Does Google penalize blogs with posts written by AI?

I just started my website and want to use the blog section to drive some traffic to my website. Does Google care if I use AI to write the posts? Will using AI hurt my search engine rankings?

Google does not penalize blogs with posts written by AI. In fact, Google has said that AI-generated content is not against its guidelines. However, Google does penalize low-quality content, including content that is poorly written, repetitive, or irrelevant. So, if you use AI to write your blog posts, it is important to make sure that the content is high-quality and meets Google’s guidelines.

Here are some tips for posting high-quality AI-generated content:

• Use a good AI writing tool. There are a number of AI writing tools available, and some are better than others. Do some research to find a tool that is reliable and produces high-quality content.
• Provide clear instructions to the AI. When you give the AI instructions, be as clear and specific as possible. This will help the AI to generate content that is relevant to your topic and meets your expectations.
• Review the content carefully. Once the AI has generated the content, review it carefully to make sure that it is high-quality. This includes checking for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. And also repetitive content. You also want to make sure that the content is accurate.
• Edit the content as needed. You may need to edit the content to make it more concise or to add additional information.

By following these tips, you can post high-quality AI-generated content to your blog that will not be penalized by Google, and satisfy the “good content” requirement of your website’s search engine optimization (SEO). Make sure that your topics are interesting and something that your website visitors would want to read. Happy posting!
