Writers of all types. Not a complete replacement but if you can get away with half as many + AI, that’s substantial savings.

- __loam 2y agoI'm skeptical that AI can actually replace writers like ai people seem to think it can. In marketing, I don't think the actual writing is really that much of the cost compared to paying Google and meta and serve the ad, unless you're doing something crazy like fully personalized ads, which I'm not convinced are actually better considering for creepy they are. For writing a novel, I've not heard of any books that are mostly written by AI that people actually want to read and most authors I've seen speak about it seem to hate the technology. And again, the unit economics and market make me think it makes more sense to invest in making a better novel than trying to pump out ai garbage in a winner take all situation. I don't really get it for technical documentation either, where the thing you're really trying to get across is human understanding. The point is not to just pump out garbage, it's too actually understand something than translate that understanding into words. I'm not convinced LLMs can do that right now. The one area I've seen it work great for in meeting transcripts and summaries, but that's not a convincing use case if you're losing money every time a user uses the service.
