Artificial intelligence is transforming the way marketers create and utilize marketing content. According to a HubSpot survey, 83%<\/a> of marketers said that using AI helps them produce more content than without it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They use AI to create fresh content, edit or rephrase existing content, prepare content outlines, research keywords, analyze data, and streamline content production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no dearth of ways to use AI in content marketing. However, the biggest struggle for content marketers today is that an AI content creation tool cannot produce output as personal, conversational, and accurate as human content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, artificial intelligence is a valuable ally that can save a content marketer time and effort. Read on to learn how to use AI in content marketing correctly. We’ll also share some tips and tricks our own content team uses to maintain quality while still scaling content creation. But first, let\u2019s cover the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding AI in Content Marketing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In its simplest terms, artificial intelligence simulates human-like intelligence in software or machines. This allows machines to perform tasks that traditionally only humans could do, such as learning from past behavior or making strategic decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural Language Processing (NLP)<\/em> is a term used to describe AI\u2019s ability to process and understand human language, both spoken and written. This allows it to create, edit, rephrase, personalize, summarize, or translate content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By understanding how people talk and write, AI can create almost human-like content with high accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A branch of AI called generative AI<\/strong> is now being widely used for developing AI-created content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tools like ChatGPT and Jasper have simplified the content creation process by helping marketers generate ideas, create outlines, or even write content in seconds, not hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per the previously cited HubSpot survey, these are the key ways in which marketers incorporate AI in marketing campaigns:<\/p>\n\n\n

Though there are many use cases, AI-generated content also raises some concerns, such as issues with originality. Since AI uses existing data to create content, is AI content truly original <\/em>or plagiarized?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, numerous AI content detection tools can almost accurately recognize AI content. Does this mean there\u2019s still a significant difference between AI and human content? Should content marketers use AI in content marketing?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The short answer is ‘yes.’ Most marketers recognize these concerns and use AI to drive efficiencies<\/strong> rather than using 100% AI-generated content. The key is to strike a balance between AI and human input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
