Emily Hanley says she and other out-of-work copywriters are only the first wave of AI collateral and calls the collapse of her profession the "tip of the AI iceberg."
To be fair she didn’t lose her job as a comedian, she just wasn’t hired by small businesses to write copy for them anymore. Which is understandable and why people and businesses diversify and pivot and expand into other things.
She admits to catering only to small businesses and admits that they’re the first ones to cut costs and take on new tech that will save them money. Like, lady, how long did you think you would have a 1960s Mad Men type job in 2020s?
This one’s kind of on her and this was entirely predictable and she’s sort of blaming AI instead of herself for not providing enough value to her clients and figuring out another way to do so. That’s Dallas. That’s capitalism.
