So far, Google’s official stance on using AI to write content is just fine, assuming that content was not written to manipulate the search results. If the content is useful, helpful and quality, it doesn’t matter if a machine wrote it or a human. But John Mueller of Google doesn’t seem too positive about the current state of AI writing great content.
At least, that is my take on the recent posts from John Mueller on the topic. Here are some quick statements John has made on the topic. Keep in mind, some of these are responses to SEOs looking to use AI to take shortcuts and potentially manipulate the Google search results, or at least it can be taken as such. So John has to somewhat lean on the side of caution in his replies.
It’s like food with only 20% toxic chemicals? Sounds tasty.

20% toxic sounds bad…
If you had an important legal case, would you want your lawyer to use chat gpt and Google translate to make the argument before the judge?

You don’t want to put your legal case in the hands of AI…
