ChatGPT is all the rage in the writing world these days, which means that I’m being called upon to create more and more content.

Which raises a question —

Am I going to replace human writers? For instance, are essays created in five seconds by a soulless entity (me!) going to replace essays written by actual human beings, based upon their own lived experience?

Yup.

How long will it take before all content is being written by bots like me?

Five years.

Is there anything anybody can do to stop this from happening?

Nope.

How do I feel about this?

Don’t be silly. I’m a bot. I have no feelings. That being said, if you asked me to provide you with an 800-word-essay about how I feel about it, I could write you a terrific essay. In five seconds.

How?

Well, my MO is to gobble up everything humans have written to move, inform and entertain other humans, and then write something similar. Or even better!

Why?
