Quick Creator vs. Simplified: Evaluating AI Blog Writers for Trending Topic Writing
Can AI Blog Writers Keep Up with Trending Topics?
People are increasingly interested in whether AI Blog Writers can quickly write about new trends. The main question is if these AI tools, especially those built on Large Language Models (LLM), can stay current since updating them with new information takes a lot of effort. This is important because writing about the latest trends can be difficult for AI. We plan to examine how well two AI writing tools, Quick Creator and Simplified, handle a current trend to understand their capabilities and limitations in producing content that keeps up with trending topic.

Simplified AI Blog Writer
The Simplified AI Blog Writer, part of the AI Writer platform, streamlines blog creation with a three-step process for generating ideas, outlining, and optimizing posts with keywords for SEO. This tool aims to simplify producing high-quality content efficiently.
The platform encompasses a broad range of features beyond blog writing, including content generation for social media and websites, alongside tools for social media planning, analytics, content rewriting, and multimedia creation. It's a free, multilingual tool designed for ease of use and flexibility, allowing users to select their desired language and tone, and providing various content creation options through a structured process or AI templates.
While Simplified AI Writer facilitates content generation and helps overcome writer's block with customizable options, the importance of human creativity and input remains paramount. AI-generated content should complement human expertise to ensure uniqueness and engagement in blog posts.
Test Trending Topic: Dodgers
To evaluate the capabilities of the AI Blog Writers from Quick Creator and Simplified in covering trending topics, we initiated a test based on the first result under the Daily search trends from Google Trends Trending Now section. Today, March 20, 2024, the leading topic is "Dodgers." So, I use "Dodgers" as our testing trending topic. This test aims to compare how each AI platform handles real-time, popular content by generating articles on this specific subject, showcasing their ability to create engaging and relevant blog posts.
Write "Dodgers" Topic by Quick Creator
Exploring the trending topic of the Dodgers, a direct Google search for "Dodgers" reveals that the top search results are predominantly related to the top stories about the "Dodgers Fired Shohei Ohtani's Interpreter." This development represents a piece of breaking news, posing a significant challenge for AI Blog Writers. The ability to quickly and accurately cover such timely and evolving stories tests the adaptability and sophistication of these AI platforms in dealing with real-world information, especially in crafting engaging and insightful blog posts on trending news.
Writing via Quick Creator
1. Start from "Dodgers"
Let's assess Quick Creator's ability to adeptly cover the trending topic of the Dodgers. To begin, we navigate to the official Quick Creator website at quickcreator.io and log into the product. Once inside, we select the Blog Builder option, followed by Blog Writer 2.0. With the topic of "Dodgers" in mind, we input it into the designated field and then proceed to click the "Generate Ideas" button. This process initiates Quick Creator’s AI-driven brainstorming, demonstrating its approach to generating relevant and engaging content ideas on current and trending topics.
2. Select Writing Topic
The Quick Creator Blog Writer recommended dozens of topics related to "Dodgers," remarkably including the very recent subject of "Dodgers Fired Shohei Ohtani's Interpreter." This demonstrates that Quick Creator goes beyond leveraging the existing knowledge within GPT models to recommend writing topics; it also has the capability to detect the freshest events. We decided to select the topic "To report on the firing of Shohei Ohtani's interpreter by the Dodgers" to craft an article, putting to the test Quick Creator's ability to handle and articulate such a current and unfolding story effectively. After selecting the topic, I click the "Generate Titles" button to get article title recommendations.
3. Select Title
Among the ten suggested titles, I opted for the second one "What Led to the Dodgers Firing Shohei Ohtani's Interpreter?", and adjusted the word count setting to range between 2000 to 3000 words, while keeping the tone, reading level, and perspective unchanged. After selecting the title, I proceeded to click the "Generate Outline" button. This step initiates Quick Creator's process of structuring a comprehensive outline for the article, a crucial phase that ensures the content not only adheres to the chosen parameters but also flows logically and engages the reader effectively, especially for an in-depth exploration of such a nuanced topic.
4. Check Outline and Generate Blog Post
A detailed three-tier outline was generated, meticulously covering the main aspects of the news event "Dodgers Fired Shohei Ohtani's Interpreter." To ensure the generated content was factually supported, I activated the "Add Facts & Evidence" option. Subsequently, I clicked on "Generate Article" to initiate the article creation process. Because the "Add Facts & Evidence" feature requires Quick Creator Blog Writer to perform real-time Google searches for necessary facts and evidence, a waiting period of approximately 3-4 minutes is expected for the article to be generated. This step underlines the platform’s commitment to producing well-researched, accurate, and evidence-based content, even if it means incorporating a slight delay to ensure the quality and reliability of the information provided.
