AI Content Generation

GLOSSARY

Definition

AI content generation uses large language models to produce marketing copy: blog posts, ad headlines, product descriptions, email subject lines, social captions. The tools take a brief or a prompt and output draft text that a human reviews, edits, and publishes.

Why it matters

The first generation of AI writing tools (Jasper, Copy.ai) wrapped GPT-3 in a marketing-specific interface. The current generation is harder to distinguish from general-purpose AI assistants. The quality ceiling went up, but so did the volume of mediocre content. Google's helpful content updates target sites that publish AI-generated text without editorial oversight. The tools that survived are the ones positioned as drafting assistants, not replacements for writers.
