With AI running rampant, I have to imagine copywriters have been decimated.
I know one recently laid off. AI wasn’t explicitly the reason but his next job seems unlikely to be copyediting.
Got laid off last fall. SEO is already pretty much slop so it was the perfect industry for LLMs. It was already getting hard to find good content online because of all the garbage we were loading up with keywords to game search. Now with AI generating it 24/7 traditional search is just dead in the water.
Return-with-a-v for Yahoo! Directories.
Last night we were playing D&D and one of other players showed off a miniature character model he had generated with AI. "I'm glad I didn't go to school for 3D modeling", he says.
Guess what I took a bunch of classes for since the 1990s.
Whatever, my models all have more heart than slop. They can't afford me and I'm not making them free models anyways.
