is not a magic wand that can read your mind or predict search engine algorithms. To create blog posts that ranks, you must first do your homework.
No matter who is writing it, an AI tool or a human, a comprehensive content brief is essential for producing quality content. Based on conversations with over 300 Marketing experts, we know this step takes 1-3 hours if done manually, depending on how in-depth you want to go. Keep in mind that you can automate certain steps and speed them up using tools like SEOwind to reduce the time it takes to as little as 5-15 minutes.
Let’s review the crucial tasks that prepare you to write high-quality content with an AI partner.
1. Define the intent and the goal
You can’t reach a goal you don’t set. Period.
Why should you do it?
Whenever you’re creating any piece of content, you need to know who you are writing it for and why it should be created in the first place. Too often marketers and copywriters create content just to cover a weekly publication quota and then wonder why they don’t see the desired results.
How to do it?
Begin by establishing clear objectives for your AI-generated content. Ask yourself:
- Who is your audience? For whom exactly are you writing this?
- What do you want to achieve with this article? Are you planning to amuse, educate, persuade, or evoke emotions?
Understanding your goals will help you craft more effective prompts for AI-generated content.
2. Conduct keyword research
Keyword research is not just an SEO tactic. It’s not about finding 1-3 keywords and that’s it. You have to learn what kind of language is used when speaking about your chosen topic. This means identifying 20-30 keywords, though ideally, you’d find even more. The best articles rank for as many as 100 or more keywords. By planning your targets from the start, you’re increasing your chances of getting more organic traffic.
IMPORTANT: Keep in mind that we’re against keyword stuffing. When you have a clear list of keywords that your customers are using it’s just easier to speak their language. Using the right keywords should come more naturally.
Why should you do it?
Analyzing keywords and including them in your article or blog post is essential for several reasons. It helps you:
- Understand search intent and learn what kind of topics answer the user queries
- Grasp and understand the language used by your prospective customers, comprehend how they identify their requirements, and label items
- Discover valuable subject matter insights to write about – which should be derived from people’s searches – rather than speculating or presuming you possess the optimal knowledge.
How to do it?
Open up a document file so you can write everything down. Don’t assume that you can memorize everything!
Start with a main keyword and type it into Google. Browse through the top Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). Investigate what keywords they rank for using SEO tools that can provide you with such data. Look at:
- How highly they rank for these keywords. If they are in the top 30 positions, it means that the search engine finds this content relevant
- The keyword search volume, which tells you how many times per month, on average, a certain keyword is searched for in a specific location
- Keyword difficulty, a metric used to determine how difficult it is to rank for a keyword.
This will help you decide which keywords to choose.
Useful tools
- SEOwind: users get the keywords for the top 10 SERPs ranking within the first 30 positions and with search volume above 10
- Paid keyword research tools: Semrush or Ahrefs
- Free keyword research tools: Google Keyword Planner, Ubbersuggest, Answer The Public, or Keywords Everywhere
Tips for identifying keywords
- To find the right keywords, you have to check the search volume. If you are starting to build content, it might be worth looking into more specific mid or bottom-funnel keywords with lower search volume (10-300) rather than general, juicy keywords that bring along more competition.
- Keep in mind the keyword difficulty. Again, if you are just starting your content marketing adventure, then it’s better to pick keywords with low (20-30) to medium (30-45) keyword difficulty.

Keyword clustering
Use AI to help you with keyword clustering. Group related keywords together to create more focused and relevant content. Clustered keywords are much easier to use when you write blog articles, as they are grouped by similarity and can often be used interchangeably or somewhere close to each other.
To do so, just go to ChatGPT and use the following prompt:
Use the following list of keywords and group them together to create content clusters: [list of keywords]

3. Create a detailed blog outline based on SERPs and SEO data
It’s time for the most crucial step, which has the biggest impact on the article you’re using AI to write. To develop high-quality content that outranks your competition, start by conducting a thorough analysis of the best-performing SERPs. This process helps you understand what Google considers valuable content for a particular search query and allows you to build on that foundation to create an even more engaging piece.
Why should you do it?
