I swear, almost 75% of my job is "editing" AI content anymore. My clients hand me poorly written AI slop and tell me to "clean it up." Why don't they just let me create unique copy for them in the first place? I have over 15 years of experience, I know what I'm doing.

They don’t want to pay what 15 yrs experience deserves.

A good start would be learning how to use the word “anymore” properly.

it's a regional dialect, I'm guessing

Because they pay for you hourly, and doing that would take longer. And, because they don’t really know the difference between good and bad copy (but think they do)

smart

Edit and you will be editor and edited just the same.

Some want credit for the idea and don’t want to believe someone can do it better.

It’s not censorship.

The difference between good and great.

If it’s not award winning content, and just daily digital garbage, just take the paycheck and don’t think too much about it. We just “designed” a deck template for our client. I use quotations because they made so many stupid decisions and requests that took it from something really nice to total shit over the course of two weeks. But it wasn’t worth protesting. It’s not going in my portfolio. Not public facing. In this scenario, we just wanted the client to have a great experience. So I took the paycheck. Some of our job is just straight up customer service.

Just edit it so much that it’s your own. And better.