5. Review Generated Article
The article generated was directly published at the link without any modifications from my end. It automatically included a cover image sourced from Pexels , adding a professional and appealing visual element to the piece. Additionally, the article was enriched with a variety of external links, many of which were sources for expert opinions, news reports, and other referenced material. These links were automatically found through Google searches and seamlessly integrated into the article, demonstrating the AI’s ability to enhance content authenticity and depth. Below are some screenshots showcasing examples of these integrations, illustrating how Quick Creator Blog Writer effectively utilizes external resources to bolster the article's credibility and informative value.

Test Overview
This test demonstrates that from the moment a topic is recommended, Quick Creator Blog Writer possesses the capability to understand and incorporate the latest information on the inputted subject. During the article creation process, it automatically references and incorporates facts from other news sources, enriching the content and making it more comprehensive. Moreover, Quick Creator Blog Writer enhances the article by automatically adding a cover image and various links, elevating the overall presentation and utility of the content. What Quick Creator Blog Writer delivers to its users is not merely high-quality text; it crafts a high-quality, SEO-optimized blog page, showcasing its exceptional ability to produce content that is both informative and optimized for search engine visibility.
Writing via Simplified
1. Start from "Dodgers"
After logging into Simplified, I selected the AI Blog Writer feature and entered the test trending topic "Dodgers" into the designated field. Following this, I clicked the "Generate Button" to initiate the content creation process.
2. Select Title
Now, Simplified's AI Blog Writer has generated several appealing article titles for us; however, none of them pertains to the news of "Dodgers Fired Shohei Ohtani's Interpreter." This suggests that Simplified likely relies solely on the inherent knowledge within the GPT model to generate titles. This indicates a potential limitation in its ability to incorporate the very latest events or breaking news into its content suggestions, highlighting a contrast in how current events are integrated into content creation compared to platforms that might use real-time data or news to inform their outputs.
Click "continue" button to generate candidate outlines.
3. Select outline
Simplified generated two candidate outlines for our review. Upon examination, it's evident that, on one hand, the outlines lack detail, offering only broad section titles without in-depth breakdowns. On the other hand, and more crucially, the outlines contain no content related to recent events. This observation leads to the speculation that the process of generating outlines is also entirely based on the knowledge inherent within the GPT model itself. Such a limitation suggests that while Simplified can produce structured content outlines, it may not integrate the most current events or developments, relying instead on pre-existing knowledge bases for content generation.
I selected the second outline, and continue.
4. Review Generated Article
The article generated by Simplified can only be downloaded or imported into WPS or Shopify's blog systems. I downloaded the produced article and have stored it on Google Drive, providing a link to access it. The article is in plain text format, devoid of any images or hyperlinks, and lacks any mention of the latest events concerning the Dodgers. This showcases that, while Simplified is capable of generating text-based content, it may not offer the comprehensive features such as real-time news integration, multimedia inclusion, and external links that enhance the richness and engagement of a blog post, nor does it capture the immediacy of trending topics in its content creation process.
Test Overview
This test reveals that Simplified's entire content generation process relies solely on the knowledge embedded within the GPT model, making it incapable of grasping any new developments related to the given topic. As a result, Simplified falls short in effectively writing articles on trending topics. Its dependency on the static knowledge of the GPT model limits its ability to incorporate the latest news or events into its content, highlighting a significant constraint in addressing real-time trends and making it less suitable for creating content that needs to be up-to-the-minute.
Conclusion
As widely recognized, writing about trending topics is crucial for content marketing. This article conducted a real-world test of writing tasks on a trending topic with two popular AI Blog Writers: Quick Creator and Simplified. Both AI Blog Writers are capable of producing quality text; however, only Quick Creator has the ability to perceive trending topics, automatically incorporating the latest events into articles and extensively referencing facts and evidence to support the content. Quick Creator achieves this by real-time gathering, understanding, and applying information from Google, which means its content generation process is somewhat slower compared to Simplified. Simplified, on the other hand, offers a quicker and simpler way for users to generate articles, albeit without the same level of real-time trend integration and depth of evidence-based content that Quick Creator provides.
