Do you prefer automated content or manual content creation?

Hi everyone,
I’ve been reading different discussions about content creation methods and I’m curious about how people approach it today.
Some marketers use automated tools to generate large amounts of content, while others focus on writing everything manually.
For those with experience in this area:
• Do automated content tools still help save time on large projects?
• How much editing do you normally do before publishing generated content?
• Do you think manual writing still performs better overall?
I’d really like to hear your opinions and experiences.
Thanks!

Nowadays manual or at least semi-manual writing pays off. I've seen large websites with hundreds of thousands of impressions go to zero over the week because of AI-generated content. It is only suitable for short-term drop websites which are not really important for you.
