If writers are replaced by AI in the future, it is not because their writing is poor! The majority is due to a lack of social experience, making communication too difficult?

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), topics such as “certain industries may be replaced by AI” are emerging endlessly and becoming hot topics in media and online discussions. Among them, writers, text journalists, and social media managers are seen as high-risk occupations that are likely to be impacted by AI.

Recently, Japanese writer Toianna expressed her views on this assertion, believing that more than half of writers will be surpassed by AI. This is not because their writing abilities are inferior to those of AI, but because many writers have difficulty in communication.

From the perspective of a business, rather than struggling to coordinate with difficult-to-communicate writers, it is better to seek help directly from AI. Next, let’s take a closer look at her detailed views.

In the future, most writers will lose to AI, and the reason is not due to inferior writing skills, but rather a lack of social experience. Many writers, having no work experience, often behave oddly and can easily be replaced by AI. Perhaps I will be criticized for saying this, but I believe that if writers want to establish themselves in this industry, they must accumulate experience by working in a company, even if it’s just a part-time job.

Toyanna once worked in a foreign enterprise and her writing mainly covers workplace and gender-related emotional themes. She points out that the real reason why some writers are losing to AI is that certain writers lack social experience, making collaboration with companies inconvenient, rather than poor writing skills.

She provided some examples or so-called complaints to illustrate how troublesome writers lacking social experience can be, and why companies are increasingly inclined to rely on AI for writing.

In fact, the writers replaced by AI did not simply lose to AI, but because the process from negotiation to subsequent feedback was irritating, they ultimately lost to the services provided by AI companies. Therefore, I believe that the business of AI companies is still handled by humans.

After working with many writers, I just want to request: please do not take drastic actions because of customer feedback (such as wanting to achieve XX next time). And do not let lawyers or family members get involved because of this. Such individuals will lose to AI.

One thing I experienced is that I once advised a writer: “Thank you for your last manuscript, it was very helpful! However, it would be even better if you could avoid the repeated use of particles.” As a result, the other party engaged in self-harm and was admitted to a psychiatric ward, which was completely unexpected for me.

Some fools who saw what I said countered, ‘Doesn’t this indicate that business ability is more important than writing skills?’ I want to emphasize that since one claims to be a writer, their writing should be impeccable, just like the qualities one should possess as a person. I am referring to something of a higher level.

Communicating with these writers puts a lot of pressure on me, so I have been looking for writers with social experience and excellent writing skills, hoping to create a mutual support organization.

In fact, it is not just writers; people in all professions do need a certain level of social experience to better develop their careers.
