Let’s get real for a minute: you could get a computer to write for you.

In this burgeoning age of artificial intelligence, automated communication is easy to come by. With just a nudge from a human prompt, the machine will do its magic. I get it — and I ain’t hating on it — but I kindly ask a consideration.

I’m admittedly old-fashioned, but I think there’s still room for writers in this modern world. I’ll also go on the record to say I believe our insatiable desire to make everything easy has the potential to make us complacent, communication included.

Don’t get me wrong: I value efficiency and I’m not going to pretend I haven’t benefitted from this technology. I don’t fault anyone for using AI (although I do hope you edit); I just don’t believe words produced by a robot can truly replicate a human’s ability to listen, process, and write with conviction.

Whether you’re marketing a product, service or a cause, your audience is inundated with artificial content. I’d also go out on a limb and say they might be numb to the noise. If you want to stand out — if you want them to be moved — you should consider hiring a human writer. There, I said it.

I’m here to listen to you ramble, and I’m here to collaborate. That’s where the human magic happens, and that’s how we will take your idea and make it sing.

Thanks for indulging me. I hope we can work together, but either way I’m happy you stopped by.

Take care, and keep it real!
