1. Given AI tools' ability to simplify complex content, how worried are you about the future of your job as a technical writer? - Text Data for Other
04/04/2023 162065901 My concern is that people who don't understand the value of writing are making decisions that will ultimately lead to a poorer content experience.

04/05/2023 162170820 Unless Oxygen, Adobe, or Help+Manual create Ai interfaces inside their software to generate content, a lot of the tech comm will be stuck in a 1990s desktop publishing mindset for a long time. I'm skeptical these companies will develop tools to allow such functionality or facilitate ways of migrating from those tools to ones which more easily allow Ai to handle the grunt work of typesetting and layout. For API documentation, it's another story.
04/04/2023 162118948 You can bet your ass
04/04/2023 162065901 It will have a significant, negative impact. We will have people who are not writers publishing writing and all of the other tasks a writer would normally do that will disappear with the role will cause frustration and friction for companies who will struggle to understand what changed.

04/05/2023 162170820 ChatGPT 3.5 is great at regurgitating content which smells like what it was trained on, but asking it to create even modestly new features has been a big failure for me. While developers might need to become better prompt engineers, coming up with and documenting truely new ideas still requires humans.
04/05/2023 162165326 Yes, exis
04/04/2023 162065968 Hard to say. AI can also write creatively. The effect will be different bu impactful.
04/04/2023 162065901 Developers are responsible for implementing AI and maintaining it. It was comical for everyone to get excited about writing roles becoming extinct, but the minute dev roles were on the table for replacement the call to slow down and assess was the focus on the next news cycle. They are actively securing their roles right now by making sure business leaders who don't understand AI think developers are critical to its success.

5. In an AI-driven future, will creating semantic, structured content be needed to optimize large language models' performance with company content? - Text Data for Other
04/05/2023 162170820 Yes, but I am extremely anxious about which AI tools to allow to read our existing confidential content. If I can build a language model which lives inside the company premises, ok, but if I have to rely on a cloud-based solution, then it is a non-starter. I cannot have a situation similar to Github's AI which parrots back code to competitors.
04/05/2023 162162817 Don’t know
04/05/2023 162121204 I can't quite parse this question.
04/04/2023 162112445 Question is unclear...
04/04/2023 162065968 Not certain if I understood the question. i think that human review and editing will be needed, at least for the near future.
