The wording may be different, but the underlying content is not.\nWhat's more... Anthropic just announced an AI watermark similar to Gemini's SynthID, and other LLMs are sure to follow suit. Soon, All AI-assisted content will be easy to spot everywhere it's published.\nThis creates a fundamental problem.\nIf your AI tools are grounded in the same public information available to everyone else, they will produce variations of what already exists. Publishing faster will simply help you create more interchangeable content.\nThat content will struggle to earn attention, trust, links and citations—whether the reader is a human, Google or a large language model (LLM).\nThe alternative is high information gain content.\nHigh information gain content gives the reader something genuinely new: an expert observation, original data, a customer insight, a tested methodology, a detailed case study, a contrarian conclusion or evidence that advances the existing conversation.\nBut information gain cannot be manufactured through prompting alone.\nIt must be grounded in proprietary knowledge.\nThat means building a structured knowledge base containing the information your business knows but the wider internet does not:\n- Interviews with subject-matter experts\n- Customer questions, objections and buying language\n- Original research and internal data\n- Case...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/7cDHOTKwTPJbamMzkSU5XMeYqbfRSPk5nMQ6zhbTeaI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kY2Ri/MGIyZjViNzJiODc5/ZGM5MmJhYmE4NmYx/MTVhYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