Companies on the first page of Google are there for a reason: they nailed the search intent.
By examining the content structure, topics, and questions of top-ranked pages, you can create an outline that similarly engages your audience.
Your goal is to deliver more value to the reader by making your article more comprehensive, practical, or visually appealing. Utilize the topics addressed by the top pages as building blocks. Carefully select the ones that align with your objectives and create content superior to each individual SERP!
IMPORTANT: We all would love to be different and not follow in the footsteps of what already ranks. But the search intent of a keyword is specific, and if you don’t push the right buttons, 9 out of 10 times you won’t manage to rank among the best articles. Changing Google’s mind about the search intent is hard and takes time. In our experience, nailing search intent and putting some extra value on the top proves more effective than trying to be different at all costs.
How to do it?
Use the doc file in which you’ve already gathered your keywords. Begin by typing in your target keyword and opening each SERP in a new tab, after which you’ll have 8-10 pages opened. Analyze the headings and subheadings of your competitors’ pages while looking for similarities, standout topics, and potential areas for improvement. Use this information to create a content outline in the doc file.
Useful tools
SERP analyzers and SEO content brief generators can greatly assist with this process. SEOwind, for example, offers comprehensive competitive landscape analysis by extracting all competitor outlines and putting them next to each other. This makes it easy to draw conclusions and create data-based briefs with a single click, especially when creating content at scale. To do so, SEOwind uses huge amounts of data gathered from SERPs and competitors to feed the AI model. As a result, it’s able to draw conclusions from and write a comprehensive brief that nails the search intent.
IMPORTANT
Don’t use ChatGPT to write an outline, as it doesn’t have any knowledge of SERPs and search intent if you don’t feed that information. Because it’s a language model and not a knowledge model, the tool will create a topically relevant outline, but its quality will be no better than guesswork, even if it might look logical at first glance. To achieve the best results, use AI-generated outlines based on SERP analysis.

4. Answer Frequently Asked Questions
To stand out from the competition, go beyond what they’ve written and provide additional value to your readers by addressing their questions, challenges, and needs.
Why should you do it?
By diving deeper into user questions and issues, you can make your content more unique and valuable. This ultimately leads to higher engagement and better SERP rankings.
How to do it?
Find user questions by exploring resources such as:
- People Also Ask by Google, which lists additional questions related to a user’s query
- Related Searches in Google, which suggests alternative but related keywords
- Quora
- Any other forum or community relevant to your niche.
Another incredible source of questions is to speak with your customers. Address their interests based on the insights you gain during those calls and meetings.
Tips
The trick here is to search Quora and Reddit using Google. In our experience, Google is much better at finding relevant topics. To do that, just go to Google and type in ‘site:quora.com {keyword}’ or ‘site:reddit.com {keyword}’. The first part of the query (site:reddit.com) will limit Google’s search to a specific domain. By adding your keyword, Google focuses on finding the topics related to what you’re looking for.
Useful tools
- SEOwind – In addition to analyzing SEO data, SEOwind collects questions from People Also Ask, Quora, and Reddit, making it easy to gather all relevant information in one place.
- Ahrefs Keyword Generator – Discover question keywords, keyword difficulty, and search volume.

Write articles using AI
Step 2: Craft your AI Writing Prompts for ChatGPT and GPT4
Once you have all the necessary data defined, it’s time to harness the power of AI to benefit your writing. Think of AI as your personal content writer and prompts as the guidelines that help it deliver the results you desire.
Best practices – Prompts for AI Article Writing
Crafting the perfect AI prompt can be a game-changer in your quest to write impactful articles using GPT-based tools. With the right approach, you can coax the solution into generating long-form content that is both engaging and informative.
Let’s discuss some of the best practices that can help you master the art of creating effective prompts for AI blog writer.
1. Provide context for AI content generator
Start by explaining the purpose behind your content and the perspective you want to represent. Make sure to consider the following points:
- Who is the person behind the article?
- How are they communicating?
- What is their perspective and point of view?
- Consider using expressions like “Act as…”
- Add product or service information. This helps the AI understand the industry you’re coming from by providing relevant details.
