Grimly ironic that one of these undermined workers got into generative stock images for less than a living wage, thus undermining another class of creative worker
When the AI boom began, copywriters were singled out as one of the jobs most vulnerable to AI. Now, three years later, I wanted to hear from workers on the frontlines of the industry, to hear what had actually taken place on the ground.

"Her" (2013) but it's from the perspective of someone watching their friend's skills and personality atrophy through disuse
It’s very funny* that he acts like the info came from inside the Ai itself and is not scraped from the work of countless others, but especially women. Men like him just found another way to burden women with all the parenting and still claim credit.

more medical facilities are definitely needed but i'm telling you from within the tertiary system that you could have all the facilities appear tomorrow and it would still take 20 years to train the staff to run them
