Current and Future Trends of Content Generation Tools

Due to several limitations, it must be remembered that automation content generation is not a complete alternative to manual content generation and both must be made complimentary to each other in order to make the work more effective.

No content generation tool can replace the manual writing. In fact, it may not be possible to design such a tool that will completely replace manual writing because efficiency of a tool depends on the efficiency of algorithm based on which the tool is designed. However, the content generation tools that we use now are better than the tools that we used in the past and the tools that we will use in future will certainly be better than the tools that we use now. Of late, developers started focusing on developing context sensitive algorithms, which can prepare content according to the context. Developers started focusing on developing effective and context sensitive algorithms.

·   Employers usually do not encourage and allow their employees to use auto content generation tools until its usage becomes mandatory and unavoidable due to situational and strategic issues, because of bad quality of content created auto content generation tools.

·    Auto generated content is used usually by Search Engine Optimizers who require content in very short time and who give more importance to quantity rather than quality of content to improve its Search Engine Rank and web traffic. They may not be of much use to those who give higher importance to quality, rather than quantity.
