AIthority warns that if you’re a writer who ignores AI writing tools, you’re signing you’re own death sentence.

Observes writer Ori Goshen: ” AI won’t replace writers.

“But the writers who use AI will replace the writers who don’t.”

Goshen envisions a perfect world in which writers and AI tech will forever collaborate together in harmony.

“As the machine learning tech develops, writers will be able to spend less time on the writing aspect of the process and more on deep thinking – honing their creativity and crafting unique perspectives.

“Writers with innovative ideas in content writing will be the ones who will benefit from this inevitable shift in the industry.

“And the world will benefit from their ideas — expressed with clarity and concision.”

As a man much wiser than me once said: “Wouldn’t it be lovely.”

*WriteSonic: In-Depth Guide: Marketing Island offers a step-by-step, upbeat walk-through on AI writer Writesonic in this 8-minute video.

The tool is successfully used to auto-generate an okay-sounding, 800+ word article in just minutes.

Plus, Writesonic is also used to auto-generate a piece of marketing copy in the commonly used AIDA format (Attention, Interest, Desire and Action), also in just a few minutes.

Bottom line: A pro writer would probably be loathe to sign his/her name to the copy generated.

The reason: It reads well enough, although it sounds extremely derivative.

But in terms of generating a quick draft that can be easily massaged and polished — not bad.

*Top AI Writing Firm Launches Free Auto-Writer for Social Media: In a bold move sure to help popularize its AI writing tech, Anyword — a market leader — has released a new tool that auto-generates social media posts for free.

By following a few simple steps, users can work with the tool to auto-create posts of up to 600 words for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and other social media networks.

Unlike many other AI writers, Anyword predicts how well its auto-created copy will land with readers — based on how well similar copy succeeded previously.

*AI’s Transformation of Copywriting Already Underway: Online pub ReadWrite predicts AI-generated writing is poised to completely remake the copywriting industry.

Observes writer Ali Faagba: “As these tools get better and better, the need for freelance content writers will drop significantly.

“And writers who would do well would most likely be those who know how to collaborate with these tools.

“Social media managers (who write short posts) are the worst hit.

“If anyone is likely to be out of a job sooner because of AI writing, it’s likely to be the social media managers and (social media) content creators.”

*AI Editing Powerhouse Adds ‘Tone Rewrite’ Tool: Users of one of the most popular AI editors on the market — Grammarly — can now transform the tone of a sentence with the click of a button.

Observes Mac Sources: “A recent Grammarly survey shows that 93% of professionals struggle to convey the right tone in their written communications, impacting the ability to build strong personal connections that are essential for successful teams.

“Grammarly’s tone rewrite suggestions address this by identifying instances where a user’s tone may not land well and offering alternative suggestions to rewrite entire sentences.”

*Facebook’s Parent Company Releases Prototype Text-to-Video Creator: One-upping the current hoopla over text-to-art creators, Facebook parent Meta has rolled-out a prototype tool that auto-generates short videos by using a few words of text input.

Observes writer Devin Coldewey: “The results are impressive and varied, and all — with no exceptions — slightly creepy.

“Previous text-to-video systems used a different approach and the results were unimpressive, but promising.

“Now Make-A-Video blows them out of the water.”

*Google Releases Prototype Text-to-3D Art Creator: In yet another victory for what Silicon Valley is calling ‘generative AI,’ Google has developed a prototype text-to-3D art creator.

The software works like many generative AI tools: Input a few words of what you’re looking for, push a button and voila — what was in your mind is now rendered in the real world.

Observes Maggie Harrison: “It’s unclear when DreamFusion — or whatever comes next — will be available to the public, though we can definitely see a number of applications already.

“Just think of the value to indie game developers alone!”

*Associated Press: Some Automated Financial Reporting Now Goes ‘Straight to Wire:’ AP, an early adopter of AI-generated news stories, has confirmed some of its auto-generated finance reporting now goes ‘straight to wire’ — without any checking by editors.

The revelation surfaced in a news story on AI and the media by the PressGazette and was attributed to Aimee Rinehart, program manager for AI, AP.

The data for AP’s automated news stories — company earnings updates that are furnished by businesses and corporations — populate news story templates prefabricated by AP, which in turn are then released over the AP Wire.

Despite AP’s decision to bypass editor-and-writer-oversight on the automated news stories, Reinhart insists the AI tech poses no threat to job security for editors or writers.

*AI Writing Wunderkind Seeks More Funding from Microsoft: OpenAI — inventors of GPT-3, the supercomputer-driven autowriting engine that powers many of today’s AI writing apps — is looking for more money from Microsoft.

OpenAI’s chances look good: Back in 2019, an extremely impressed Microsoft invested $1 billion in the company.

Observe Berber Jin and Miles Kruppa, writers for the Wall Street Journal: “The new cash could help bankroll the tremendous computing power OpenAI needs to run its various artificial intelligence products on Azure, Microsoft’s cloud computing service.”

*AI Big Picture: AI Fake Interview of Steve Jobs “Shockingly Convincing:” In yet another example of how AI is being used to blur reality with fantasy, a fake interview featuring Steve Jobs — created with AI — is being characterized as “shockingly convincing.”

The fake meet surfaced as a podcast from Play.ht, featuring Joe Rogan ‘talking’ with Steve Jobs — 11 years after Jobs’ death.

Play.ht has also used AI to clone the voices of Tom Hanks, Kevin Hart and former U.S. president John F. Kennedy.
