Using GPT-3 to Write Technical Blog Posts

okay i'm going to do a quick little screen cap of how you might use gtp3 to generate an article about a technical topic and you know theoretically you could use this technique to fill up your blog with content that was of a relatively low quality i think a more realistic use case would be to kind of augment your own work as a writer and this is something i've been kind of playing around with it's basically like giving ggb3 some a starting point for articles and then trying to help help it along my son joe wants to call out he's going to be involved in this video but only in in vocals so i'm going to start off here in ahrefs so let's say for example you wanted to have an article write an article it ranks for types of api let's say okay so this is a pretty typical workflow for a lot of seos it would basically find a keyword that they want their article to rank for they would want something with relatively high volume so 450 searches a month is pretty good and relatively low difficulty so 15 difficulty is a kind of relative scale that ahrefs uses to help define like how hard it would be to rank for this uh and it kind of tells you that like you would need 17 websites to rank in the top 10 for this keyword um so you need some backlinks uh but but let's just say you want to create the content first and um it'll give you some keyword ideas it gives you the top results from search engines and so this is helpful for kind of looking at what types of api are other people mentioning so i'll kind of look at those articles real quick this one is the top result they have a video so that's probably helping their search engine ranks they have some types of apis it's a lot of lists and links it's not a really deep article uh but it links to a lot of things so it maybe it's like being linked back to it's kind of link hub or something the other one here the second one is types of api and popular rest api protocol so this goes into a bunch of different api types i think uses some of the same types not a super long article either um so you know maybe we don't have to to write something super detailed or long to do this i think as i look at this what i might want to do if i were really trying to rank uh in the top tier for something like this is i would have i would start off with like listing the types of api and for each one i would include maybe some examples of you know these kinds of apis and like how developers might use them or um access them and things like that but i don't know whatever it is just a demo anyway so let's start off with a tool called shortly which is built on gtp3 and with shortly it's like made for writing stories but it works actually pretty well for blog posts i think gtp 3 is a general purpose enough tool so what you can do is give it a story background so i wrote in a little explanation of what an api is and what i want to tell this is basically a brief like i would write give to a writer so an api is a tool used in programming that allows two computers or programming languages to communicate um in this article will tell readers about the different types of api and how they might use each of them male 1 adds something like we'll include examples of each type of api covered okay so to start off like gtp 3 gets better the more content you give it and so uh this is pretty sparse i'm giving it this background i'm giving it the title called the types of api and application programming interfaces are and then it's i'm going to let it start so let's see what it comes up with for a definition of application programming interfaces now keep in mind i kind of gave it one over here but it's not going to reuse that um so it actually is going to come up with its own unique definition based on reading content on the internet so application programming interfaces short api are one of the most important features of any programming language they allow programmers to connect to external sources easily in order to handle things like creating graphics manipulating the web browser and manipulating hardware like file system there are six main types of api that are usually covered by computer science programs wow so it up front has decided there are six types of api i don't know what those are we'll see as we go any programmer should be familiar with these types of apis without them programming might be very difficult okay so i mean this is not exactly like you know the the world's best writing in ever but um let's kind of see what it comes up with so the first type of api is [Music] you don't have to give it uh sort of pushes like that although i feel like it makes makes gtp 3 come up with better content if you give it a good sort of direction that you want to head in so the first type of api is called a serial port api this type of api allows programmers to easily manipulate serial ports which are serial based hardware to transfer data between two devices these can include devices like meister keyboard the serial port api is usually chosen by programmers who are working on a device like a laptop that has several users who might be using it at the same time so this is interesting it comes it's come up with serial port apis as its first type so it's pretty far off from what the top serp results uh have decided are the types of api so this one covers open api partner api internal and composite this one also i think it covers those same types so web apis open api internal api partner api composite uh so and then the the different methods of apis i think this one is very similar so honestly like if you're from a search engine perspective you almost if you're doing seo work you almost always want to look at what the top results are doing and sort of expand on them or do what they're doing so you don't want to go off in completely different direction like gtb 3 has done here but they didn't know that it didn't know that so one way to correct it is to start by giving it something uh to go on so the first type of api is an open api open apis and then we'll let gtp3 do its thing and see what it