Are AI articles still ranking with basic backlinks?

I've been testing a few AI-written articles recently with only basic internal links and a couple backlinks.
Some pages indexed and ranked faster than expected.
Curious what's working for others right now with AI content SEO?

Same here, I’ve noticed AI content can rank surprisingly fast when the topic selection and on-page SEO are done properly. From what I’ve tested, adding some manual editing, unique insights, strong internal linking, and a few quality backlinks still makes a big difference. Pure AI spam usually fades quickly, but well-optimized content is still working.

I am still testing this, but AI content can rank if it's useful and well structured. Internal links and some authority signals seem to help it get indexed and picked up faster.
