Why do you take so long to use such tool?
I am reading stuff over and over again to ensure that it flows and that it's factual to the original article.

Your approach is the best quality and can ensure your get quality content, I think you can keep with this route and build a or more niche websites.
In the long run, it worths it.

I agree with you. I purchased Quilbot premium (based on a lot of people's recommendations on this forum) on Black Friday few months ago, and I've not gotten to play with it until last week when I test-drove it for a few hours and got only not-so-good results, let's say. And I still had to manually edit words and proofread and all of that, and I only did it for several pieces of 300-400 words content.
Like you said, imagine doing that for several 1000+ words articles a day, holy crap! I'd rather try to catch butterflies with the carboy or something. For me Quilbot is lost money, I just hope that I'll remember to cancel my subscription before my CC gets charged again
If you're not particularly fussy about the output of your content I'd say to use SpinRewriter. I know that it's a content spinner, but if you tweak it properly and make a few edits to the spun versions you get billions of unique versions of the same content in 2-3 clicks and within seconds. I know that SR-generated content is not suitable for money sites in most cases, but I'd still take SR over QB if I could (lack of money for now, but I'll probably get it by the end of February)
Anyway, I feel your frustration with QB...

I'm willing to pay for an OpenAI writer if this doesn't pan out. The output on Quillbot is atrocious. Anyone who understands AI-written content can tell right away that it's AI-generated if the person does not diligently edit the output, but it almost takes as much time as writing it out from scratch.

Bro, I am in same boat with you.
I bought it black friday and hadn't try it yet. But in the dashboard, you can cancel the subscription, then it will not auto charge you after 1 year later. I already did that, confirmed, I even asked their support, double ensured.

I got stung by that earlier this week because I forgot to cancel, totally my fault.For me Quilbot is lost money, I just hope that I'll remember to cancel my subscription before my CC gets charged again
I found that it did a great job of beating originality.ai but really lost the flow and half the paraphrases came out as nonsense.

Use a python script to rewrite content at a paragraph level with OpenAI. You can even train OpenAI to rewrite exactly like the Quillbot setting you like to use by giving it examples. It's very easy and super cheap.

imagine how much I cared about Quillbot if I wasn't even bothered to check the settings
But thanks for letting me know, I'm glad that I can cancel it manually whenever I want, I dread having to contact customer support and give them detailed explanations about why I don't want to keep paying for their products.
yeah, it's not as good as it's been advertised. And sorry to hear that you got charged
Yeah I looked at the BF deal and didn't bother, it's not that good a product.
There are other options that I can do a 3k word article in under 10 minutes, then get an editor to proofread and fact check.

I just tried a simple news article rewrite with a basic OpenAI prompt. The prompt is very basic and can definitely be improved. But here's what I got:
Original Article: https://www.dhs.gov/news/2023/01/13...s-supporting-labor-enforcement-investigations
Rewritten Article: https://telegra.ph/DHS-Announces-Pr...orting-Labor-Enforcement-Investigations-01-14
Here's one with a different prompt:
https://telegra.ph/DHS-Announces-Pr...ting-Labor-Enforcement-Investigations-01-14-2
How does it compare to Quillbot?

Here are 2 versions paraphrased with Quillbot:
https://telegra.ph/DHS-Announces-Pr...ting-Labor-Enforcement-Investigations-01-14-3https://telegra.ph/DHS-Announces-Pr...ting-Labor-Enforcement-Investigations-01-14-4
The 1st piece uses the least amount of synonyms (so, it should be the more accurate of the 2 versions) while the 2nd piece uses the maximum amount of synonyms, so it should be the least accurate / readable one. Theoretically...
But I just skimmed through both pieces of content and - oddly - they are pretty readable. I don't know why sometimes I get good content and sometimes garbage, but I still don't think I'll continue using Quilbot...
I didn't check the uniqueness, though, so the 1st version might not be 100% unique...

It's better. I too used Quillbot and while it was fine for months, after seeing what openai and chatgpt is able to do, I cancelled the Quillbot subscription.
The main problem of Quillbot is that sometimes it gives unreadable paragraphs that simply don't make sense. While it can be acceptable to some, for more serious webs that doesn't cut it.
By the way, how many tokens did you spend with that article, or how many cents?

Quillbot’s output needs a lot of editing. I would suggest you to try ChatGPT.
1.Open ChatGPT
2. Write “AI will rewrite the following article and make it more engaging and better”
3. Paste your article
4. Write “Better:”
5. Hit the enter button

I didn't really check tbh since I used a script to do it. It should around 1500-2000 tokens per 1000 words more or less.

The fastest way to paraphrase a 2,400-word article is to simply use your writing skills.
You have to understand that just because a phrase has roughly the same meaning as the original, it doesn't mean that it has the same emotional impact.
A lot of people producing online content don't get this.
You have to engage the reader because thanks to Google's RankBrain update, low-engagement content leading to bad user experiences will get your page penalized.
It's only a matter of time.
At the very least, your rankings will get reduced quite a bit.
Don't just focus on changing the wording so your text can survive a Copyscape check.
Focus on the experience of the reader.
With Quillbot, it pays to not only look at what was paraphrased but look at the replacement words.
Do they have the same connotations?
Do they have the same emotional tone?
Maybe by replacing certain words, you can also cut down on some other parts of the text.
These are the kinds of editorial decisions you need to make that can make or break your content's overall impact.
