Is AI-Generated Content Still Safe for SEO in 2025?

With Google getting better at detecting low-quality AI content, do you think AI-generated articles are still safe if they are properly edited and optimized?
I’m curious whether members here are seeing long-term rankings with AI content or if manual writing is becoming necessary again.

I think AI is the new norm

It still ranks, but only if it’s polished, useful, and written in a natural, problem-solving way.
