Technically nothing ever gets written from scratch. Regardless of whether you're using a simple markov solution, or a neural network, you need a decent volume of high quality input text in order to get sufficient variation for markov stuff or to train your model for a NN. If you don't have a sufficiently large startup corpus, you're going to get way too much repetition and Google won't like it.

Theoretically you could pay writers for your input text but in real life if you have the technical chops to do text generation you're just going to scrape it.

If you want the cutting edge then look into GPT-3, although you will have to train your own model for adult stuff since none of the existing public models work very well for adult text.

To the guy saying that human writers are ultimately better than computers, bullshit. At least not a single person. Yes, obviously if you're writing single pieces of copy then a human will do the best job. But if you're doing SE content generation at scale, there's no way a human can get anywhere close to the variation of a computer. Unless you're writing super high quality content to go viral, manual writing doesn't scale nearly hard enough to make a dent in the serps.

In a past life I wrote about 3 million words for Pimproll, mostly for porn.com. After a while you realize you're just writing the same shit over and over again.
