Uh oh. It’s hard, right? How can you be personal without oversharing? Let me tell you a tiny story first … The email confirmation from the hotel looks promising. Check-in from 2 PM. Yay! We’ve been cycling for a few days and are used to hanging around for a couple of hours before we’re able to check in. This is different. It’s been blazingly hot, and I’m looking forward to a shower and then a siesta.

Who’s opinion should you listen to? Always a tough question. Right now there are plenty of conflicting views when it comes to the future impact of AI on the careers of writers and copywriters. At one extreme, there are those who claim AI is just hype, a passing fad, and that it will never replace human writers. At the other extreme, some copywriters are worried their jobs will be completely obliterated by AI within the next few years.

As humans, we experience the world through our senses. We see the sun rise, listen to music, taste chocolate cake, smell the spring air, and feel the comfort of a loved one’s touch. AI tools can’t do that. They can sift through data and find examples of humans describing these senses, but they have no first-hand sensory experience. That’s a huge constraint.
