Real human writers will never be replaced by artificial voices.

Really well written and informative piece.

So,what you're saying is:

No one can write like me and AI can't write like anyone. No emotion.

No history. No creativity.

No analytics.

I experienced this recently on a personal level. I had a friend who was a writer/reporter on the Washington Post. I would respond to his column via the email contact. He responded in a funny, spontaneous way, until he stopped.

I stopped emailing him and then began to worry because of the whole Bezos situation, which he was clearly depressed about. WaPo had totally changed their comments

section and were taking out comments a lot. So I wrote my friend again, to see if I could get a response. What I got was a paragraph of blahblahblah, nothing like my friend.

WaPo is responding to emails with AI. I stopped

commenting a long time ago because it was so bad and I canceled, although

I am riding to the end of the subscription now.

Scary, huh?

This is a terrific summary of where we are now and makes a strong case for the human-AI collaboration we should be shooting for. I am working on a project right now called the Young Professionals Playbook which melds human generated content with the limitless “creativity” of ChatGPT. Through multiple iterations we got this: https://youngprofessionalsplaybook.com/Curiosity_Code/. The voices, song, questions and callers to the podcast are all AI generated, including me. The experience, knowledge, insights and “wisdom” are mine. The future can be very exciting.
