Right now there are plenty of conflicting views when it comes to the future impact of AI on the careers of writers and copywriters. At one extreme, there are those who claim AI is just hype, a passing fad, and that it will never replace human writers. And it isn’t just writers who are feeling uncertain right now.

One of the hardest things new freelance writers face is the uphill battle of trying to find a dang writing job.

It’s easy for writers and copywriters to roll their eyes when they hear about AI writing tools. At their current level of performance, these tools often produce generic, slightly robotic text that can’t entirely replicate that unique human touch in writing. It’s the same with AI writing tools.
