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.

WEBMD is pretty much ecyclopedia for diseases, something you can use wikipedia for too.i think medical writer, would write something to be approvable or not by the insurance or billing.

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