I think AI like ChatGPT will be another tool people will get used to using.
Well, this is the difference between AI and tools.
Doing things can be divided into planning and tasks.
If you want to do a thing, you first need to plan it out, then break it up into tasks to execute the thing.
Until now, no tool could plan. Because planning requires recognising various factors and problems, and identifying the tools and activities you need to accomplish this. This also means recognising how those tools work and what they can or cant do, so you can use the right tools
And this suited humans, because we could plan things, and use tools to execute those tasks easier.
But AI can plan.
It can take an objective, and identify all the problems on the way, and tasks you need to accomplish to execute that objective. It can learn how the tools work, and know what they can or cant do.
Its not just a fancy grammar and spelling checker. It can write the entire book, produce its cover, market it, place it on stores, write its own fake reviews, negotiate with publishers and printers, open its own bank accounts to collect revenue, and not even need you in any part of it.
Of course, its not quite there yet.
Right now its an 8 year old with limited access to the world. Every year it gets 2 x smarter than the previous year and has slightly more access to the world.
Ill give it 3 more years before it replaces almost every writing profession out there.
The following 3 years it will be replacing things that have nothing to do with writing.
