Sorry for the clickbait title; a bit exaggerated but I want to make a case for why human content can still be relevant today.

There have been a lot of talks lately about the domination of AI content and how traditional content writing is dying because it is not scalable or cost-efficient enough. Also, many SEO gurus will say that it's impossible to rank without lots of backlinks, no matter how good your content is.

I ran an experiment on one of my sites where I published high-quality real human-written content with many unique images and followed the typical on-page SEO practices. No AI tools were used on this site (despite that I use them for other sites). No link buying. No email outreach. No high domain rating. Just pure good content.

We started publishing the content in December. See the latest Ahrefs report below.

Great content remains KING, and Google will reward you for it.

Says nobody. Some posts, niches ai can do pretty good and for some humans.

IT depends on various factors as said above. Some niche rank well on AI. Some mix AI content with human written content.
 
Great content is king but not always as I saw various sites' ups and down. Also, Not all niches will work with Ai.

By the way, your result is very good. How many articles and word count mate?

Yes, definitely.. My main point is not to diss AI but to show that great results can still be achieved also without it.

2500-4000 words for normal articles, and 4000-7000 for pillar articles. I prepared the articles in advance with the help of a content writer. We published appx 40-50 articles all at once by the end of November and the start of December

That you did not buy links does not mean the domain doesn't have any. The screenshot you shared indicated that the domain has as much as 409 referring domains. Depending on niche and quality, that is enough to rank some sites. Congrats on your growth.

By the way, I've never seen anyone say AI content is dominating. The conversation is actually different from what you're making it seem.

Any smart business person would always choose a cheaper alternative, if the cheaper alternative would deliver same quality of results or better. An example is Amazon and other companies using delivering robots or full serf-driving cars for delivery.

True, the domain was aged, and even though it was outdated, it accumulated a decent number of referring links when it was at its prime.

It depends on who you ask but most recently I've seen more people bragging about how the rank AI content than the opposite.

The "cheaper alternative" is also something relevant. If Google still prioritizes non-AI content then is AI of better value even if it's much cheaper to produce?

Last, I am not against AI content, and I even use it for several sites, but my case here is that 100% human content still performs great and can be even cost-efficient if it brings such results as in my case.
 
AI detection uses AI to detect AI, so it is always human brains at the end or rather at the very end. If human creativity is not employed into all this AI mumbo jumbo, then AI would end up being not so intelligent at the end or rather at the very end. Infact for some or many, AI is already not as intelligent as it it presently hyped up to be. It will take another 2 to 3 years for the dust to settle down OR for the dawn of a new era. Time will tell.

If the quality of information for both AI and human content are the same and the AI costs less, then AI is truly of better value.

Nobody said human content don't perform great. Even some human content are crap!

I agree, even though I haven't reached this level yet; been using trained GPT-3 API and Writesonic, but the content that we create by hand is much superior IMO. Maybe I'm just bad at using AI :D

Indeed, AI cannot replace "I" or rather you or me or anyone else. The creativity of your human brain enabled you to utilize AI to make that money. AI can no way replace human creativity.
Can we "Hi, AI, I want to create a blog with content, in the gardening niche and get it ranked on page 1 of Google and have it monetized by AdSense and make money. My bank account number is 123456789 in ABCD bank ..... blablabla". And then AI will do EVERYTHING and we just have to sit back and relax and watch totally passive income rolling into our bank accounts everyday.
All forms or types of AI utilities are just smart tools, not a replacement for human beings or not a replacement for the creativity of a human brain. Yeah, a robot doing heart surgery, a robot giving us a haircut, etc, we can really talk about that after 5 to 10 years, not yet, as all that is not yet rolled out in mass, it's still within the labs mostly.

Thread's topic was not about this. AI still replaced dozens of coders, content creators, artwork creators and a lot of forums/platforms/engines for me. And it is still 2023 yet. Even you will be amazed with the AI in a few years. And yes it will replace most humans eventually, my friend.

I think in this regard the comparison is between proper human content Vs properly generated AI content. I would wager that the difference in quality is far less significant than we might believe. And if AI is able to produce the content faster & cheaper than humans, taking the big picture view, it just *might* be better.

For example, for content creation, AI relies on what ? It relies on the vast database of content that is created by human beings. In a way AI may affect certain professions in certain ways. But to effectively use AI, a creative human brain is required. For example, let us assume that I can now use AI to code, so if I can, then all of us can. So, we all can suddenly scale up. But, how can we all then earn from it ? We need to market what (using AI) we code, (in order to earn from what we code using AI). So, example, coders using AI to code is getting saturated. As a human being, I would not make certain of my buying decisions based purely on some automated marketing material that is given to me.
How will all these coders earn from all the coding ? Using AI to market what they code ? I will always prefer some real human interaction, not AI interaction, when making a buying decision, in many cases. Therefore, human activity & human creativity, still matters even if using AI.
AI will be intelligent for me, the day, I can tell AI "Hey, AI, I will just sit and relax by the beach, you please make me passive income forever, without me moving a finger". In my individual case, till that is not possible, then AI is not all that intelligent. Why ? For any effective usage of AI, human creative activity will always be needed. You can make a million codes by coding with AI, but to make effective usage (earnings) from it, your human creativity is needed and will always be needed for it.
AI has and will continue to replace some human tasks, but my point is that the application of such AI done tasks, will always require human creativity.
