Why AI Slop Matters
It's Polluting Search Results
Google's Helpful Content Update was a direct response to AI slop. Low-quality AI content pushes down genuinely useful results.
It Erodes Trust

How to Avoid Creating AI Slop
1. Never Publish Raw AI Output
AI is a starting point, not a finished product. Always review, edit, and add original value before publishing.
2. Add Original Insights
Include data, personal experience, expert quotes, or unique perspectives that AI can't generate.
3. Humanize Your Content
Use Humaneer to transform AI drafts into natural, engaging content that adds real value to readers.
