Ever-Creative Elves, Meet Your Replacements: Generative AI

Cheers to the Machines Writing Our Words Now

Apparently, businesses being deficient in creative thinking isn’t enough, so they’re employing an AI, known as Typeface, to pen their words for them. Yes, you got it. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but machines are now writing our words because us humans are apparently a bunch of nincompoops.

The unique trick here is that Typeface is not some regular chatbot. Oh no! It’s a so-called ‘generative AI’ that employs ‘machine learning’ to customize its content according to an organization’s needs. It’s like a parrot learning to mimic its owners’ words, except, in this case, the parrot is pretty damn expensive and robotic.

Possible Implications: A Brave New World of Unemployed Wordsmiths

The adoption of this technology, like everything else we’ve made up until now, could be both a boon and a curse. On one side, enterprises with bland content writing can now write as if Shakespeare left his will to them. On the other side, though, human writers can wave their jobs goodbye. So basically, instead of hiring skilled writers who would pour their creativity and unique human touch into the content, companies will now hire an AI who’s about as imaginative as a toaster.

Hot Take: Another Step Down the Lazy Road

Well, here we go! One more step down the road to a fully automated world where humans can just chill while machine learning parrots spit out content as dry as unbuttered toast. Really, humanity? Have we ended up so lazy and devoid of creativity that we now need a machine to do our thinking and writing for us? This ‘Typeface’ scenario simply demonstrates the incessant desire of companies to appear competent by replacing human jobs with AIs who spew out words like a broken typewriter. A toast in honor of our impending irrelevance!
