Geo Pulse #60 — AI-drafted vs native-written content, by GEO tier and intent

Geo Pulse #60 — AI-drafted vs native-written content, by GEO tier and intent
Theme: where 'just generate it' is fine and where it quietly tanks trust.

— Informational/long-tail in Tier-1 English → AI draft + light human edit is defensible; the volume play works when a human checks facts and adds firsthand detail.
— Any money/YMYL page → native or expert-reviewed regardless of GEO. AI in a regulated vertical is a liability, not a shortcut.
— Non-English Tier-2/3 → AI output reads 'translated-robot' to natives even when grammatically clean; use it for scaffolding, never as the shipped voice. A cheap in-market editor beats a better prompt.
— Ad hooks and CTAs in any GEO → human. Idiom, humor, and cultural reference are exactly where models are weakest and CTR is decided.

Rule: let AI handle structure and breadth; let a native handle tone and trust. Splitting the labor beats picking a side.
