Where AI belongs in a content process — and where it doesn't

It is excellent at structure and terrible at authority. Plan accordingly.

Where AI belongs in a content process — and where it doesn't

Good uses

Outlining, summarising research, drafting variants of a headline, converting a long-form asset into channel cuts, and checking a draft against a brief. All of these compress time without touching the part that makes content credible.

Bad uses

Original point of view, specific numbers, customer stories and technical judgement. If a page cannot cite something only your business knows, it will not outperform the thirty pages already covering that topic.

The workable model

Interview your expert, have the tool structure and draft, then edit hard for specificity. The measurable difference is whether a reader in the industry finishes the piece thinking 'they have actually done this'.
