Google's Helpful Content Update vs. The Rise in AI

Non-human generated content has always been a bit of an issue for Google and it's likely that their Helpful Content Update would have landed even without 2022's rise in AI - but the updates, which came in August and December, have taken on new meaning since ChatGPT came to the forefront of Digital Marketing. You can find out more information about ChatGPT from this exciting blog from Dr. Dave Chaffey.

The latest episode of The Assorted Digital Ramblings podcast sees Chris, Olivia and content specialist Beth take on the Helpful Content Update, genuine uses for AI within the field of content, AI watermarking and much more.
