With AI becoming more intelligent every year, writers worldwide are panicking their jobs might be replaced.

As someone who’s been writing online for nearly ten years, this article discusses what I believe the future of writing looks like.

Before we start, let’s understand that the AI revolution is not new.

The history of AI writing experiments

AI started writing books years ago. The first successful attempt was in 2017.

Since then, several published and critically acclaimed novels have been written by AI.

But the initial AI writing attempts were mainly niche-specific and monotonous. No writer took it seriously, so you never heard about AI replacing writers in 2017.

What changed in 2022?

GPT-3 was born. ChatGPT is an example.

If you’ve been active on social media, you’ll know it took the writing world by storm.
