Do you like writing? In a world where AI is so advanced that writers are no longer needed
AI writing tools like AI writing such as ChatGPT and Notion AI are becoming a hot topic. If you are a writer or someone who posts on note, there probably isn't a day that goes by without hearing about them.
Generating decent documents with simple prompts
Even automatically generating those prompts
And generating them infinitely
This is still just the beginning, and it is not hard to imagine that it will evolve dozens of times more in the future.
In such a situation, there are many days when I feel depressed, wondering if it is a waste of time to try to polish my writing skills.
Current AI has flaws in reliability and accuracy, making it difficult to upload generated text directly to media like note or blogs.
However, it can create 2,000-character articles that a beginner writer would spend half a day writing, over and over again in a short amount of time. I am incredibly anxious that it might soon start producing articles at the level of a mid-level writer.
People like me who want to earn money through side-hustle writing, and even more so those who make a living as writers, must be terrified.
Of course, there are things only humans can do, but I feel impatient.
AI writing is a threat, but there are things only humans can do.
Thinking about strategies and themes for content that has demand
Writing articles that consider the background, as AI is bad at reading context
Expressing sensibilities in writing that AI does not have
Appropriately correcting unnatural parts of AI-generated text
Many people are likely collaborating with AI tools to create articles by thinking about things like these.
However, aren't most people afraid that these tasks will also be replaced by AI in the near future?
If AI becomes capable of doing everything, what should we, who want to keep writing, do?
Before thinking about elements where humans can beat AI
I think from now on, it will be questioned whether you 'truly like to write'.
I think a harsh world awaits writers who don't want to write but do it because it seems profitable.
I write because I love writing and cannot stop.
I write because I have the desire to write.
I can write because I want to feel the joy of writing.
The joy when the structure clicks, the exhilaration when the response to a post grows, the sense of accomplishment after finishing writing.
It is because those emotions remain that I hit the keyboard.
Is the desire to write first, or the desire to earn money first?
With the development of AI, it will probably become harder for most writers to earn a living, but I want to write because I love writing and achieving even small results. I am happy when my posts get likes, followers, or comments.
I want to believe that only humans can move people's hearts.
The supreme happiness of 'reactions to the text I wrote'.
Wouldn't every day without that be boring and dull?
The reality and hope of writers
There is information that seems like hope, such as government regulations on AI or AI-driven writing methods, but I think the reality will cruelly take away the jobs of writers. Even so, we who continue to write and resist are endearing.
But I want to keep believing.
Even if writing jobs are devoured by AI, and even if it becomes almost impossible to earn a living by writing yourself, there will surely come a day when you can feel glad that you kept writing like a fool.
