My CMO was introducing me to her boss recently and made a point to say that in the future I will be "leveraging AI to tailor the copy based on channel"... I know this is a big topic in terms of AI replacing copywriters, but should I be worried that it's happening sooner rather than later for me based on this comment? How are we combatting this? Are we switching careers? help.

What your CMO should worry about is that C-suites have such a hard-on to cut employee overhead and increase profit margins as quickly as possible that they’re willfully ignoring the OBVIOUS limitations of current AI copy systems and will be shooting themselves in the face as a result.

Fully-competent AI won’t be at the level it needs to be for another 5 years.

In the meantime though I’m already investigating going back to school for a complete career change to something in health care.

Just like PPT and canva make it possible for everyone to be a “designer” doesn’t mean designers have been eliminated. The good ones stand out even more and command more $ because of their skills. Same for copy.

Not over - just changing. My advice is to use this time to your advantage. Leverage it to become better, to build faster, and think higher level. The strategists will thrive. That has already happened in graphic and UX design

I keep getting recruiters asking to apply for new roles, which is what I thought I wanted because I’m not growing at my agency. But I’m so fatigued I don’t even know if I want to stay in advertising. Have y’all left or took a break to do something different? What did you do?

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”.
