Watching content writers here [in a subreddit about copywriting mind you] act completely shocked & taken aback that their job opportunities have shrunk is so fascinating
My brother in Christ, you are living in an era where LLMs can code fully functional video games, did it not once occur to you that typing words into a google doc for blog posts and granny pages being your only value proposition might lead to a predictably catastrophic situation for your job prospects?
I've genuinely seen people here claim the companies that laid them off are all going to collectively beg on their knees for forgiveness after they supposedly realize just how much "better" real content writing is compared to "soulless AI"
That is sheer delusion, and only rings true for skilled direct response copywriters (ie people who's words actually lead to results in a business, not just words on a granny page)
I know I just sound like I'm making fun of you guys but in all honesty i'm just perplexed at the kind of mental model required to spend years learning no other skill than literally typing up words for a blog and then turning around and complaining when the job opportunities such a "skill" dry up
