# Why do I avoid using AI for blogging

Hey guys,

Non-tech talk today hehe.

Generative AI has been trending for more than a year now. GPT-3 started the trend, and after that, there are many players joined the game.

I did use some generated AI content back in the day when HashNode injected Claude (IIRC) into the platform.

At first, everything looks quite cool & quick. However, after several articles, I stopped using AI, and I'll share my thoughts here 😉

## The Thoughts

### Bad Content

As a reader, you'd expect to read an article that gives you all the good details from personal real-life experience, hands-on practice, etc. Generative AI will always give you **vague** content.

Don't be so lazy. If you don't write, don't do it. If you write, **do it properly, with heart.**

Once people like your content, they will follow your blog (absolutely).

### Using too much academic vocabulary

English isn't my first language, so, I don't want to create an article that separates the readers.

I want **everyone** (even somebody who just knows basic English) to understand what I shared in my articles.

Too much academic stuff will make my articles unreachable.

### Bad For SEO

Google already warns us about this. And I agree with Google, why do I have to read a generated article when I can do a simple chat with GPT?

### Ugly Feature Image

Honestly, I haven't used any picture generator, especially for my blog.

A blog where people design their own Feature Images (even if it's just a simple text and a simple background) is **100% worth** more than a generated AI image.

People think that generated AI will replace designers, won't be anytime soon (at least in the next 5~8 years). Human-to-human communication is already hard enough to conclude a good design, how come AI can understand us quicker & better?

## When do I use AI?

* To check the grammar (yeah English isn't my first language)
    
* To search for something quickly
    

## Conclusion

Don't abuse AI, let's make blogging enjoyable.
