Why content writers shouldn’t worry about AI taking away their jobs?

29 Dec

It is common in human nature to be sceptical about a new invention. When computers were first introduced, many people opposed it, fearing that they would take away jobs. Computers, on the contrary, helped in creating new jobs and simplified many daily tasks. It is the same for Artificial Intelligence or AI also. Many people, especially the content writers, are fearing that implementation of AI may snatch their jobs but this is wrong.

AI content tools can create good quality content, but that does not mean content writers will become unemployed. In this article, we will learn about the emergence of AI and the reasons why content writers should not feel worried about AI. Let us begin.

Introduction and rise of AI

The rise of AI may seem scary to content writers like you, but relax and learn patiently about its rise and benefits. How will you feel if you have a tireless assistant by your side who can generate topic ideas quickly, conduct research on that topic in seconds, write good quality content and even suggest keywords for improving your search engine rankings? You will be thrilled to know that AI content creation tools are capable of doing all the tasks mentioned above.

However, AI tools lack some important features which are required for creative writing, such as creativity, nuance as well as strategic thinking. These features separate a superior quality content from a bunch of good quality content. You must have felt weird while reading some articles. This is because those articles were written by a machine who is trying to resemble a human.

Why you should not worry about your job yet?

The emergence of AI has given rise to numerous questions. One such question is, ‘Can AI replace content writers?’. The answer is short and simple, no. AI cannot replace content writers mainly because of the following reasons:

Creativity and storytelling: You should remember that a superior quality content is not only about information, it is also about creativity and storytelling. You can impress the readers and keep them engaged with a nice story.  AI is unable to understand the art of weaving narratives and injecting humor, so the content created is straightforward and it lacks essence and aesthetic flavor. Readers will not be interested in reading such content.

Strategic thinking: When you are writing a content, you must remember that the content must have a purpose, whether it is for generating leads or attractive traffic. AI will not be able to strategise and develop the required content and tailor it to specific target audience.

AI as an assistant

Now, don’t make the mistake of thinking that AI tools are useless. These tools are very much useful in content writing. They will help you in research, generate topic ideas and proofreading but do not use them for creating a whole content. You should know that when you are trying to create content which resonates with your users, there is no substitute for the human element.So instead of fearing AI, use it as your assistant.

AI is not going to take the jobs of content writers so you should not feel worried about it. They are helpful and will assist you in numerous ways, thus simplifying your work.
