Even the greatest writers sometimes struggle to come up with new ideas. At least, thatâs what Iâve heard. Luckily for them, a new AI Blog Idea Generator could sprinkle some inspiration onto their empty pages.
Just enter some keywords into the search bar and the system will analyze Googleâs top-performing content on the subject. It then runs the data through OpenAIâs vaunted GPT-3 text generator to produce a new idea.
The tool is targeted at content marketers on the hunt for blog posts that will rank highly on Google search. But I tested whether it could also help this humble hack to overcome his writerâs block.

Some of its creations were relevant but clichéd, while others were largely gibberish.
The toolâs creator Nikhil Aitharaju acknowledges that not every idea will be a winner:
It can admittedly go off the rails occasionally (as itâs an automated system), but the fact that you can generate more ideas in a click means that youâre bound to get a clever idea eventually!
Alas, he didnât invent the system solely out of the goodness of his heart. Users only get a limited number of free ideas before they have to upgrade to a paid subscription.
Thatâll probably put the tool out of reach for many journalists (*sniff*), but content marketers might be more willing to dig into their pockets.
Just donât expect the ideas to be anything too original. But at least you wonât have to think them up yourself.
