I think what they’re banking on too is dependency and blind integration. I’m a software engineer, and I use it for work when Im feeling a little lazy, it just does not work for problems with a narrow business scope. Business being the key word.
I’m a writer too, and any writer that say they hate it has had to of tried it. Or they just are so afraid of it they stay away. It’s not good as an editor, its ideas are odd.
To your point, the value it adds is the fear that if you don’t use it you’ll be left in the past.
And my fear is that the world has already bought in, and we’re on some kind of bullet train to who knows what. And kids adopting it because it’s easier than thinking
I agree that your writing is going in a new direction that is more substantive and has clear benefits to the reader—excellent transition. Yes, you can make money as a writer—not overnight and not without learning the ropes. You seem to be doing a good job of learning the ropes!
hmmm. If you’re ready to put time into marketing and promoting your work without anxiety, I’d say yes, the Story Funnel Playbook makes sense. If you’re still wondering about the ins and outs of today’s writing, I’d try Mastering the Art of Turning Writing into Revenue or look through the 10 Quick Steps guides (under $5.) in my bookstore at https://payhip.com/pen2profit. If you have particular challenges you’re stuck on, drop me an email!
You make a really good point, Maryan. Most of my career in tech has been defined by the rise of lots of different races, and I love "the bot-com bubble". It's very apt.
As being among the generation that straddles the analog/digital transition to the point where we wince when we walk, I've witnessed the rise and (spectacular) fall of businesses that rode the trends going up and forgot to pack their parachutes. It's all one huge game of adult Jenga where the blocks are gargantuan and companies are moving the pieces via cranes.
One of things that AI can teach us is just how powerful our abilities can be if we can learn how to use it as inspiration in how to synthesize and incorporate information.
When the cows come home, we'll see who gets to keep the milk.
Looking forward to the last of this series (and reading the report!)
I feel like you understand my reasons for writing this series and the report. Time and labor intensive, but very important to those of us who take writing seriously.

Huh. Ive never used AI. As a writer, why would I ?
There are good reasons and bad. Hence the huge debate.
Trouble is, AI is too fast. Contemplation takes time, curing a ham takes time, something AI knows nothing about.
Point well made. I wonder how long it will be before some AI bot can cure a ham…
Good article. I saw the same phenomenon several times in the Oil and Gas business.
I have been writing on Medium for a while and this year on Substack. Not much traction on Substack but it seems to be a good place to be.
I believe I can start making money. My writing is getting better and I am learning how to navigate.

I like reading and hearing about your years of experience. Would your Story telling book be next for me? Or?

Your analysis makes complete sense, Maryan. The Ai bubble is very real. Thank you for your brilliant insghts.
You can be proactive to make sure you rise above the crowd—have a look at the white paper report.
A brilliant post, Maryan.
Thank you, Jean. If this topic matters to you, explore the whole white paper report.
Will do. Amazing, DotCom 2.0
