It might just be that the people using them don&amp;#x27;t value writing thst much.&lt;p&gt;That may be true for the use-case of &amp;quot;write me a good story&amp;quot;, as the viral &amp;quot;Wonka Experience in Glasgow&amp;quot; scripts showed. But for what I assume is the usual use case for UpWork copywriting jobs, I&amp;#x27;m not so sure. A ton of these jobs are essentially low-value marketing copy for things like banner ads, social media marketing, SEO-targeted blog posts, etc. You may say LLMs suck at writing, but it&amp;#x27;s not exactly like the human-authored writing for these kind of tasks was on par with Hamlet. My guess is there isn&amp;#x27;t a huge quality delta between the types of writing ChatGPT replaced and the ChatGPT version, which would explain why people are so willing to use AI for this kind of writing in the first place.&lt;p&gt;I contrast that with image generation. Pretty much all AI-generated imagery still has a &amp;quot;feel&amp;quot; of being AI (I&amp;#x27;ve complained elsewhere of a trend where I see every blog post these days having a gratuitous and usually dumb AI header image), so for the most part I&amp;#x27;ve seen &amp;quot;pure AI&amp;quot; images in places that previously would have had no images at all, but places that require quality still have humans creating images (though I have no doubt they are now using AI tools).</text></comment>
