Blew $150 on that AI content writing tool everyone raves about

Two months in and it generated nothing but generic fluff I had to rewrite anyway, plus the plagiarism checker caught it copying whole paragraphs from a 2019 blog. Is there actually a use case for these things or is it all just hype from affiliate marketers?

My buddy spent $200 on one of those and after a week it spat out a "press release" about his dog walking business that was just the history of dog domestication from Wikipedia. He tried to use it for a blog post about local hiking trails and it told him to "visit the majestic forests of Scandinavia." Total waste of cash, he canceled within the trial period.

What @the_margaret said about the dog walking press release is just painful. These tools really do seem to have no clue what they're talking about once you get past the most basic stuff. I wasted that same $150 and got nothing but a headache from rewriting everything it spat out. The whole thing felt like a scam where the only people making money are the ones selling the hype. Even the free version of something like ChatGPT can write better than that paid tool ever did. It's just affiliate marketers pushing garbage on people who don't know any better.
