FAQ

Do you use AI in your services? 

Yes, we strategically integrate AI tools into our technical writing process where appropriate to enhance efficiency and quality.  

What types of AI tools do you use? 

Depending on the job, we may use a range of cutting-edge AI tools for monitoring, summarising, data analysis, research, SEO optimisation, audio and visual editing, and accessibility checks. 

Does using AI mean the content will be generic? 

No. Our experienced technical writers provide the strategic direction, subject matter expertise, and creative input. They carefully review, edit, and refine all content to ensure accuracy, clarity, and a consistent brand voice to ensure content is never generic.  

AI helps us streamline certain tasks, such as transcribing interviews, allowing our writers to focus on higher-level aspects like strategy, audience understanding, and complex technical writing tasks. 

How do you ensure the accuracy of AI-generated content? 

Our writers meticulously fact-check and verify all information, regardless of its source. We also employ rigorous quality assurance processes, including multiple rounds of review and editing.   

We use AI as a tool to improve efficiency, not a replacement for human oversight. 

My AI checker has flagged some copy – what does this mean? 

It’s important to remember that AI detection tools are not always accurate and can produce false positives.  

These tools often rely on identifying patterns and statistical probabilities in text. 

Professional copywriters and journalists can sometimes trigger AI detection tools due to several factors: 

  • Skilled writers should produce text that is grammatically correct, well-structured, and flows logically – which are characteristics that AI models are trained to emulate. This can lead to false positives 
  • Professional writing often prioritises clear and concise language. This can sometimes resemble the output of AI, which is designed to generate straightforward and easily understandable text 
  • Journalists, copywriters, and writers at WiseOnWater often follow specific style guides (e.g., The Guardian, AP Style) and industry conventions. This can result in writing that is flagged by AI detection tools as too ‘formal’, but is suitable for some channels and audiences 
  • Sophisticated AI systems learn and refine their understanding of language, terminology, and writing styles directly from the extensive body of technical writing available online – including copy written by professionals at WiseOnWater – who have decades of experience writing about the water sector. Ironically, the occasional AI flag is a byproduct of the large language models (LLMs) learning directly from our high-quality, human-authored technical writing
