Can AI content really be “as good as” human content? | Zac Harris (Rankd., Copy.ai)


Listen Later

Is it actually possible to make AI content in one go with minimal human involvement that is as good as what a human can produce? Zac Harris, former Head of Demand Gen and SEO at Copy.ai and founder of Rankd., thinks so.

But Zac does have a caveat: the input you give AI has to be far better than what your average marketer or writer tends to provide.
Ever the AI skeptic, Tim Soulo sat down with Zac recently to discuss his workflows, how he scaled Copy.ai to 1M visits per month through free tools, and more.
