Hello Ruth Ann,
If I sound cranky, it's because I am. That chatbot thing really irritates me. First of all, I really don't like chatbots. Whenever I'm forced to use them, I know I'm last in a queue of six or more customers it's talking to. And I keep having to repeat myself. I mean, it's all typed in the box! Just scroll back up!
And now it seems that all those threats (to me) I've seen on Facebook urging customers to use AI-generated content instead of human-produced work could actually happen. I cling to the hope that AI writing isn't sophisticated enough to tell the difference between marketing and sales content, or how to write to inspire, inform, calm down, or alert.
On a brighter note, I'm enjoying the Post.News account I opened after leaving Twitter. Look me up if you're on it. Post.News is still working out kinks but it seems to attract people who are more interested in being social rather than providing shock value. I hang out mostly on the #writing section.
Thanks for reading!
Ruth Ann Monti
