It feels like generative AI is taking over the internet. With the invention of powerful tools like ChatGPT, Grok, Claude and others like them, it's never been easier to spit out blog post content or images. Even Google has added an AI Overview to their searches whether you asked for it or not.
But we all know what mass produced, spammy AI content looks like when we see it. It's generic and full of fluff. Have you ever read something and realized that you didn't actually learn anything new? That's because it was probably AI generated spam that has just been regurgitated from something else.
There's a lot of bad actors in the blogging world who are mass producing articles and blog posts using AI tools to make a quick buck. It's ruining the internet and I won't participate in that.
So what's my policy at Nashville To Do?
AI, when used intelligently is a powerful tool. I intend to use it intelligently as a tool to improve the quality of my content.
All the content that you find on this blog is original and not found on other Nashville travel blogs on the internet. It's sourced from my own expertise or the expertise of other Nashville locals or recent visitors. I use AI to enhance the original content for readability and entertainment. It is edited by humans to make sure it's up to date and accurate.
I'm an OK writer and AI can take my words and advice and turn it into something you might enjoy reading. I have trained my own AI tools, in the form of custom GPTs created with OpenAI, to write in an entertaining, friendly, concise and helpful way, using original content. Even then, content from AI is not just copied and pasted. It's checked for accuracy and up to date information. This is a travel blog for goodness sake! People rely on this information to be correct.
I never have, and never will, mass produce unhelpful, generic, AI content. Each piece of content will be crafted to be the most helpful, relevant, up to date, and entertaining content possible, with the help of AI as a tool to make it that much easier to read.
I will never use AI images in blog posts. This is a travel blog about Nashville. It would be ridiculous to put fake images in the content. In my early days as a content creator I dabbled in AI images. I've since been removing them all. If you find one, let me know and I'll delete it immediately.
I hope this answers any questions you have. If you want to chat, shoot me an email at [email protected]
Cheers.
