I can summarize my experience in two cases for ai content:
1. AI content that is manually edited - in this case you are probably going to have an even better piece of content than your competitors.
The downside: more time for each piece, less pieces for a given time frame. you can't produce 50 articles a day this way.
2. Automated AI - I have to say I have seen pretty impressive models and algorithms that produce content, but if you want to do 100 articles a day or stuff like that, you can't reach the satisfactory level of a manually edited content.
HOWEVER, IF YOU FINE TUNE YOUR MODEL, TAKE CARE OF LITTLE NUEANCES AND ORGANIZS THE CONTENT AND APPLY SOME TRICKS TO ENHANCE READABILITY AND ENGAGEMENT, APPLYING GOOD KW RESEARCH AND YOU KNOW, DATA FROM GOOGLE, YOU ARE PROBABLY ON THE RIGHT PATH TO A DECENT-LEVEL CONTENT.
Also, ai content won't work for reviews and stuff so you need to focus on info pieces.
*I think with the new AI image models, there is a good potential to increase article quality.