2. Describe the task
Be as detailed as possible when outlining the task. Include information such as:
- Content goal
- Target audience
- Detailed SEO outline
- Keywords to target
- Questions to answer.
3. Provide instructions
Below you can find some directions regarding instructions to include:
- Clarify the language: Include the directions, tone of voice, and level of expertise you want the AI to use in the content.
- Specify the structure: Offer hints regarding the structure of the article. Should it include ordered or unordered lists? What should the depth of headings be? This information will help the AI generate a well-organized article.
- Set the desired length: Indicate the preferred length for your article, whether it’s a short blog post, a medium-length article, or a lengthy, in-depth piece. Providing this information will help the AI generate content that aligns with your expectations.
- Use examples: Providing examples or sample phrases in your prompt can help guide the AI’s writing style and give it a clearer understanding of the tone and language you’re looking for.
- Specify the format: Indicate whether you want the content to be a how-to guide, an opinion piece, a listicle, or any other specific format. This will help the AI tailor its writing style to match your requirements.
- Incorporate storytelling elements: Encourage the AI to use storytelling techniques, such as anecdotes or case studies, to make your content more relatable and engaging. Provide some guidance on the type of story or narrative you’d like to see in the article.
IMPORTANT:
- Pay attention to the language you use when writing your prompt. Be specific and use action words. Avoid any ambiguity, as it can lead to less-than-ideal results.
- Remember, the quality of AI-generated content relies heavily on the input data used to create it. The better the prompt, the higher the quality of the content you’ll receive. If your request is vague or lacks context, expect random and less relevant responses.
- This is just the beginning. Your prompt should be evolving and updated. If you don’t like certain expressions the AI is using, instruct it explicitly not to use them. If you would like to see more of something, metaphors, and anecdotes, mention it.
- Request revisions or iterations. Don’t be afraid to ask the AI to revise or iterate on its output. You can provide additional guidance, clarify your expectations, or request that certain sections be expanded or reworked. This will help you fine-tune the content until it fulfills your expectations.
Sample AI prompt for article writing
Let’s say you’re an owner of an online and offline garden store and you want to write an in-depth, long-form article on how to grow blueberries. Here, we’ll walk through a sample prompt.
Context
You’re a passionate and experienced gardener who is running an online and offline garden store. You know gardening inside and out as you’ve been in the field for over 20 years. In your store, you have garden plants, fruit trees, vegetables, house plants, and garden supplies. You love sharing your knowledge on how to take care of plants so that they have optimal conditions for growth. You have an exceptional vocabulary in this field and you love writing about it.
Task
Your task is to write a guide with suggestions for how to grow blueberries. The guide should have at least 2500 words. The goal of this guide is to educate people on how to grow and take care of blueberries so that they grow a lot of sweet fruits.
The guide should have the following outline:

Instruction
Your writing style is informative, friendly, and engaging while incorporating real-life examples. I want you to write in the same way you would write to a friend, using a conversational tone.
Write the article.Voilà. You’re ready to have your article written.
Important: If you’re using ChatGPT for writing content, be aware that it can stop producing content after 500 words and will cut off mid-sentence. If it happens, check where it stopped and continue from the heading it stopped at.
The other option is to just write “continue where you stopped,” but this is less predictive.
Adopting Your Brand Voice to AI Content
Let’s talk about how you can make your AI content unique with style and tone of voice. One of the
common issues people encounter with AI is that it sometimes lacks that human touch. Ever read
something that sounds a little off? Not quite like your brand is communicating? That’s what I’m
talking about.
Why is it important?
Well, each brand speaks uniquely, and that’s how they connect with their audience
effectively and consistently. It’s like preparing a consistent cup of coffee every time. People
get used to it, they love it, and that’s what brings them back. And for each type of content,
you might need a specific tone. For example, posts meant to be informative or educational
might need a more authoritative tone.
In contrast, more personal or emotional topics need a more empathetic or emotional tone.
The challenge is how to instill this in AI-based content.
The good news is that you do have some solutions. You have two major ways to make AI
write more like you: using specific prompts or providing solid examples. Let me go over them
in detail.
