Is AI up to the challenge yet?
Well, I searched around online and tracked down a few AI writing sites that offer a free if limited version of their site's AI to try out. There are a dozen online right now and interestingly most of them focus on writing scripts for movies, novel writing, and writing papers. Only a few seemed to make a first-page fuss about writing articles for publication or blogging.
Smodim and Copymate were two that offered article writing so I just picked a topic dear to my heart for each of them, and clicked the go button then collected the free output to show what the state of the (freebie) art is.
Neither offers all the bells and whistles as a freebie, or else limits you to a certain maximum word count and/or number of accesses per day. Leave a comment if you find any others and would like me to check 'em out, and now without further ado, here are the contestants:

Topic: Making Electric vehicles more appealing to people
Electric vehicles are becoming more and more popular, but there is still a lot of public resistance to them. One big reason for this resistance is the high cost of electric cars. Another obstacle is the fact that people don’t think they will be able to use these cars in their everyday lives. To make electric vehicles more palatable, companies need to develop an easy-to-use charging system and make it affordable for consumers.
Electric vehicles have a lot of benefits over their traditional counterparts. They are notably more environmentally friendly, because they don't produce any emissions. They are also cheaper to operate, as there is no need for fuel. In addition, electric vehicles are more agile than traditional vehicles. They can climb slopes and negotiate tight turns better than gasoline-powered vehicles.
To make electric vehicles more popular, it is necessary to change a few things. For example, it is necessary to make them more accessible. Currently, electric vehicles are only available to a niche market, and they are not as affordable as traditional vehicles. It is also important to give people the impression that electric vehicles are safe. This is challenging, because electric vehicles can have a similar appearance to traditional vehicles.
In addition to developing new technology, it is necessary to develop marketing plans. This will help embed the benefits of electric vehicles in people's minds. It is also necessary to create a supportive infrastructure, such as charging stations. This infrastructure will make electric vehicles more appealing to the general public.

Topic: How Sustainable Energy Will Save The Planet
The world has been using fossil fuels for hundreds of years and has left a huge carbon footprint on the environment. This article talks about the potential for Renewable Energy to save the planet from climate change.
What is Renewable Energy?
Renewable energy is energy that comes from natural sources that can be replenished. This includes solar, water, wind, and geothermal. Sustainable energy is important because it can help preserve our planet while also providing power to homes and businesses. When we use sustainable energy, we're not depleting the earth's resources, which means we can continue to rely on these sources of power for generations to come.
How are we going to eliminate fossil fuel dependence?
The future of sustainable energy is looking very bright. With technology becoming more and more efficient, and the cost of renewable energy sources dropping, it's only a matter of time until we wean ourselves off of fossil fuels entirely. Here are a few ways that sustainable energy will save the planet:
1. Renewable energy is getting cheaper every year.
As the technology improves and becomes more widespread, the cost of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power continues to drop. At some point, they will be cheaper than fossil fuels, making them the logical choice for both consumers and businesses.
2. Electric cars are becoming more popular.
Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular, as they are much cheaper to operate than gas-powered vehicles. In addition, they emit zero emissions, which is great for the environment. As battery technology continues to improve, electric cars will only become more prevalent in the coming years.
3. Sustainable energy creates jobs.
The renewable energy industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the world, creating millions of new jobs in recent years. This is good news for both the economy and the environment, as sustainable energy sources help to reduce pollution and combat climate change.
Conclusion
As the world looks for ways to become more sustainable, it is important to consider all of our options for energy. Sustainable energy is a great way to save the planet and its resources. There are many different types of sustainable energy, so there is sure to be an option that will work well for you and your family. With a little research, you can find the perfect sustainable energy source for your needs.
Conclusion:
Either program shows promise, and of course I'm pretty sure there'd be some other goodies that you could include to let the AI flesh out articles a bit more, like maybe a few URLs to read and include, images, some of your own text, or whatever.
Both produced readable copy which I've included as is without spellcheck or editing for style or grammar.
Interestingly, I found that Smodim produced copy that's more in the style I like to write, but it also triggered a number of Grammarly errors. (Is that how Skynet will become self-aware? A grammar flame war between two AI programs? Yeesh.) I did like the natural style. Also, both programs wanted my email address as part of the access process but only Smodim followed up with a couple of emails to offer me a bit of extra copy and seemed more serious about working with me.
Copymate was harder because I had to prompt it to produce each section separately, copy/paste it, click back, and then get it to make the next section. I get that this is to slow down people from holus-bolus slurping up entire blogs' worth of content, but I'd hope that the full version would fix that. Copymate also seemed the more customisable. Copymate didn't follow up, was as I said harder to get free copy from, but seems that it might have more knobs and tweakers once you get inside.
This Is The End
... of this article. But it's nowhere near the end for me. It takes several days to find a topic to write about, properly research it, and then write and schedule it. I don't have any assistance (yet - hint hint, your patronage could mean I can hire an AI copywriter) and I don't have the kind of income that allows me to use a scheduling service like established writers can. I also spend some of my limited pension on keeping servers and domain names going, more on parts for the R&D I do making the machines for recycling waste. You can help me by sharing this article or the link to the newsletter I put out, or more directly by making a Paypal donation here. Failing that you can also go to my Ko-Fi page and set up a monthly donation. (It's like Patreon without all the bullsh*t.) Everything you can do, will help me keep going.
You can also take a look at my News Stand where you'll see live updated links to everything I publish and maybe subscribe to the weekly newsletter.
