Concern: Do you think will Google find a way to detect chatGPT generated blog posts and punish them?

Inside our team, we were discussing about using chatGPT for blog post creation but i am quite concerned about a future Google update like Panda. Do you have any tips to be future-proof your ai-generated contents?

Google don't seem to care how content is generated - after all, if they are releasing their own AI chat bot how could they demonise it?
I recently published an article about Medium’s policy on using AI generated content, comparing it with Google’s approach to AI. I also touched on the unreliability of AI content generation detector tools. - https://medium.com/@imagepunk/us...
Here are some key points relating to Google:
In Google's best practices it states that content must be - helpful, reliable, and people-first.
Additionally there is no specific mention of AI generated content as spam in their Spam Policies. And Googles Search Liaison, Danny Sullivan said on Twitter:
"We haven’t said AI content is bad. We’ve said, pretty clearly, content written primarily for search engines rather than humans is the issue. If someone fires up 100 humans to write content just to rank, or fires up a spinner, or a AI, same issue…"
So my take on Google is that so long as the content is …
1. Reviewed by a human,
2. Helpful, reliable, people-first content.
3. Not generated with the specific intent to manipulate search
… then it’s fine with them.

@imagepunk @andywoodhq Thanks Andy, you are helpful as always :)
Seems like reviewing and maybe little bit rephrasing will be needed for sure.
@imagepunk @andywoodhq I can agree with your thoughts. Google doesn´t care if the content is unique and useful. In general, copywriters do the same job, they take 4-5 articles, read them and write on their own words (I am not speaking about serious content like analytics, or deep research-based content).
I really hope not 😅 i used help of ChatGPT for our last two blog posts
@sandradjajic ups, but did you directly copy what chatGPT gave you or did you revise it?
I think improvising the ChatGPT output is the best way to go about it.
I think yes. It is a matter of time. chatGPT has its own classifier that is not accurate now but they have it (https://platform.openai.com/ai-t...). So soon we will be able to check if the text is generated or not. Yeah, you can paraphrase and proofread it, and improve. But if chatGPT develops such an instrument so Google will definitely do this also, especially if we take into consideration that Google is going to run its own AI and its own chatbot that will compete with chatGPT.
@vadim_voronovskiy1 Hmmm so rephrasing some sentences may not be enough then, we will need a full paraphrasing :/
@mutlusakar I´´ll better say writing quality content using chatGPT as an assistant to save time for searching info in Google. But also depends on content as sometimes it is better to recheck info provided by chatGPT.
