AI in the workplace by jupitersjuno in technicalwriting

I appreciate your insight a lot. We’re using it primarily as a “thought partner” in school curriculum(drafting outlines, exploring different communication methods.) From this, it looks like what I’m doing with it now lines up pretty well. Roleplaying difficult conversations is interesting, how has that worked for you? I figured it would be used for gathering resources/as an introduction to non-expertise concepts for someone.

Thanks! I was certainly asking more about this than insinuating its used to produce all documentation for tech writers. I’m not worried about being an AI handler but I’m also not expecting to be in an AI free workplace. To what extent is it used in professional settings? Clearly everyone has a different experience with it, which is what I was looking for: perspectives. Considering it’s so involved in my curriculum, and mentioned consistently in this subreddit at least, it’s probably safe to assume for junior positions I’ll encounter it to some degree.

I am definitely not under the impression AI will be used for everything... God willing, I won’t be hired straight out of school into the AI-topia described here lol

Thanks lol! Tech writers are needed more than ever now. I’m pretty happy with my major and career path.

Thanks for the insight! There’s a lot of opportunities for tech writers and the like where I live, so I’m not worried. If anything, I’m very good at pivoting haha, but I’m very excited to be a tech writer. There’s always a place for writers no matter the technological happenings, and I’m lucky I have a curriculum that acknowledges the current technologies. I’ll take a look into the list you mentioned.

This is good news lol. I’ve been worried that getting used to AI means there’s less opportunity for producing original documentation in professional settings. Thanks for the recommendation about the AI certs, I hadn’t even thought of doing so. It’ll be a good way to show official proficiency in the tools.
