Can You Trust Them?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m sure by now you\u2019ve read a lot about <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/chatbcg-first-text-to-powerpoint-ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI<\/a> writing content or producing artwork. In one way, AI writing tools help you produce articles or books with simple prompts, cutting down the time it would take for humans to do the same. The two questions many people are asking are if these \u2018tools\u2019 <strong>plagiarize and copy content<\/strong>, and if you can trust them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have two disclaimers before I present my answer. One, I am human and not AI, so no tool was used in creating this article. Two, I\u2019m not trying to advertise any AI writing tools, much like other articles you\u2019ll see on this topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">My best AI tools for every niche that&#39;ll get you massively ahead in 2023: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/N354dhWvra\">pic.twitter.com\/N354dhWvra<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Barsee ?

No, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/generative-ai-and-hollywood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI<\/a> writing tools don\u2019t copy content and they don\u2019t plagiarize. Well, not the really good ones anyway. How they work in theory is by <strong>scanning the internet<\/strong>, learning from what we\u2019ve presented online. From the knowledge they gain, they deliver content in a new way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which is not very different from <strong>SEO practices<\/strong>, actually. If you look at that definition above, developers have taught AI how to take SEO methods and craft articles that should rank well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do I mean? Well, I\u2019ve been working with SEO for more than four years now. I remember the Skyscraper method that was all the rage a few years ago, and probably still is. We used to take a topic, use different methods to <strong>compare the top articles on Google<\/strong>, and determine which headings and content would be best to rank on top. Then, we would rewrite the content in a unique, better way while ensuring that we avoid plagiarism\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much like AI writing tools are doing, just faster\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0.jpg\" alt=\"Do AI Writing Tools Copy Content\" class=\"wp-image-209282\" width=\"-427\" height=\"-320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0.jpg 600w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just last year, I had a SEO Chrome plugin that would appear when I searched for topics. It would then <strong>suggest an outline<\/strong> and what content I should cover if I wanted to write an article about it. Knowing what I know now, I would say that was already a sign of the AI writing tools that have suddenly appeared in the last few months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can you trust AI writing tools? Well, nothing can replace human writing. Sure, you won\u2019t need to worry about plagiarism, as most of these tools make sure they don\u2019t copy and paste. It might paraphrase and <strong>rewrite content<\/strong>, but you won\u2019t see exact articles copied over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why so many writers are worried that they may be losing their freelance jobs. Fortunately, I\u2019ve been noticing many companies using AI detection tools to see if content is written by AI or humans. So, not only are they checking for plagiarism, but also fake articles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps there\u2019s hope for us yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Do AI Writing Tools Copy Content\" class=\"wp-image-209283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-1-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-1-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-1-1-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-1-1-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-1-1-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-1-1-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-1-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/pasted-image-0-1-1-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m sure by now you\u2019ve read a lot about AI writing content or producing artwork.
