Is Having Human Written Posts Worth It & What Is The Difference In Value Between An Inexpensive AI Blog Post & A Human Written Post
As I have been scanning the Internet for people looking for SEO content I have noticed that a number of companies are looking for human written content instead of AI content. So what is the difference between a human written article and an AI article? If your goal is to generate sales and run a profitable business then is human content really worth anything? AI makes writing easy to generate. You can guide it with prompts and give it feedback along the way as you guide it to make decisions. This blog post will act as a kind of experiment to see if in todays world there is really value for business and for people in content that is "human written" and
1) If people can tell the difference
2) If it is as profitable to make sales with.
What Do AI Detectors Look For & Is AI Able To Just Correct For This?
Doing a quick google search for what an AI detector looks for. The AI output from googles search gave me that AI detection looks for "bustiness" within the text. Apparently according to AI "bustiness" means that humans write in both short and long sentences. Also that humans write with more nuance and less consistency.
Just to test this out I tried out an AI detector called Zero GPT and copied and pasted an article that I definitely had generated with AI. In fact it gave the article a score of 9% human and said that it had been generated with AI or at least 91% of it. Part of that is true, but that same article definitely had my guidance and ideation to create it, yet the output is from an AI. So what does that mean and is it just as effective in selling as it would have been if it had taken hundreds of hours of research to get all of the technical specifications that were needed to created it. This is an important question and time will tell.
My Best Guess On The Issue
My best guess on the issue is that there is going to be a time and a place for AI usage and that AI will in some cases be the most optimal option to go with. However, there may be many options when the questions that people are asking aren't really asked in the questions themselves. In the book of Luke in the Bible there is a time where Jesus speaks and somehow the way that you or I write something will connect with people and just click in a way that even the most super optimized post will not.
Luke 8:10
"And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand."
There has to be something within our humanity that exists on this level. It's why each person has some level of uniqueness and why certain skills tend to come easier to some people than they do to others. We have our environment we have the things that we do daily and the habits that we form but there may be something else involved.
To answer the topic does human writing help with blogs that need sales, we are at a starting point of AI. I would like to believe that the answer is yes, that AI can help with large implementations and allows us to take our human skills and multiply them, but that we can put our own touch and nuance that improves things ever so much that it makes the difference. There have always been people that do things well and people that do things REALLY well.
To make that really concise I believe that even with the most high powered AI the human will still have an upper hand. God Bless.
Btw when I plugged this into Zero GPT, it gave this a 2.84% AI score. The only part it thought was part was AI was the Bible quote. Huh.
Why I Wrote The Marine Blog Sales Engines
Most marine businesses treat their blog like a marketing accessory.
A “nice-to-have.” A place to post updates. A box to check so the website feels complete.
I wrote The Marine Blog Sales Engines: How Blogs Drive Parts, Service, and High Dollar Marine Sales because I’ve watched that mindset quietly cost marine businesses real money—every week, every season, for years.
And it’s not because those businesses are lazy or clueless.
It’s because the marine industry has its own buying reality, and most marketing advice ignores it.
Writes marine content that matches how owners actually research: symptoms, options, variables, tradeoffs
Understands that trust is built in the fact-finding stage, not at checkout
Builds posts designed to prevent wrong decisions (and costly mistakes)
Uses structured formats (decision maps, checklists, FAQs) that scale across many topics
Knows marine buyers want practical clarity, not hype
Emphasizes safety-first guidance, which increases credibility in marine
Aligns content with business outcomes: fewer support issues, better leads, higher close rates
Understands both product-based and service-based funnels in the marine world
Builds “next step” CTAs that feel natural to researchers, not pushy
Focuses on publish-first and refine-later so businesses can scale content without getting stuck
