AI absolutely has its benefits, but it's impossible to deny the ethical dilemma in forcing writers to feed their work to a machine that will end up churning out a half assed version that also likely has some misinformation in it.

And will likely take their professions

I don't think so, at least for a little bit. Big cooperation will surely try to market it that way, but we've already seen how badly AI can shit the bed when it feeds on its own content

The trouble is that a fad doesn't have to be functional to be used by short-sighted trend chasers as a justification to make cuts. How many jobs did we see outsourced to India in a way that didn't even come close to matching the quality of the people laid off? The people who make the decision to replace jobs with ai systems will loudly declare success and move on to their next role before the long-term consequences are fully realized.
