As a freelance writer, I have to admit, my palms are a little sweaty over this.
I’m talking about ChatAGT and Jasper AI, and others on the horizon. Yes, artificial intelligence.
Many of us are at great risk right now. Risk of losing out livelihoods. Risk to our small businesses. Risk of losing our audiences to computer-generated materials. Artists are pissed too. Some of them are actually suing!
This morning — I saw the first job posting. It went a little something like this:
Use AI to generate written content and upload that content to our WordPress. 5-8 articles (or more) daily. Pay is $2.00 per post.
Yikes.
Why would clients pay me $300+ per article if this bot-thing can do the work for me? For pennies?
Freelancers, artists, writers, creators (and readers!) — we are in trouble when it comes to AI. And we need to talk about how it affects us all moving forward.
Learn more about the threat of AI and join the conversation by clicking the free link below, published just this morning at Better Marketing publication.
Thanks for reading…and remember, we are all in this together!
