LLM text generation has been good enough, for 2+ years, to deliver coherent, average, passable writing. I have never, ever, read AI text and been like, “holy shit this is an amazing writer”, but it’s easily on the level of a generic webpage or whatever. If you had told me that a couple years ago, I would have assumed there would be mass layoffs of copywriters by now. It makes perfect sense to me that a major ad firm wouldn’t use AI for an expensive campaign or whatever, but if you’re some small to mid size company that just needs to churn out generic copy for your website, employee trainings, announcements, whatever…. Why hasn’t this happened? AI is very good at generating generic text, and some jobs entail the generation of generic text. Plenty of companies are cheap and shortsighted and don’t give a shit about their employees. So what gives? (To be very clear, I am GLAD there haven’t been layoffs. It just seems like an interesting wrinkle to continual drumbeat that white collar work is doomed and all that) submitted by /u/FleetBroadbill
