The Dangers of AI WRiting Replacing Human Writers

Artificial intelligence (AI) writing has the potential to revolutionize the way we produce written content, but it also poses a significant threat to human writers and the economy as a whole.

One of the main concerns is that AI-generated writing can be produced faster and at a lower cost than human-written content. This means that as more and more companies adopt AI writing technology, there will be less demand for human writers. As a result, many writers could lose their jobs and their livelihoods. The loss of jobs in the writing industry could also have a ripple effect throughout the economy, as fewer jobs means less money circulating and less economic growth.

Another concern is that AI-generated writing may not be able to match the creativity and nuance of human-written content. Many types of writing, such as fiction and poetry, rely heavily on the unique perspectives and emotions of the human writer. AI-generated writing may be able to produce functional content, but it may lack the depth and emotional resonance that only a human writer can provide. This could lead to a decline in the quality of written content overall, which could have a negative impact on industries that rely on high-quality writing, such as publishing and advertising.

In addition to the economic implications, the loss of jobs in the writing industry could also have a significant impact on the lives and livelihoods of human writers. Writing is often more than just a job for many writers; it is a passion and a way of life. Losing a job in the writing industry could mean more than just a loss of income; it could mean a loss of purpose and identity.

Overall, while AI-generated writing has the potential to bring many benefits, it is important to consider the potential negative consequences as well. It is essential that we take steps to mitigate the impact of AI writing on human writers and the economy as a whole. This could include providing training and support for human writers to adapt to the new technology, or finding ways to use AI writing in conjunction with human writing to enhance rather than replace it.

In conclusion, AI writing is a double-edged sword, which brings many benefits but also poses a significant threat to human writers and the economy. As we continue to develop and implement AI writing technology, it’s crucial that we take steps to mitigate the negative consequences and ensure that human writers are not left behind.


I did not write this. ChatGPT did. Artificial intelligence did a rather good job explaining the dangers of its own technology, and the negative effects it can have on human writers like me. I’ve edited many articles written by humans that were lower quality than this. That’s scary.

There were two hilarious aspects to this, however.

  1. I had to create a login to ChatGPT in order to use it. During that process, the artificial intelligence required me to prove that I’m not a robot.
  2. To do this, it gave me a Captcha image where I had to click all of the squares containing motorcycles. MOTORCYCLES. For a motorcycle journalist. I didn’t even use my professional email address that could be linked to my motorcycle writing. It’s probably just a coincidence. But what if it’s not?

Here We Go Again

It happens all the time these days, and it just happened to me again. I got laid off from FIXD last week.

I’m doing okay. ADVRider is throwing me some more work. I’m already in touch with a couple of other websites about writing for them. Even if that wasn’t the case, between severance, unemployment, and a full savings account thanks to living so affordably on the road, I wouldn’t be running out of money for a good long time.

However, as the great philosopher Jim Morrison once said, “The future’s uncertain, and the end is always near.” If you know of anyone looking for a good writer or editor, please let me know. Positions and prospects come and go, so I might as well embrace the revolving door of opportunities.

Exploring the Grand Canyon

ADVRider recently published a feature I wrote all about exploring the South Rim of the Grand Canyon by motorcycle. I spent nearly two weeks there in Smokey Da Van this past fall, but the article focuses on the motorcycling opportunities, including places to stay if you’re not living the van life like me. How does free motorcycle camping in the Kaibab National Forest just south of the park sound? To learn more about the area, or to just look at some pretty pictures, go check it out.

The Ultimate Guide to Car Warranties

Although most of my work at FIXD these days is in my role as a Copy Editor, I still get to do some writing. My latest article is all about car warranties — the different kinds, how long they last, what they cover, what they don’t, and more. I’m looking forward to getting back to writing more original content, particularly long-form articles like these while continuing to edit shorter articles written by others.
