Nicolas Cole argues that AI won't kill the writing industry, just like smartphones didn't eliminate older tech entirely. The writing services market is too massive to disappear, and there will still be plenty of opportunities even as AI expands.
I've been playing this broader game long enough where I've gotten to see handfuls of these different cycles. And over and over again, two things are true at the same time. The new thing grows, but the old thing, unless it's like a BlackBerry phone, which doesn't happen very often, the old thing, it might quote unquote get smaller, but it's still such an overwhelming amount of opportunity relative to what you as an individual could deliver on. So like, do I think that AI is going to grow, but that means that writing services are going to die? No, of course not. Writing services are going to continue to be one of the largest industries on planet Planet Earth.
