Also, Chat GPT at least still writes at the level of a somewhat talented ninth grader. Its prose is stilted, and the way it structures essays and stories is super formulaic.
It's absolutely not at the level it can replace a talented human writer yet. (I have no doubt that day is coming, probably sooner than we think, but it's not here yet.)
So publishers making the switch will see the quality of their content drop, and with it the number of clicks / revenue they get. Enough to offset the salaries of all the writers they fired? Probably depends on the publication. For clickbait farms, probably not, but the higher quality the readers are used to the more the publishers stand to lose.
It doesn’t commit to anything either, its writing is absolutely full of weasel words and a detached perspective.
doesn't the average american read at a 6th grade level or something?
Writing is harder than reading. For example, compare the writing in a children's book to something written by a child
54% (130 million) Americans read BELOW the equivalent of a 6th grade level.
A lot of the reason for this is chronic underfunding of K-12 ESL programs in southern states and California.
I've been to Destructoid. They don't hire talented human writers. They barely hire human writers.
