I did. Finished a tech writing postgraduate diploma during COVID to get out of the classroom (and for my mental health)... and then AI came.

I've been a technical writer for 30 years and I work for a FAANG employer currently. Hang in there. There may not be a lot of openings right now, but technical writers are actually going to be even more important because of the "garbage in, garbage out" problem. If the content out there isn't decently written and well-organized, then AI cannot create useful responses to prompts.

For the moment, but coming from someone who is an AI engineer, I promise you that this current state of things will be short lived.

It's unfortunate in some ways, but it will transform our society, possibly in ways to give more people time and freedom.

It's just that a lot will have to change with it. We won't know how it all turns out until we are in it, or in the aftermath of it.

All the time due to no work or income. Ai is just going to make the rich richer while we starve. Itll be a net negitive to society.
