I made a great living writing for magazines until around 2009 when a combination of the recession and the Internet made it all go away. Websites paid so poorly that I had to write constantly to scratch out minimum wage. Now AI has made things even tougher. I'm glad I'm retired and don't have to worry about "selling" any more
Great and depressing article, I’m generally an AI hating grouch so thanks for this informed perspective., writing is enshittified like everything else not because of AI but corporate profits

Yes, this is really depressing.
AI to me represents a complete aversion to critical thinking. Same for MAGA subculture. Same for military subcultures everywhere.
I subscribe to Noah for his daily injection of critical thinking.
I recognize I am a junkie and remain in denial of my need for Group treatment.
