RE: Everybody’s Gotta Eat… And Other Realities

As a book editor, I can vouch for that @carolkean.

I lost much work as a technical writer to outsourcing 20-odd years ago. Hard to compete with someone with an English degree from a US or British University who's living in SE Asia where $8/hour was considered good pay.

As an editor, I'm increasingly facing redundancy to both AI and younger editors using lots of AI to work faster but not necessarily better.

Even Microsoft Word's default autocorrect dislikes some proper punctuation. I'm even less sure AI knows what it is doing, particularly when constructing sentences above an 8th-grade level or in a technical field where specific terminology matters..
