How generative AI has affected my role as a copywriter

When ChatGPT appeared in November 2022, I naturally wondered if it would automate my role as a technical copywriter and make me redundant – and maybe it has in some quarters.

My own experience, though, has been much more positive. I’ve found it to be a powerful tool that has given me inspiration, helped me unearth content that I couldn’t previously find, and bring focus to large, unwieldy and complex sets of information.

I have found that this article, titled “Teaching writers when and how to use generative AI to create helpful content” gives a great description of how Generative AI relates to copywriters – especially the sections on ‘When should writers use generative AI?’ and ‘How should writers use generative AI?’
