Using AI Creation

People often ask whether it's okay to use AI-generated material. While there are usually no legal restrictions--pure AI creations are open source, and anything generated with a user's creative input belongs to the user--the question is far more complex.

After all, nobody is wondering whether they can send an AI-generated birthday card to their mom. The real concern comes from people who want to use AI-generated content on their websites, books, and videos. And that's where we run into a whole different set of rules, dictated by big companies and their clientele.

I started using AI-generated material on my websites two years ago. After an initial boost, their rankings dropped like stones thrown into the Grand Canyon. Google simply doesn't like AI-generated content. This is especially true for text, but it applies to images as well. If possible, always use a real images, and never ever post AI-generated text without at least doing some very serious editing!

Now, I'm seeing the same trend with YouTube Shorts. When I use clips from stock footage, the short gets promoted. But if I let AI generate the footage, the video will most likely sit untouched. A quick look at the metrics proves that it's not the viewers rejecting it - the short was never even shown in the feed. On the same channel, the next short, which uses real footage and images, performs well - at the very least reaching its 450 test viewers.

    Did you submit your websites to your Google Search Console
    where they tell you the exact reason why your pages are not
    indexed, or are you making assumptions as to why your sites
    are not performing well?

    Also, what is your opinion about A.I.-generated code for things
    such as websites, browser extensions, plugins, apps, etc.

    Do you think that A.I. should not be used for any of those.

      I just witnessed the drop, did not use Google Search Console.

      About the AI - don't get me wrong. I like using AI. I pay for ChatGPT premium and use it all the time, as well as Suno for music creation etc. It's just that we need to be extra careful because with Ai we are often sailing uncharted waters. Code creating should be fine because you do not include the AI-created code in the final product.

        The next time you develop a website, ask ChatGPT for instructions
        on submitting your site to the Google Console. There is a procedure
        which involves developing a sitemap.xml, depending on the size of
        your project.

        I am a website developer, I do this quite often, and I use A.I. for just
        about everything - code, content, images, etc., all that is left for me
        to do is simple manual tasks.

        I am old school and my sites are HTML. I find WP to be a PITA and
        it's just faster for me to work with HTML. When I began developing
        websites 25 years ago, WP was not a thing.

        When you use A.I.-generated code to develop any type of app, the
        code IS the product. I develop apps as well because A.I. makes
        things so easy. Apps are additional income streams and I love it.

        I wish you all the best with your developments!

    That's an interesting perspective, and I've observed similar patterns myself. AI-generated content can be a helpful tool, but it seems like search engines and social media platforms are quietly pushing back against it. Google, in particular, tends to favor content that feels natural, well-researched, and engaging - something AI still struggles to fully replicate.

    Well maybe Ai its disliked by google but in my case of not having experience in writing articles probably it will take me 3 to 4 hours to write an article and i dont know if it will be a good one
    So instead i prefer to create an article in few seconds with chatgpt
    Yea for people that want someting serious ai would not be a good option but for those who cannot write content or dont have the time then Ai its better than nothing

      Yeah, I get you! AI is a great shortcut when time is tight. Maybe tweaking the output a bit could help make it more natural? Have you checked how AI content scores with detection tools?

    Using AI creation is an advantage as it helps us to get ideas but not to the point that we have to rely on it entirely.

    AI-generated content often gets deprioritized by platforms like Google and YouTube. Use real images, heavily edit AI text, and prefer authentic footage for better performance. Quality and authenticity matter.

    To hell with creation, let's figure delivery!

    What if all your meticulously configured marketin' assets were SUMMERIZED by default for the benefit of your audience?

    That's an interesting observation! It does seem like platforms are actively pushing back against AI-generated content, especially when it's unedited or lacks a human touch. Google's stance on AI-generated text aligns with their broader focus on high-quality, user-first content.

    For YouTube Shorts, it's fascinating that AI-generated clips aren't even getting the chance to be seen. Do you think this is due to YouTube's algorithm specifically flagging AI content, or could it be a matter of engagement signals such as viewers interacting less with AI-generated visuals?

    Also, have you tested mixing AI-generated elements with real footage to see if that makes any difference?

    Anyone looked at the impact when using on facebook or instagram/tiktok? I have run across a lot of AI content in my feeds so I assume it's not de-prioritized...but maybe there's just a ton out there?

    I've been a web developer and illustrator since 2000, and AI has helped me a lot in my professional life, since I work alone. And AI is an excellent assistant for my projects.

    Totally get where you're coming from. Platforms like Google and YouTube seem to quietly penalize AI-generated content, especially when it lacks that human touch. From my own testing, too, real visuals and human-edited text always perform better. It's not just about legality anymore, it's about visibility and engagement.
