The root causes of sluggish wage growth for most workers are intentional policy decisions that have led to an extreme imbalance of power between employers and typical workers–technological advances, like AI, have little to do with this and are too frequently invoked as a distraction from these deeper problems.
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.
Maybe writing is different from programming then? For the past half century, that industry has been coming up with more and more advanced tools to automate the process. We don’t toggle in raw machine code programs and haven’t for a very long time. People there are very quick to jump on new tools.
I don’t think its THAT different though. Writers have their tools too. They have thesauruses, spell checkers, access to research papers perhaps. AI is just another one of those tools.
