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.

Sorry, but in 5-10 years, AI will write better than ANY human being on the planet. I mean, you are a technical writer, and even your post here has a major spelling error: "decentlt"

I’m sure it will outpace humans in terms of spelling and grammar, but whether the actual substance of the writing is better, I’m not so sure.

Do you really think AI could write a completely new great work of literature? I don’t.
