AI is upending the freelance world
This is kind of baffling to me. I&#x27;m a <i>huge</i> fan of the usefulness of ChatGPT, and I&#x27;ve found ways to use it to improve my productivity in a bunch of areas, but if you&#x27;ve &quot;never hired a writer better than ChatGPT&quot;, I can only assume you&#x27;ve been hiring really shitty writers. Not necessarily that ChatGPT output is bad, but a lot of the copy has a similar, generic, &quot;college essay&quot; feel to it.<p>I saw this post on LinkedIn [1] that I think really nails it:<p>For anyone worried about how generative AI will make creative jobs obsolete, I asked Chat GPT to generate headlines advertising hot cross buns. Here&#x27;s what it came up with:<p>&quot;Get Your Hot Cross Buns Here - Fresh and Delicious!&quot;
