AI content is everywhere, but most businesses are still asking the same question: is it helping SEO or quietly hurting it?

In this episode of Measured, we break down what “AI content” actually means, explain what an LLM is (the technology behind tools like ChatGPT and Gemini), and walk through the real difference between AI generated content and AI assisted content. We also cover where AI creates risk for search, including generic sameness, made up facts, weak point of view, and publishing large volumes of content that looks fine but earns no trust.

From there, we share a simple workflow you can actually rely on. Start with keywords and search intent, use AI to build structure and a first draft, then apply a human pass to add accuracy, depth, brand voice, and real value like examples, screenshots, and firsthand experience. We also talk through what to measure so AI stays tied to results, including time saved, how much rewriting was required, fact corrections, and how performance shows up in impressions, clicks, and conversions over time.
