When the AI boom began, copywriters were singled out as one of the jobs most vulnerable to AI. Now, three years later, I wanted to hear from workers on the frontlines of the industry, to hear what had actually taken place on the ground.
For many, it was even worse than they'd feared.

I heard stories from copywriters who had to move back home with their parents. Staff copywriters whose work has all but been turned over to AI, and no longer have anything to do. Others are trying to retrain for a new career in their 50s. One shared that they had been pushed into sex work.

Replace all the copywriters with AI, they said.
Make the ones who remain use AI, they said.
It'll save so much money, they said.

Already hearing lots of anecdotes of 3d modelers losing all their gigs, just like the copywriters did a year or two ago. This doesn't kill all animation, but if you talk to people who do light youtube animation, they will tell you upping quality has no effect on views. This is good enough.

As was true with the translators I heard from in an earlier edition, copywriters never felt that they were being replaced because the AI's work was better. It was almost always worse. It was simply cheaper and faster, and deemed "good enough" by clients.

This how they did in my team in Jan. They kept them long enough to train bots, then fired them. I'm currently surviving doing work of 4 people, at breakneck pace.

The only part of the news that's routinely third party fact checked are magazine stories. Newspapers got rid of fact checkers and copywriters and book writers have to pay for it themselves
ok i have another quote tweet prompt. what's something, big or small, related to your job or hobby, that most people don't know that you would like to have them know? it can be a concept, a piece of history, some vocabulary, or something else.

Many copywriters were offered reduced rates to edit AI-generated copy. Others who still did have jobs said that the work has lost much of its meaning; it's been sped-up and automated into busywork.
