If you write for the web you are in denial. In the next 5 years either you'll be using an AI tool that you gradually feed input to and edit the output or you'll be replaced by somebody that is doing just that.

I'm curious how informed your opinion is by the way. You say you're a writer but that doesn't mean much in this context since this technology is very new and most people aren't catching on yet. Have you tried out the recent tools like conversation.ai? Do you use tools like MarketMuse?

They already use AI and more straightforward techniques to write many articles for the Web, such as market reports. But for creative writing I'm less persuaded, especially when it's not like you have to pay through the nose for writers.

I think I should have been more specific, I was talking more about SEO copywriting than creative writing.

Writers aren't too expensive you're right - I pay $.04-.06 per word for the 10 that I employ. But depending on the scale, level of competition, and return potential bringing in more AI gets attractive and could be necessary at some point.

My point in my comment was just that if you're a writer and aren't paying attention to these new AI tools you could end up getting blindsided at some point or you might see your pay decrease and be left wondering why

Yes the problem is that I just don’t understand a how to use this fresh new innovative product that will sweep the world by storm with its ability to take the burden and hard work out of the whole writing process. If only I see the light through these amazing stupefying mind-befuddling product demos…

And no I do not write ad content for the web nor will I ever get a computer to write my feelings for me. Not in 5 years, not in 10 years, not whatever you tell your up-incoming investors. The fact that writing about personal grief and marketmuse are being equated as like things is rather disturbing, in a sociopathic/psychopathic sort of way.

Judging by all of these comments I believe I may just be in the wrong place and that hacker-news is no longer for people like myself.

I don't see how you could have possibly read the piece and come to that conclusion. The point of the article is not at all that the AI does a great job and makes it easy to write with no effort.

I wasn't asking if you watched a product demo I was asking if you'd actually used them. My company does, and they are greatly helpful to our writers.

I was talking about copywriting more than whatever it is you do so I should have been more clear. Good job rage quitting HN btw, hopefully you feel better today lol.

"The fact that writing about personal grief and marketmuse are being equated as like things is rather disturbing, in a sociopathic/psychopathic sort of way" MarketMuse doesn't write content so this just shows you don't know what you're talking about

You are quite sour and pretentious. This is why you suffer.
