I spend an inordinate about of time correcting, or having other people correct, AI writing slop. I can’t speak for everyone, or every industry, but it sometimes causes more work than you’d imagine. I don’t see it replacing all jobs, I see it causing more work loads for people in existing ones.
That’s good to hear. I’m hoping they eventually realize AI is better suited for things that require less human ingenuity and creativity.
Just not sure how much longer they’re going to keep trying.

Yikes! Are we now doomed to feeling inferior to AI's 'perfect people' images? Human flaws be damned. The future is not imperfection-friendly. How the heck did we get here? And how do we fit into a fantasized world of perfect people that don't exist? I'm shook, to put it mildly. Ugh... 😳
I guess it’s affecting both sides?
As a seasoned copywriter, I'm bailing out and retraining in a new field. The end is nigh, unfortunately. Musicians, designers, photographers, and artists' work can all be created in AI within seconds for mere pennies now. It's time to find financial stability elsewhere IMO.
I saw the Gayle King interview with her. Those have to be faked streams. What real person is listening to that garbage?
I don’t really see AI “replacing” writing jobs, but the writing profession is drying up in the US for two main reasons:
1 - Hybridization. In the old days, copywriting and content writing used to be their own separate profession. But with the “less is more” philosophy of the modern American business landscape, that’s being phased out.
It’s not enough to be just a copywriter anymore. Now you also have to be an email automation expert, graphic designer, web developer, SEO specialist, UX designer, PR specialist, and project manager all rolled into one.
That’s why you see these marketing job descriptions that go on forever, with qualifications that are 2-3 pages long and require mastery of 50 different systems and 20 different writing styles. And now, being bilingual is also becoming increasingly mandatory.
2 - Creative marketing jobs are being increasingly sent overseas, particularly to countries like India, Nigeria, Vietnam, Pakistan, and The Philippines.
Why would a company pay an American worker $100K+ a year when an Indian, Nigerian, Vietnamese, Pakistani, or Filipino employee will do the same amount of work for $2 a day?
Look up any creative networking group in LinkedIn. 99% of their members are Indian, Nigerian, or Pakistani, with some Vietnamese and Filipinos sprinkled in for good measure.
And if you dare join any of those groups as an American, be prepared to get absolutely bombarded with connection requests from them. Why? Because they’re all looking for US citizenship, and they want you to recommend them for a job with an American company so they’ll get sponsored.
And the “copy tips” they post are absolutely nauseating. Full of broken English, misspellings, out of context quotes, grammatical mistakes that a first grader would make, etc.
One Indian guy posted, and I quote: “main key to great copy chance is feeling hot nodules and not make sale-ing (yes, he actually wrote “sale-ing”). It is about making hot connections that make persons want to do it.”
Another Pakistani dude wrote, and I’m not joking here: “NEVER announce products on sale or tell people how they can save money because it attracts cheap customers and a “loser” clientele base.” Yes. He actually wrote that, and then got mad and called me an “American pig humper” when I told him that was not a smart marketing strategy.
But you can’t call them out on it. I made that mistake once and got booted from the group because I was “being culturally insensitive” and “unprofessional” for “publicly embarrassing someone who is doing their best and just trying to help others.”
And companies wonder why they can’t attract and retain quality employees. This is what we’re up against. And companies don’t care if their work is grossly inferior. They’ll just run it through Grammarly or ChatGPT to fix the blatant mistakes, then send it off to the public.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw that. I was like “is this guys serious?”
AI is replacing literally zero jobs. As we’ve seen recently, it’s merely an excuse for unrelated downsizing.
I don’t know if it’s replacing jobs or not. We’ll see where we net out in a few years. But it’s definitely being used as an excuse for downsizing, merging, and cashing out for shareholders.
I don't think writers will be replaced. But we will be expected to work faster and increase our output using AI. That level of churn will be its own kind of hell but I guess it's better than being replaced altogether.
