Trained AI can be pretty useful at writing. People just need to actually read and edit it.

I made a website about a sport I knew nothing about. I was using AI to write the articles. I would cross reference the information against other websites on that sport and edit my AI article to make it more natural. The end goal was affiliated marketing but I lost interest after a while. Anytime you see an article like "the 10 best.." "the best hacks for..." etc, the author most likely made the article like I was doing.

Fortunately Google has shot themselves in the foot because nobody can find anything of value with their search engine anymore. Googles AI has significantly decreased traffic to all websites as well.
