WordPress.com let us know via email last night that there is now an AI Assistant available in the blog post editor. At least if you are using the Block Editor format. I don’t know if it’s there if you’re writing HTML code or anything else, but if you’re using blocks you can add an AI Assistant block and ask it to do stuff for you.
For example, I asked the AI Assistant to write a paragraph about using AI to write a blog post and it came up with this absolute fucking masterpiece:
AI has revolutionized the way we approach content creation, offering unprecedented efficiency and creativity. By harnessing the power of advanced algorithms, AI can rapidly generate compelling blog posts on a diverse range of topics, tailored to specific audiences. Moreover, it can analyze trends and audience engagement to optimize content, enhancing its impact. While AI streamlines the writing process, it also empowers human creators by providing valuable insights and freeing up time for strategic thinking and ideation. Embracing AI in blog writing opens up exciting possibilities for innovation and scalability in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
How cool is that? Now I don’t have to go to Google Bard or Chat GPT when I want to add something fucking stupid to my already lame-ass blog posts. Hurrah!
Yeah, not planning on using that myself. Too many adjectives.

Luckily enough, there shall be enough sane souls who want to use their own mind to create a readable text and contributing some ideas generated in a human mind.

I think the reason most of us are on this platform, is because WE want to write. Having said that, I sometimes read blogs that seem to follow a pattern or a template. I would be surprised if it is AI.

There’s an AI tool that will read over your post just before you publish it (on the actual website). I use that sometimes but I get the same response on every post.
Also, I feel like if you’re using AI to write for a blog, then what’s the point?

I feel like some of the blog posts I read have already been written by AI 😂 Not yours of course!

It seems that the WordPress system is not inclined to provide reach to blogs generated through AI. According to my research, if you copy content from other blogs, portals, or AI platforms like ChatGPT, your reach is automatically restricted.

Thanks for the 411!! I don’t get wp emails.
The first thing I ever did with AI was to have it write generic cover letters.
