well, all spinners are garbage, especially now that we have GPT-3 based writers that produce better content. But, of all the garbage spinners on the market SR is the least garbage-y one, so to speak :)

SR is good, but you have to do some really extra edits to the spun article.

all the edits you have to make are toggable buttons, and if you have to manually edit a spun article then you are using content spinners wrong. If you manually have to edit spun articles you are better off using GPT-3 writers instead, which at least spare you the trouble of rewriting the content manually before editing it.

Which gpt 3 crap will produce 1500 word article? Max output I could get was about 50 words. That would be as slow as rewriting by myself.

none... yet. But content spinners don't produce 1500 words long articles, either. I mean, not articles that you put on your money sites anyway. If you have to use software to generate 1500 words articles GPT-3 tools are much better than content spinners as they produce more readable results... and 100% unique, too.

And if you think that using GPT-3 based software to write articles is slow you should see how much it takes non-native English speakers to research and write those articles. I am Romanian (Romanians are latins by nature), and I've studied English for 12 years in school, I'm quite good at it when I care about coming out as a native English speaker, but even so.... I went on an article researching + writing marathon last year so I could save money on outsourcing articles.

I did keyword research and come up with 18 great keywords that I wanted to rank for, so I did the math, did some research online and found some article writing services that were giving me quality articles for $8.5 per 1000 words. Pretty good deal I thought (and it was), but I had to write 18 articles, not just one. And this would have cost me 18 x $8.5 = $153, which is more than I had at that time ($40+).

So, I did some calculations and thought to myself "nah, since I need to get 18 articles anyway I'd rather write them myself and save the $40 for backlinks or other website promotion services". So, boasting of confidence and motivation, off I went to google to do the research and writing the articles myself.... on a topic that I knew quite a few things about and which I enjoyed writing on (self improvement). So, it should have taken me a "couple of minutes" to write that content, shouldn't it? At least that's what you keep hearing the (native English speaking) gurus say "it just takes a couple of minutes to write this article, you can do it with your eyes closed, I wrote it while I drank my coffee..." .... that sort of things.

Well, the 1st article has taken me about 40-50 minutes to research and another 2-3 hours to write. And that's because I felt super confident and motivated and had the high energy levels to write it. All nice and comfy. On to the 2nd article then.... I start doing research for the 2nd article and I lose interest 4-5 minutes in, I go to youtube and mindlessly watch youtube for like 10-11 hours straight, then I go to sleep. Wake up next morning with an important thought planted in my brain "I need to finish the other 17 articles". Do you know what I do as soon as this reminder pops into my brain? I think something like that "nah, fuck that!" and I immediately feel like throwing up. I then proceed to open up youtube again and watch youtube mindlessly for 2 days straight (I think I've watched youtube for like 15-16 hours straight, each day for 2 days, all-the-while knowing that I had 17 articles waiting to be researched and written but at the same time not giving a crap and cursing the entire internet marketing thing and imaginary showing the middle finger to google with all of their retarded "great quality content" demands).

Anyway, I didn't even want to hear about writing another article or doing any SEO / internet marketing stuff in general for as long as I lived. And this had lasted for a good 2 weeks. After 2 weeks I have finally mustered the motivation and desire to start writing again, and off to the drawing board I went again.... research: 1,5 hours + article writing 6+ hours.

After almost 8 hours of content research and writing I got literally mentally and emotionally depleted again and didn't want to hear about content writing EVER again. I eventually stopped writing those 18 articles (I think I still have the 2 articles that I've manually researched and written myself somewhere on my computer) and I quit building that website altogether.

THIS is how much times it takes to a non-native English speaker to research and write 1000 words articles on topic that he / she is genuinely interested in. So, if you think that writing content with GPT-3 based tools is slow it only means that you are a native English speaker, or someone who enjoys writing, and for people like you I have no arguments against.

But for people like myself I have all of the arguments in the world because with content writing software the research is non-existent (or takes 5-10 minutest at most to fact-check the info in google) and the writing itself also takes minutes. Ok, let's say it takes 1-2 hours at most to produce one quality article, but it's still better than spending 8 hours to create the article and being so drain mentally at the end of the article that you're not good at doing anything else than blankly staring at the ceiling until you fall asleep.

So yeah, say what you want about how bad GPT-3 writers are, but for non-native English speakers like myself, and for people who genuinely hate writing, they are a God's send.

Aye, this is because you don't have a routine and you jumped straight into writing 1000 word long articles without breaks.
You could just spit random thoughts using speech to text and correct it. Would be much less draining.
Anyways seeing how long your post is, I think you enjoy writing.

I don't enjoy writing, I enjoy having the last word (and no, I'm not a woman) :D

Regarding text to speech.... yeah, I've thought about it but... the damn motivation, man! It's lacking so much...

You can use scrapebox and their premium module to scrape articles based on html tags, and then spin them or translate them to get unique content. It can also auopost to wordpress blogs.
Good luck mate, interesting journey.

OK so I tried scrapebox and wordai. What a waste of $$ Scrapebox is. It's literally a piece of shit. I might be able to hack with Wordai but it will be a painfully slow process because of how crap the NLP is...
But we got to experiment with these things to find the holes I guess...

I completed 1x 9k article today. It took about 4 hours. Going to try 1-2 more times and then determine whether it's worth pursuing - ie, I can speed it up enough to warrant the investment..
My instinct has me thinking I will need to roll my own NLP with T5, Pegasus, or something...

What is the "9k" for here? Is this about the word count? If so, how many keywords have you targeted using this number?
To be honest it would be enough content to write a book or make a whole website.

Currently, I'm aiming for 20 - 30k readable and unique words per day.
I used a combination of 4 different software pieces to make it work. It's more of a process that requires software for each step.

Hi. So I'm lazy as fuck. The idea of writing 1000 articles turns my stomach. So I thought I would see how far I can get with using a few basic tools and a bit of ML.
In case someone else is interested I'm going to document my process.
So here goes...
POST #1: hacking 1000 articles - my approach
GOAL: produce 1000 articles of original content for my startup blog.
AIM: growth hack traffic with seo and social.
TOOLS: Screamingfrog premium and I also found a free crawler Sureoak, plus 80legs. Might also use ScrapeStorm if I get stuck. And if I'm really stuck I might even have to write my own scraper script - but I'm lazy so I will only do this as a last resort.
APPROACH: Get heaps of existing articles on my topic and summarise and spin them using AI. Then deploy in clusters.
STEP 1: Define my targets:
My startup focuses on marketing content on social media. The main opportunity I see in the content space is in funnels. And actual practice shit that isnt just the basics.
But creating content takes time so I'm going to scrape a heap of published content. First I need to crawl a few websites. to do so Im using ScreamingFrog and Sureoak - no way Im paying a $100 bucks to access premium tools like SemRush or AHREFs.
So I systematically crawl the sites and then I can filter out the crap links and combine the final list and scrape the whole articles & meta from the final link list. If SF doesnt help me do this than I will use 80legs which should pick up most of the content piece of pie.
I will post the results of how many links I get, etc when I finish.
Stay tuned.

This idea was too much stunning and amazing for me, I will wearing your response very hardly
