No. It’s just a tool. It can’t act autonomously. It still needs humans to use it.
But a good writer should be able to be 2x more productive, hence needing one less person for the same volume of tasks.

Your callout has been rejected.
Taking away jobs for those who can’t use it to exceed expectations.
For example, I’ve been ahead of the curve in my consultancy due to my philosophy of using it as a tool and trying my darnedest to cut edges.
Others try to outpace it and that simply is ineffective.
Learn to let it exponentiate your existing skills, and you’ll never actually worry about it.

I’ve been using it to create articles in topics I know nothing about. Have a great article in 30 minutes or less with human edits.

Your ignorance betrays you.

Perhaps, but my deposits don’t.

Is this what directors do now?

It’s what directors have always done…direct.

Are you one of those who don’t understand why director-level positions aren’t required to craft alongside the craftsman?

Hmm, what is the expression concerning ‘assuming’?
That’s a whole lot of exposition from the simple idea of ‘embrace the tools at your disposal’.
Oh, I get it. My bad brother. I’ll let you know when a position opens up for one of our junior clients. Try Target, I hear they pay well nowadays.

ROI. That medicinal strength.
Scram kid. Go to your papa. Don’t smoke that YouTube ROI.

Direct what now?
Nope. Not really ‘take away’; it’s more of a transformation of the role. As a content marketer, I find opportunities nowadays for AI-savvy writers. So the key is learning how to adapt and continuously gain marketable skills.
Honestly? Maybe in some cases, but overall? Like some others have said, the job market has been awful for marketers for almost 2 years now–especially for people who don’t eventually figure out tips and tricks, like I did (tired of writing about them here, so I’m not going to mention them again).
At my current job, I report to someone who told me recently she uses AI to write her SEO-optimized content. We did a virtual meeting and went through how she does it, and she wants me to do the same thing. Um…how do I put this? My boss’s AI-generated content is garbage and is nowhere near as optimized as my content. The person who said AI takes jobs or helps people who can’t write is right. I can write. I’ve had contacts from brands I work with tell me they want to replace copy my boss “wrote” using AI with copy I wrote and optimized for similar products. It takes more time, but I can’t tolerate the idea of submitting junk to clients that is not optimized to the fullest.
If companies don’t yet realize that AI-generated content ain’t good enough to replace people who have skills, they will eventually.
@Asa
Yep, my former boss at my most recent job was the exact same way. She was unfortunately an idiot who failed her way upwards into a management role and didn’t actually understand marketing or how anything worked, but hopped on the AI train since it was the next best thing. Needless to say, the website’s stats completely tanked after the decision.
AI may replace marketers sure, but it’s way too early for that now at this point in time. It needs way more refinement before it actually produces quality work.
