The problem is that most copywriting is not and shouldn't be very creative. Often times it's just outsiders who know how to make public communication clear.

The sad part is that the managers deciding on using AI are the ones who rarely understand what is good public communication - that's why they were hiring someone to help them with it.

With AI they get some text that seems legit but the whole process of figuring out why&how is simply skipped. It might sometimes work but it's doubtful it builds knowledge in the organisation.

I'd argue this requires a great deal of creativity. It's how we got "1,000 songs in your pocket."

The problem is us, on the consumer side. We are in an era of content hyperinflation. That was true before AI became ubiquitous


You are right. I didn't want to undermine the line of work. It is creative. Better word word would be flair? fancy? Basically content that doesn't try to scream i am special.

It is actually quite hard to copywrite if you’re doing a good job.

Also firing people for a minimal bonus is always a lot of people are going to go for
