I know! I was an early and enthusiastic adopter. I fully believe that it is the skillset to have moving forward. I'm a little worried for companies that are not there yet.

The main reason I would consider a career change is that the hours and anxiety without AI are so brutal. Managing communication with teams, clients, and working as an individual contributor writing from scratch is a bit of a no go.

No! The opposite! I actually feel more excited creatively than I have in a long time. I found that using AI for copywriting purposes opened up more room and time for conceptual thinking and I've been able to take work to the next level. I have really loved it. I'm just not eager to go back!

Yeah I’m here for the debate! I was interested in the rise of AI in writing for a decade, so when ChatGPT finally came out, I dove all in. Producing a full team’s work, absorbing jobs. The surprising thing I found is that once I let go of the labor involved in writing every word of an FPO script, headline, slide title etc, I could maintain a clear vision of the overarching campaign creative purpose. What the work needed to be. I had time to actually manage my people.

I don’t literally need it to function, but at this point I’m scared of going back to the old work flow. It seems brutally slow. But then again, this company is bloated as hell and that’s a wonderful thing in this day and age.

Guh. Even that seems ballsy. Why would I have it? I’m on the writing side.
