If it seems too good to be true, it’s probably AI.
~ Before I begin my artificial odyssey, some context is needed. A few hours before I found myself perusing the job listings on my local Craigslist, I learned that my last remaining writing client, through a writers’ platform I’ve been using since 2019, had not renewed their contract.
It was a healthcare logistics firm, and the client was a publisher working with a dozen companies across different industries. I wrote two sample articles, which they loved, and it was good money. I thought, ‘Hey, maybe I can get work from their other clients, too!’
I wrote three more articles that they also loved before they succumbed to the AI plague. In an email from the account manager, I was told, “The client is restructuring.” Say no more.
