I know you're asking the OP his opinion but I thought I'd share mine also.
AB is absolute rubbish. Yes I have an account. While there are hundreds if not thousands of points that could be used on many of these broad niches they're ignored. Instead each niche is filled with spun sentences covering just a few points of the broad niche. What do I mean?
AB has the ability now to create 20 articles at a time per niche for download as a zip file. If you do this 5 times (100 articles) for a niche like weight loss you'd expect to see hundreds of facts out of thousands that are online. This is not what you'll find with AB. What you'll find is practically the same general facts over and over and over. If you read 3 out of the 100 weight loss articles you'll be hard pressed to find any new facts in the other 97. Although the articles are guaranteed 75% unique when compared to each other they're all the same points said in different ways. So instead of having an encyclopedia of weight loss tips you have about 10 tips spun every way of Sunday over and over. After you read all the articles you'll swear you read the same thing over and over.
Another reason AB sucks for content marketing is no direction. All articles are vague and general. The demo will show you can put in keywords to narrow the focus of the article but no where are the keywords defined for a niche so it's a pig in a poke to toss in a keyword and the software actually finding information on that keyword. The downside of using keywords is no super spun content if you enter a keyword to focus an article. So what you end up with is an article that if you're damn lucky finds relevant information for your keyword but is built almost entirely on duplicate content found everywhere in exact phrasing on the web. Without the super-spun feature AB articles are abysmal in uniqueness. Not that they're great with super-spun content enabled.
So if you just want vague, no keyword focus, super-spun generic articles then AB is the ticket. They'll never rank on their own for any keywords, most won't pass a real duplicate checker like Plagium and most will be banned from posting to article directories that perform basic checks for uniqueness.
Now the snake oil salesman has included the AB content in TBS further diluting whatever uniqueness some of the sentences might of had. He claims giving thousands of TBS users the AB content snippets won't affect uniqueness of this content on the web and everyone knows that BS.
The tool has little to no good SEO benefit at all with over 1500 current AB subscribers and thousands of TBS subscribers all posting the same content snippets thousands of times a day.
Jon has raised the daily article limit to 400 a day (from 250) to stop the flood of members exiting his membership. This further exacerbates the problem of diluting the content. While his sales video shows him pulling up a weight loss article and dropping it in Copyscape for a very high uniqueness rating. That is PURE BS today. That video was done before he signed up over a thousand members and gave them 250 articles a day limit. Today if you follow his steps in the video you'll find a 97% hit rate in Copyscape with only stop words show as unique (because they're not graded).
I've taken 100 articles and run them through Plagium and found many WHOLE PARAGRAPHS duplicated. Jon says as long as no other article has the same duplicate snippets more than 25% of the time then Google will count that page as unique. I disagree.
What Jon is saying is I can take one sentence from 50 different websites (50 sentences total) and compile them on one page and Google will say my page is unique because no other single page on the Internet will have my same grouping of sentences. Great sales pitch for noobs. SEO experts know this is a bunch of BS. Google dissects pages into snippets and compares those snippets to the total index they've scraped. Google would say my 50 sentence page has NOTHING UNIQUE and toss it to the curb.
That's my opinion of AB articles. However I did find a purpose for all this vague super spun shit so it has a purpose if you're targeting noob buyers.
Bottom line, save your money.
