A close look at the human costs of “artificial intelligence”, and at how quickly automation deskills a workforce: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240612-the-people-making-ai-sound-more-human
As ever, the real danger of these “AI” platforms isn’t that they’re truly capable of replacing your labor, or matching the quality of your work. Rather, it’s that your bosses *think* these platforms could be a suitable replacement for you.
For a moment, let's set aside those directors and shareholders that will never grow beyond "firing people with AI as an excuse increases stock prices". Hopefully customers will ultimately remind them that their job is to make satisfying products.
I think the more important thing in this article is that it tells 3 stories of how people collaborate with AI to write. Two of these stories are negative, one is positive. To me this suggests that Miller and Cowart need to take control of the change.
Recently, I worked on an article on collaborative writing where we reviewed different approaches to it. Only few involved AI, but the important thing is to be aware of the potential different phenomena in writing and decide which ones are worth our time, and which aren't.
Here's the article: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-42286-7_5
