engaged. got an apartment. resident in tokyo.

ironically for all the AI chat above, i'm pretty sure all the generative AI slop is gonna replace coders and CAD monkeys like dilbert a long time before it replaces me. how long until boston dynamics invent a robot that will superannuate beef patties like jay in the HVAC industry?

Whats funny is that is literally my life now.

But really, my colossal intellectual thighs straddle multiple complex domains, you inhabit just the one - where all the input, output and reference material is digitised as a given and therefore very easily taken over by AI.
The only task which would be easier would be accounting.

AI will replace all the rote tasks of copy-writing and reportage for the big associated press-style wire communications. it will replace copy-writing for most corporate uses and basic communicative english, e.g. instruction manuals and promotional material. it won't replace a good book editor, though, because they bring much more to the table than grammarly-esque fixing of semi-colons and dangling participles. it's a collaborative relationship and AI is not going to give good direction on structure or developmental editing.

typesetting and printing aren't done by a publishing house, by the way. even a lot of the more rote production-related tasks were offshored in the beginning of the digital desktop publishing era, nevermind AI. and that is a shame for all those quality typesetting companies and printshops based in the UK. we have tried to maintain a relationship with our norwich-based printer but the future is looking bleak.

the greatest threat to all these industries is simpletons like you who can't tell the difference between a word dump of auto-generative shit 'in the style of ...' (which never strikes anyone who actually reads as impressive or credible in any way), and who actually don't care at all about the quality of typesetting or what gsm their paper is. you'd read those little nazi apologist screeds on toilet paper.