comes up with here are designed to help programmers make it easier for other developers to use their code open apis allow for developers to create apis that are compatible with commonly used programming languages this means that programmers can build an application using these apis in less time this type of api is used in places where there's a large following of programmers like linux android and windows okay that makes sense so now we've got our um uh we're gonna just put in some headers here just for future use so open api and then like uh several so examples of an open api include and then we'll see what it comes up with the opengl which helps programs build games in the jquery library these are both libraries that focus on certain types of programming commercial api so it's already moved on to the next type of api and it kind of picked up that i'm writing in markdown which is pretty amazing to be honest i mean i am uh like i i didn't tell it this is not a markdown based editor it just picked that up and uh it sort of has moved on to that so these are more common commercial and so it picked up the next kind of api which is commercial which is basically what a partner api is so it's not that much different from here and then let's kind of say like an example of a company with a commercial api is and see what gtp3 comes up with here microsoft microsoft has an api called the mappy mail api that allows users and developers to interact with microsoft mail this api's partnerships with software companies like mozilla to help them use this api in their own programs so this is pretty amazing it's just come up with an example i have no idea if this is true i think i would fact check uh gtp3 before i publish this on the internet but you know that's fair so then it gave us closed api so it's already moving on in the next example again are controlled by the company that made them closed apis are allowed commercial quality apis they're not free for consumers um a common example of a closed api is the google maps api microsoft is often forced to use it instead of their own because it has better mapping features and is used by a lot of online websites and apps like google maps no one outside of google is allowed to use these apis without the permission of google i don't know how that's different from a commercial api but you know we'll let g23 live its life embed apis are used in physical devices let's see what if we don't give it anything else and just see what it keeps coming up with here and so it already knows that the second thing we want in each of these sections is an example so this is pretty amazing too because you know a lot of times when i'm writing outlines for for writers i find that i give them basically okay for each type of api you're going to feature you're going to include what it is an example and maybe you know an image or something like that ggb3 has picked that up on my pattern there and is already including that so what are we up to one two three four types of api let's just keep let it keep rolling see if it comes up with uh with more good stuff here applied apis um this is interesting i don't yeah this is stuff i i don't even know i i'm not i've never heard that term applied apis capabilities of apis so now it's kind of moved on i think from our uh our first section here one two three four five and now it's into a whole new area of capabilities of apis so um it's really it's not like you know it's obviously not thinking for itself but it gives you this feeling that like it's kind of coming up with stuff um so let's give it let's kind of keep giving this thing some more structure because the more structure we give it and the more um uh let's call this five types of developer api [Music] and up here it sort of gave us six before we're just gonna go with these five just for the sake of brevity um and then i'm gonna kind of like uh actually you know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna have it do a very short paragraph right here about the five types of developer api before we list them off see if it comes up with something good oh now it thinks it's uh no maybe not so okay um let's just keep going then so the next thing it's it's talking about us is capabilities of apis so that's interesting let's see what it does with that topic okay so it's telling us about the capabilities of apis um what else might we include about apis like uh cost of apis let's see if it comes up with anything here uh you know this doesn't really make much sense the cost of an api is not very costly as apis are made for a good cause apis are only expensive when they're unnecessary they're usually inexpensive because they're often useful to programmers um yeah so i don't know that this would do us much good um let's cut that uh let's see what happens when we do in conclusion and let gtp3 finish out the article okay so it gave us a little conclusion of this article so um this is you know we've gotten 665 words which might be the bare minimum for something that is like decent for search engines uh in real life i would probably you know go through this and do quite a bit of heavy editing i mean this is a pretty rudimentary uh article to be honest but it's really interesting to see it uh pick up on things and figure out patterns from from things that it's written and uh it's kind of cool i mean i i could definitely see using this to help uh get maybe like a a new article started or get a new section to an article started kind of get me unblocked maybe or as a way to just i could maybe see it as a starting point and then you could sort of take this and build off of it i could see it also maybe for some less technical articles um you know maybe i'll try like publishing some gtp3 articles on my personal site just to see after i clean them up and see if i can get them to to rank or if they actually are any good and people can tell the difference um i have a feeling that people will be able to tell the difference especially if they're this short and sort of like uh i don't know light on content but uh it would be kind of fun