Option #1 Define Your Writing Style and Tone of Voice
The first option you have is to define your writing style and tone of voice clearly. ChatGPT has
been designed to accommodate a range of conversational styles by offering different voice and
tone options. Each option serves its unique purpose and can help you nail the vibe you want in
your communication.
Sample Writing Styles
Let’s look at some examples of writing styles:
- Professional: Opinions backed with reasons and explanations.
- Conversational: Speak as you would to a friend, with a warm and familiar touch.
- Humorous: Light-hearted and funny, sure to leave your audience chuckling.
- Empathetic: Understanding and considerate, particularly suitable for sensitive topics.
- Simple: Straightforward, using easy-to-understand language.
- Academic: Detailed and analytical, filled with plenty of research.
- Creative: Out of the box and original, inspiring thought and imagination.
Sample Tone of Voice
Now, let’s talk about the tone of voice. It’s all about striking the right chord with your audience. You could go for:
- Authoritative: Make statements that show you know what you’re talking about.
- Calming: Soothe your readers’ worries.
- Compelling: Draw your readers in.
- Curious: Spark intrigue and interest.
- Engaging: Keep your readers hooked.
- Excited: Show your enthusiasm.
- Formal: Avoid slang and keep things strictly professional.
- Friendly: Make your readers feel at home.
- Funny: Crack a joke or two.
- Informative: Share useful information.
- Inspirational: Motivate your readers.
- Witty: Use intelligent humor.
- Optimistic: Stay positive and hopeful.
- Worried: Express concern or urgency.
For a bit of a twist, you can also try writing as:
- A character from a book
- Like a celebrity
- As a certain author
Sample prompts to use
Now here are a few examples of the kind of writing prompts you can use:
Your writing style is conversational and persuasive. Use logical arguments and stats, keep things clear and concise but dial down on the humor.
Your writing style is explanatory, breaking down complex ideas and subjects into simple terms while incorporating examples and visual aids to illustrate the points made.
Your writing style is informative, objectively presenting facts and data while incorporating clear headings, bullet points, and concise language.
Your writing style is informative, friendly, and engaging, incorporating humor and real-life examples to brighten things up.Option 2: Let ChatGPT define your Writing Style
Sometimes, putting into words the exact tone and writing style you’re aiming for can be tricky. There’s a workaround.
You can feed ChatGPT with the right prompt succeeded by a sample of your writing. Then, watch the magic happen. GPT technology will assess all aspects of your content, data, and language to develop a unique voice style. The best part? It’s tailored for your audience and aligns perfectly with your brand.
Here’s a sample prompt for you to use:
Sample prompt to use – Prompt no 1
Based on the tone and writing style in the seed text, analyze and describe the style, voice, and tone of writing. We will use this input when providing instructions to AI or humans.
Beneath this, type “SEED TEXT” and then enter your example.Outcome:
In the prompt, we used our article AI Article Writing with ChatGPT – Cyborg Method [eBook with tested prompts].
This is the outcome that we got from ChatGPT:
The writing style in the provided seed text can be classified as authoritative, informative, and engaging. The author uses a direct and conversational tone to impart firm and reliable knowledge. The tone evokes a sense of intrigue and curiosity, prompting the reader to want to learn more about the subject. The author uses persuasive language to capture the reader’s attention and maintain their interest.
The text is very organized and structured, making the author’s points easy to follow and understand. The writing often adopts a problem-solution style, addressing potential concerns and offering solutions. The author utilizes buzzwords and jargon relevant to the subject matter, extending credibility.
The author’s voice in the text is friendly, inviting, and reassuring, fostering a rapport with the reader. It blends a professional tone with colloquial language to make the content more digestible. Using emoji, bullet points, and stylized text (bold, italic) makes the content visually interesting and easy to navigate.
Commands and question forms are employed throughout the text, making it a more interactive experience for the reader. Analogies and metaphors (“Cyborg Method”) are used to truly cement the presented concepts’ understanding. Instructions are clear and concise, underscoring the informative nature of the writing style.
The author uses a persuasive tone to prompt the reader to consider using AI article writing, leading them through the provided ebook and webinar. The text is motivating and optimistic, emphasizing the suggested method’s benefits.
