Frequently asked questions
Is ChatGPT free?
Yes, ChatGPT is free to use with an OpenAI account, and a free iOS app is available. However, OpenAI also offers a paid tier called ChatGPT Plus, which costs $20/month. Subscribers to ChatGPT Plus receive benefits such as general access to ChatGPT even during peak times, faster response times, Custom GPTs, and priority access to new features and improvements. The free version gives you access to GPT-3.5, while the Plus version provides access to GPT-4, OpenAI's most capable model.
Is ChatGPT good for SEO?
ChatGPT can be a valuable tool for SEO, assisting with keyword research, content creation, and SEO formatting tasks. It can generate human-like text based on the input it receives, which can be used to enhance your SEO efforts and online visibility.
Is ChatGPT a threat to SEO?
ChatGPT can be used to conduct keyword research, brainstorming a pool of keywords that can then be evaluated for their effectiveness using SEO tools like Semrush. However, it's important to note that ChatGPT does not replace traditional keyword research tools and should not be relied upon solely for this task.
Does Google penalize ChatGPT content?
No, Google does not penalize content generated by ChatGPT or any other AI. However, Google does penalize poor quality content. The quality of the content, whether it's generated by a human or an AI like ChatGPT, is what matters. If the content is high-quality, unique, and provides value, it will be rewarded by Google's algorithms.
If it's low-quality, duplicate, or spammy, it will be penalized, regardless of how it was generated. There is no clear evidence that Google is currently detecting and penalizing AI-generated content.
Can I teach ChatGPT to write like me?
Yes, you can teach ChatGPT to write like you. This can be achieved by providing the model with examples of your writing, giving clear instructions about your writing style, and using prompts that guide the AI to mimic your tone and style.
Another way is to use a tool like Voicenotes to make audio recordings which you can then transcribe and repurpose into a full blog post, this makes sure you content is original and follows your way of speaking, making the content sound natural.
However, it's important to note that while ChatGPT can emulate your writing style, ChatGPT can’t replace a human, you may still need to edit the generated text to ensure it aligns perfectly with your unique voice.
