At one extreme, there are those who claim AI is just hype, a passing fad, and that it will never replace human writers. At the other extreme, some copywriters are worried their jobs will be completely obliterated by AI within the next few years.

As humans, we experience the world through our senses. We see the sun rise, listen to music, taste chocolate cake, smell the spring air, and feel the comfort of a loved one’s touch. AI tools can’t do that. They can sift through data and find examples of humans describing these senses, but they have no first-hand sensory experience. That’s a huge constraint.