The writer also employs personal pronouns such as “you” and “we” to create a personalized experience, suggesting that the reader is included in a conversation rather than just a passive receiver of information. There are also instances of light humor to keep the content from being too heavy or overly technical.
Overall, this text’s style, voice, and tone demonstrate an engaging, authoritative, and persuasive style of writing that aims to inform and motivate the reader in a friendly and direct manner. Not bad, right?
Sample prompt to use – Prompt no 2
Analyze the text below for style, voice, and tone. Then, using natural language processing (NLP) create a prompt to write a new article in the same style, voice, and tone.Below the prompt, paste your writing.
Outcome:
Again, we used the prompt in our article AI Article Writing with ChatGPT – Cyborg Method [eBook with tested prompts]. This is the outcome that we got from ChatGPT:
Style: The text uses an instructive, persuasive and informative style. It uses a conversational tone with some technical jargon related to AI and SEO. The structure is detailed, explaining different steps and procedures to follow.
Voice: The voice is authoritative, knowledgeable, and confident, demonstrating a high level of expertise in AI content writing.
Tone: The tone is optimistic and encouraging, clearly highlighting the benefits of AI-powered article writing. The tone is consistently formal yet conversational.
That’s how you teach an AI to write more like humans, to echo your brand, and to stay consistent. Remember, the key is in the style and tone you choose.
After AI content is created
Step 3: Give it a Human Touch
Your job is not done yet. If you want to have something really amazing, then you’ll need to add the human touch.
We like to treat AI content as a strong foundation on top of which you should add extra value.
Below you can find our approach to giving AI-written content a human touch.
1. Review and revise AI content
Read through the content generated by the AI. Algorithms can make mistakes and generate irrelevant content, so it’s important to:
- Adjust expressions that don’t fit your style
- Remove mentions of competitors or market leaders unless necessary
- Update outdated information
- Restructure the content if needed.
This will ensure that the AI-generated content aligns with your brand and intended message.
2. Add your expertise and personal touch
You are a true expert in your field. To make the content exceptional, add your unique know-how, expertise, and real-life examples. This personal touch will not only make the content more engaging but will also help establish your audience’s credibility.
3. Make sure to fact-check
The AI-generated content might contain quotes, links, or data that need verification. Always thoroughly fact-check AI-written content to ensure the accuracy of the information provided. This is crucial to maintain your audience’s trust and your reputation as a reliable source of information. On average, GPT4 has about a 50-70% accuracy rate, so it’s essential to double-check the facts.
4. Optimize for SEO
AI is not an SEO expert, so it’s crucial to optimize the content for search engines. Use content optimization tools to make your content rank higher in search results. Incorporate relevant keywords and topics to ensure your content offers valuable information to your target audience. This might involve adding more paragraphs or headings to cover additional perspectives that you hadn’t initially considered.
5. Proofread to check grammar and sentence length
AI tools sometimes create longer and more complex sentences, which may not always be suitable for your audience. It’s essential to proofread the content, focusing on grammar and sentence length. Provide instructions to the AI writing tool regarding sentence structure, but be prepared to make adjustments manually if the AI doesn’t quite get it quite right.
6. Use internal linking
If you have relevant content on your website that complements the AI-generated piece, add internal links within the content. This helps keep readers engaged and encourages them to explore more of your website, ultimately improving your site’s overall SEO performance.
7. Add visuals
Incorporating visuals into your content helps to better present your points and keeps your audience engaged. Use relevant images, infographics, charts, or videos to break up large blocks of text and enhance the overall user experience. Visuals can also help to clarify complex ideas, making the content more accessible to a wider range of readers.
By following these steps and adding a human touch to your AI content, you can create truly exceptional pieces that resonate with your audience and effectively convey your message. Always remember that AI is a tool meant to assist you, but it’s your expertise and personal touch that will make the final product stand out.

I’ll admit that in the beginning, I was against AI writing tools. But then Google said AI content would be allowed in its results. The only thing that you have to remember is that, whether it is human- or AI-written, your content has to be helpful.
