In this new era of AI-powered writing tools , I’ve been thinking a lot lately about quality when it comes to writing. Or are there still publications and organizations out there dedicated to producing top-notch, highly researched, funny, culturally relevant writing? Are we generally satisfied with “done, and good enough”?

Back in 1995 I published my first website. There is a particular challenge here for writers and copywriters. While these tools can do many things now, including coding and design, their first use case was writing. That makes total sense, because these are essentially writing machines. Same with AI-generated writing.

Securing the services of a literary agent has long been the gold standard for authors pursuing a long and successful career in publishing. At the turn of the twentieth century, the so-called “author’s representative” emerged as the figure who would help authors cut a better deal with publishers. It’s easy to understand why.

Freelance and in-house writers are relying too heavily on AI tools like ChatGPT to write their sales copy, content, and social media updates. When you use the same tool as every other writer, you begin to churn out writing that feels generic, flat… and the same as everything else out there. The result? That’s insane!
