Frequently Asked Questions

Is AI writing detectable?

AI detectors are unreliable — they have false positive rates of 10-30% on human-written text. Google does not penalize AI content that is helpful and original. The risk is not detection but quality: generic AI content that does not help readers.

Can AI writing tools replace human writers?

Not yet. AI tools dramatically accelerate writing but still need human direction, fact-checking, and editing. The best setup: AI generates first drafts and variations, humans add expertise, experience, and brand voice.
