Writers Already an Endangered Species, Survey Says

Nearly 70% of content marketers believe that many writers will lose their jobs to AI by 2028, according to a new survey from marketing agency BMV.

Even more chilling: 29% of those surveyed believe that all writers at their company will lose their jobs to ChatGPT and similar AI writers by 2028.

Observe BMV’s researchers: “Notably, the (survey) found that nearly 7-in-10 content marketers believe artificial intelligence will replace writers on their teams over the next five years.

“However, this group was split on whether AI will replace only junior-level writers (40%) or all of their current writers (29%).”

So much for the saccharine promise — oft-voiced by some AI evangelists — that: ‘AI is not a job threat. Instead, AI will free-up writers to engage in more creative and rewarding tasks.”

That promise is being seen by increasing numbers of writers as little more than a shiny object some AI evangelists want you to focus on as your writing job disappears.

Unless, of course, you consider flipping burgers ‘more creative and rewarding work.’

In-Depth Guide: Kopify AI: LearnWire says this tool is perfect if you’re looking to instantly add a number of helpful tools to the automated writing software you’re using from OpenAI — including GPT-4.

Essentially, Kopify AI — crammed with tools — is an interface designed to make it easier to work with automated writing software from OpenAI.

Key features of Kopify AI include:

~Unlimited outline creation

~Unlimited documents

~Limitless content generation

~One-click export to WordPress

One caveat: You need direct access to OpenAI’s GPT-4 to use Kopify AI — which is different than having access to ChatGPT.

*WritingGPT: Five-News-Jobs-in-a-Box: Writer Thomas Smith has put together an experimental writing-team-in-a-box using automated writing engine GPT-4 and similar AI.

While the articles WritingGPT produces are — by their very nature — highly generalized (they’re auto-generated simply by using a Prompt for ChatGPT and a single keyword) the articles nonetheless still rank on Google, according to Smith.

Included in the software’s virtual AI ‘team’ is a virtual copywriter, editor, SEO pro, photo editor and graphic design and layout editor.

All told: That’s five editorial jobs.

*ChatGPT and Chill: New AI-Powered Tool for Automated Newsletters On-The-Way: NeuralNews is readying release of an AI-powered tool that automatically writes and produces a newsletter — based on curated news and articles.

The tool — which uses ChatGPT — also publishes the newsletter in the user’s preferred formatting style.

And it homes-in on the user’s preferred audience when selecting news and articles to curate.

Currently, beta testers for Neural News’ automated newsletter service are paid $29/month.

*Bill Gates: AI Will Ultimately Teach Children to Read and Write in 18 Months: Add Bill Gates to the list of heavyweights who believe ChatGPT and similar will be a boon to students learning to read and write.

Observes Gates: “If you just took the next 18 months, the AIs will come in as a teacher’s aide and give feedback on writing.

“At first, we’ll be most stunned by how it helps with reading, being a reading research assistant and giving you feedback on writing.”

Gates’ perspective differs wildly from those of some educators who are chagrinned that cheating high school and college students are using AI writers to do homework and compose essays.

*Capitol Hill’s Latest Hire: ChatGPT: Who would have thought the U.S. Congress would have gotten hip to ChatGPT so quickly?

Turns out, the U.S. House staff is experimenting with how to use ChatGPT in government and has subscribed to 40 ChatGPT Plous accounts — the AI tool’s most sophisticated version right now.

Users are planning to test-out ChatGPT Plus on:

~generating constituent response drafts and press documents

~summarizing large amounts of text in speeches

~drafting policy papers or even bills

~creating new logos and related graphics

*New AI Script Alchemist: ‘We’ll Turn Text Into Video Gold:’ Hour One has rolled-out a new AI-powered tool that auto-creates videos from text Prompts.

Dubbed ‘Video Wizard,’ the tool auto-generates a script from your text Prompt — and then goes on to auto-generate a video from that script.

Observes writer Eric Hal Schwartz: “Video Wizard users can edit the script, rewording or changing its length, switch it to a first-person perspective, and play with tone options.”

*New Version of ChatGPT Promises to Shield Business Secrets: ChatGPT maker OpenAI is developing a business version of the tool designed to protect the data privacy of business users.

Essentially, the new version will enable users to prevent ChatGPT from using their business data to train on.

Instead, ChatGPT Business will be programmed –by default — to ignore business data when it comes to training purposes.

*ChatGPT’s Frugal Frenemy: HuggingChat: AI-for-the-everyman research group Hugging Face has released a free, open-source alternative to ChatGPT.

Dubbed ‘HuggingChat,’ the new tool is in the formative stages and still has a number of “limitations,” according to Peter van der Putten, director of the AI lab at Pega.

Long-term, some open-source advocates see HuggingChat as potentially developing into an alternative platform for a myriad of AI plugins, according to writer Sharon Goldman.

*AI Big Picture: Scramble-Lympics: Execs Dash To Embrace ChatGPT: U.S. Big Business is scrambling to play catch-up on the AI revolution, according to a new survey of top business executives from KPMG.

Specifically, 65% of those surveyed said AI will have a high or extremely high impact on their organizations in the next three-to-five years.

But nearly 60% admitted that they are still a year-or-two-out from implementing ChatGPT or AI similar to ChatGPT.

Most telling: 68% of corporate captains surveyed said they have not appointed a central person or team at their businesses to respond to the wild popularity of ChatGPT and similar AI.
