Not to be flippant, but - be glad you’re not a writer, because you might not have a job at all.

- hshdhdhehd 1y agoThere are more writing jobs. Aka prompt engineers.
- keiferski 1y agoNo, not really. There is no such position, writing is just more becoming a part of a marketer’s job.
- red-iron-pine 1y agowhat is the average marketer going to do that AI can't? the LLM will parse tweets and emails and whatever else and can write it in a perfect, localized vernacular for whichever demographic you want to sell to. and it can do it in real-time, 24/7 at this point you're mostly a bot-herder or social-media-tool admin; the tools are doing the thinking.
- helicone 1y agowell, sonny, ur paw's had a long day at the farm the cursor-bots needed wranglin' after'n they got into the source code for node.js. yep, the linter's on the fritz now, too. i think ol' Jedadiah musta convinced it to act like jar-jar binks. well that jokester just cost us one. too bad we' can't fire'em. he's the only one knows how to turn the servers on. i'm gonna go sit on the porch and watch tiktoks for the rest of the night. you be a good boy and tell the OpenRoomba to do its chores.
- keiferski 1y agoyeah, that's not really how marketing works. Even if it did work that way, the best it gets you is the same outcome as everyone else following the same playbook. Which it not exactly a winning formula for a marketing strategy.
- andrei_says_ 1y agoFor people who care about quantity of words, maybe. For writing as an expression of meaningful thinking, and more so, as a tool for arriving at coherent understanding and thinking (the one that’d eventually produce the writing)… not so much. AI slop is slop.
- keiferski 1y agoOf course I agree with you, but do you think the average middle manager making hiring/firing decisions cares about this? All they see is someone expensive that ChatGPT can replace.
