Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a crucial aspect of digital marketing, and it has evolved significantly over the years. With the increasing use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, the SEO landscape is changing again. One technology that is having a profound impact on SEO is OpenAI’s ChatGPT. In this article, we’ll take a look at how ChatGPT is changing the SEO game and what it means for businesses and marketers.

What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an advanced language model developed by OpenAI. It uses machine learning and deep learning algorithms to generate human-like text based on input provided by users. ChatGPT is designed to perform a variety of tasks, including text generation, text completion, and conversation simulation.
How ChatGPT is Changing SEO

What Does ChatGPT Mean for SEO Professionals?
ChatGPT is changing the way that SEO professionals approach their work. While it is still important to have a deep understanding of search engine algorithms and best practices, ChatGPT is making it easier to automate many of the tasks associated with SEO. This means that SEO professionals can focus on more strategic tasks, such as analyzing data and developing campaigns.
However, it’s important to note that while ChatGPT can help to improve SEO efforts, it is not a replacement for human expertise. SEO professionals still need to have a deep understanding of the search engines, user behavior, and other factors that impact search engine rankings. Additionally, ChatGPT can only generate content based on the data it has been trained on, so it’s important to carefully monitor its output and make changes as needed.

Warning: Generating content may be a violation of Google’s T&Cs
While ChatGPT is fairly new, there are AI detection tools available. The first attempts to detect AI came from https://huggingface.co/openai-detector/ or GLTR (Giant Language model Test Room) http://gltr.io/dist/index.html to determine if the content is generated by AI or by a human. Other more modern and sophisticated options now include:
- Content at Scale: Free to use with paid plans to write undetectable AI content
- Writer.com AI Detection: Free to use, allows you to search by URL or pasted text.
- GPT Zero: Simple tool to use – trained to detect ChatGPT, GPT4, BARD, Llama, and other AI models.
On Google’s side, it makes sense to put measures into place to detect autogenerated content in order to reduce a mass influx of content that may not be valuable to a reader.
The below images show how these tools have detected that the attached content is almost 100% generated rather than created by a human.

In simple terms, the green shows generated sequences detected by the probability of “predicted words” (what comes next in a sequence).

Just when you thought that no effort would be required when producing quality content, this is not going to be the case. A human will still be needed in order to provide more context, more scope and more “Human-touch”