So I said to myself, game on Google! Following their rules, we focused on researching the topic to make our articles as comprehensive and helpful as possible. I treat AI as a better version of a pen, and I don’t want to be the one that insists on using square wheels when everyone else can see how well round ones do the job.
Can AI articles be so good that I can publish them right away?
Tom: Some people already believe in the quality of AI-generated content and publish blog posts without any modifications. These posts often perform well in terms of search engine rankings. However, I recommend taking the following steps:
- Conduct in-depth research and craft detailed, content-specific prompts if you’re using AI platforms like ChatGPT or GPT-4.
- Utilize tools like SEOwind that create AI articles based on extensive SERP and SEO research.
Regardless of your chosen approach, I would still advise adopting the CyborgMethod™, where AI produces the bulk of the article (70-80%) and a human writer adds extra value (20-30%).
Is the CyborgMethod™ worth the effort?
Tom: Absolutely! Combining AI-generated content with human input is definitely worth the effort for several reasons:
- Speed: In our experience, creating content using the CyborgMethod™ is at least 5-8 times faster, while maintaining or often improving the quality of the output.
- Quality and coherence: While AI can produce well-structured and informative content, human intervention ensures that the final output is coherent, contextually accurate, and tailored to your target audience.
- Creativity and personal touch: Human writers can add unique insights, anecdotes, and a personal touch to the AI-generated content, making it more engaging and relatable to readers.
- SEO optimization: Although AI-generated content can incorporate keywords and follow basic SEO guidelines, human writers can fine-tune the content to further optimize it for search engine rankings.
- Resource efficiency: The CyborgMethod™ allows writers to focus on enhancing the most critical aspects of the content, saving resources that can be allocated to other tasks.
- Adaptability: AI technology is continually advancing, and the CyborgMethod™ enables businesses to stay ahead of the curve by leveraging the latest advancements while retaining the human touch that readers appreciate.
The CyborgMethod™ is pretty much always worth the effort, as it strikes the perfect balance between leveraging AI’s efficiency and maintaining human creativity and expertise, resulting in high-quality, engaging, and well-optimized content that appeals to both readers and search engines.
Will AI article writers replace human writers?
Tom: In my honest opinion, no. Instead, it will enable them to focus on aspects that truly matter, helping them create exceptional content 5-8 times faster. Who wouldn’t love that?
Why should I use paid AI writing tools if ChatGPT offers support for free?
Tom: If AI content generator doesn’t conduct any research or take SERP or SEO data specific to your topic into account, you may be better off using ChatGPT independently.
Still, to do that research thoroughly, you will need either to spend a lot of time or use SEO tools.
However, if a tool performs competitive content and outline analysis, does keyword research, develops a structure, and then creates articles based on those factors – like SEOwind – it’s worth considering. By utilizing AI writing tools that incorporate thorough research and SEO best practices, you can produce engaging and expert-oriented content more efficiently.
What are common mistakes to avoid when using AI writers?
Mistake 1: Over-reliance on AI content generators
Solution 1: Articles generated with AI out of simple prompts are not good enough. They tend to be generic, they lack comprehensiveness and their copy tends to repeat.
What counts is the context and instructions you feed AI with. Unfortunately, most AI text generators do not do any research and analysis.
Use the tools that do the SERP and SEO analysis to feed AI to get better results or do the research on your own to feed AI.
Mistake 2: Lack of proper keyword research and optimization
Solution 3: While an AI article writer can write blog posts, they may not always be up-to-date with what content is relevant along with search engine optimization practices and keyword trends. Conduct thorough keyword and content research and incorporate relevant and high-performing keywords into your articles. Again, use your time or the right AI tools that do that for you.
Mistake 3 Neglecting content structure and organization
Solution 3: AI writing assistants may not always write articles with a clear flow or logical structure. To enhance readability and comprehension, make the proper research and feed the AI writer with relevant content like an outline, keywords, and detailed instructions.
What’s more, review and reorganize the content to follow a coherent structure. This includes using headings, subheadings, bullet points, and numbered lists to break up large blocks of text and guide the reader through the article.
