i’ve been job-hunting since February.
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.
For many, it was even worse than they'd feared.

Copywriters were one of the first to have their jobs targeted by AI firms. These are their stories, three years into the AI era.

people who experience violence, rape, and harm reserve the right to support and real community care. instead, society expects that we shoulder the costs of long-term—and often disabling—health effects of environmental insults, then blames us for our poverty and our failing health.

people are thrown into a gauntlet of no workable options and told they are "lazy" and "chose to be homeless".

It's illegal to sleep outside, it's illegal to sleep in a car. But also we have no shelter for them and the little we do have will now kick you out sooner.

the facts are:
people do not believe survivors.
there is a sickly, guilty embarrassment, a sort of, "why are you making a big stink out of nothing?" blame implied.
it's the emergence of denial, white supremacist racial capitalist patriarchy, and rape culture.
it's why people don't speak out.
