i heard it pretty much ruined some career of corporate writers, on certain subs, although i dont know the extent of it.
AI is like stealing a brick from everyone in your town to build your own house. As a medical writer it has absolutely destroyed my business.

Yeah. So medical writers have it really rough. I was making $100k+ last year. I just exhausted unemployment. The problem is that you can feed AI a list of approved claims and basically feed it a ton of examples and it gets 85% of the way there. Of course it’s ripping off our work to do that, but cash is king. I haven’t checked in a bit, but website traffic was down 90%. So, they essentially lost millions to save $100k.

Are we talking about pages like webmd?

More like a claims database. We relied a lot on PubMed, which hosts a wealth of clinical data, original research, case studies, systematic reviews, etc. I love PubMed. It’s the Brooklyn Bridge of peer-reviewed stuff.

And build it seeming convincingly well before it falls apart once a storm passes by.
