  Sure, if we’re talking about writing for it’s own sake. Most of what people use AI for is, like, emails and advertising copy. Maybe porn. Writing that’s secondary to some other purpose.

  Yes. Plastic is actually a great material for anything you don’t want to break down.

  I would guess that the layout isn’t the whole brand.

  Well, that’s a bit of a salty tangent, but yeah, I guess they could take a class warfare sort of line on it. The other classical options are going full luddite, or just blaming a minority. Maybe they’ll come up with something new, because I have trouble picturing young, laid off creatives spouting any of these.

  Right now, I think people are firmly in the denial stage. For whatever reason the thread isn’t federating properly for me, but on beehaw I can see others in here saying human exceptionalism stuff, which is kind of not in accordance with science.

  Expect a lot more “white collar workers laid off due to AI” posts coming. I wonder how long it will take for a (very well resourced, those are status-y jobs) movement to form in response.
