    If you’re a good writer, don’t let your skills atrophy while everyone’s distracted by AI, and start now setting up a brand or platform to offer your services, whether they be writing, editing, research, etc.

    After the AI bubble bursts and there’s still intellectual work to be done, you’ll be well-positioned to charge up the ass.

      A good writer will be figuring out how to leverage this tech for themselves and make their own work more efficient and productive. Just like all the programmers are doing right now. AI is not going away. That is not an option. That’s like hoping the Internet “fad” goes away. Either prepare for it, or not and suffer for it, that’s the choice everybody is facing right now. Your colleagues are not going to not use a competitive advantage just because you won’t.

        Good writers (good anythings, really) focus on honing their craft and tackling new challenges, not trying to figure out how to use a specific technology to do things they already know how to do, for the sole purpose of using that technology.

        Let me address this to everyone. If the person you’re hiring is asking themselves, “How can I use AI to . . ?” and not “Would AI even help me to . . . ?” then they’re wasting your time and money.
