How to edit AI content to make it YOURS

In this episode of Content Conversations we focus on the importance of editing AI-generated content. We emphasize that AI-generated content, while useful, lacks a human touch.

Hanson highlights the importance of incorporating personal experiences and engaging subject matter experts to add depth and authenticity to the content. We also discuss the tips he provides for optimizing content for search engines and incorporating visuals and bullet points to enhance reader engagement.
