Comment on AI in Australian workplaces: Michael used AI to write a work email. It ended up costing him $2000
goodthanks@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoThe major leap is the devaluing of human work, but instead of coming after material craftsmanship, like shoe making and cabinet making etc., it’s coming after abstract thinking. Copy writers are fucked for example. We will accept the inferior product because we have no choice. And yet we have to fight for a job to exist as those jobs becomes scarcer. I think if David Graeber was still around he would have a bullshit jobs 2.0 book out expanding on this.

I think CopyWriting is an under appreciated art form.
I had an apprentice that was moonlighting doing contract CopyWriting for a large advertising conglomerate.
First he tried writing himself, then he outsourced to India, then he used ChatGTP, finally, he just submitted nonsensical Lorem Ipsum text. He still got paid and still kept getting contracts.
I think this is more critical about the Advertising industry than CopyWriters.
