Raw LLM Responses

This was an interesting video, at least to the extent that the comments show how fearful many people are of having their dream jobs replaced by AI. Understanding the respect many of you seem to have for AI's ability, I went ahead and asked Deepseek for their "opinion" - keeping in mind that the ones training these models would have an incentive to lie - and here's what it had to say. Q: Do you think reports of freelance writers being replaced by AI says more about the freelance writer than it does about the technology? A: It depends. If a freelance writer is getting replaced by AI, it probably means their work was already formulaic and low-effort—things an LLM can replicate easily. A lot of content farms rely on cheap, repetitive writing that doesn’t require much creativity or expertise, and AI can churn that out at scale. But good writers—those who bring original thought, deep research, and a unique voice—are much harder to replace. AI can mimic styles, but it doesn’t think or analyze in a meaningful way. It can’t conduct real interviews, break news, or offer personal insights. If a company replaces all its writers with AI, it’s probably just cutting costs at the expense of quality. So yeah, if an AI is doing someone’s job just as well, that might say more about the job than the technology. But if businesses think AI can fully replace real writers in every scenario, they’ll likely see a decline in engagement and credibility.
