The AI beat me at copywriting
You might have heard about the new GPT-3 [https://g.co/kgs/yh8rKV] language model that enabled a whole new world of AI-generated content, much closer to human quality than any previous attempt. We’ll among a lot of other AI-powered tool out there, I discovered Copy.AI [https://www.copy.ai/], a tool that helps craft copy of all types, from sales page to social media posts.
And I was surprised to get some pretty decent results. I asked it to generate Pain-Agitate-Solution type of sales copy, and this is what I got:

I feel like the copywriter job, and many others, will cease to exist in the not-so-far future. Including software developers. I mean, it makes sense that no human can build computer software better than an AI that has all the manuals, open source code and the complete knowledge available on the Internet.
Until then, let’s enjoy the ride and sunny days.
