ChatGPT makes links more prominent

by Danny Goodwin for Search Engine Land ChatGPT now features “more prominent” links to sources in its responses for paid users, OpenAI announced. Links won’t appear in the free version of ChatGPT, however. Why we care. Brands, SEOs and content creators of all sizes have been extremely considered about the parasitic nature of generative AI. Large AI companies like OpenAI have consumed large amounts of web content and provided answers without attribution. The addition of links is a step in the right direction. However, it’s unknown whether people will actually click on those links. What it looks like. The links (or citations)…

Humans prefer AI-generated copy, survey finds

by Danny Goodwin for Search Engine Land Humans are more likely to prefer content generated by AI than written by a human, according to a surprising new survey. Why we care. While AI can’t entirely replace humans in content creation, clearly generative AI can create content that resonates with consumers. Generative AI 6, humans 0. In six AI- vs. human-generated content battles, the generative AI version “won” each. Here’s an example of one such battle, where the task was to write an introduction for a blog post about the best cat food for indoor cats. AI won 54% to 46%: In the…

Was it Written by AI? How You Can Tell, According to HubSpotters

by Erin Rodrigue for HubSpot In school, I learned the basics of good writing — keep it short, concise, and grammatically correct.  By that definition, AI-written content should be good, right? Yet, when I play around with tools like ChatGPT, I notice a few red flags.  Sure, it's grammatically correct, but it gives off serious "corporate speak" vibes. It follows a logical sequence, but it often goes on lengthy tangents. And while its responses may be accurate, it often lacks a unique perspective.
