Go Ask ChatGPT
That’s become the answer to everything on the internet and I’m kind of here for it.
I can’t tell exactly when AI obliterated everything human. Ok, slight exaggeration — not everything, not yet. Tools like ChatGPT were founded in 2022 but didn’t become popular until 2023.
So, let’s say, 2023. That’s when every bloggers dream went to hell.
That’s when people starting paying attention to AI and getting their information and answers from the likes of ChatGPT, Gemini, Jasper and more.
And I won’t lie. I’ve used them in the past. When I was publishing 5–10 articles a day on MSN with the help of a VA. I used AI. Don’t judge. Most writers do these days.
Bloggers got scared and sold their websites
Google decimated an awful lot of website traffic back in 2023, dished out manual penalties left, right and center and had bloggers scrambling to figure out how they were going to do things like, put food on the table, pay their mortgage, clothe their kids, you get the idea.
Websites went up for sale and bloggers were going back to 9–5 jobs in brick and mortar places.
AI now does what bloggers use to do. Give information to people on the internet who want answers, fast.
