Search Engine Land

Did you know that 65.8% of people think AI content is equal to or better than human writing? This is incredible, at least to me. With so much AI-generated content generated in the last year, it has become harder to distinguish whether a human wrote it unless there is a label. So the question is: why stop writers from using AI?
