Will Artificial Intelligence reduce the job for Technical Writers?

Hope we all remember Stephen Hawking said, “AI will be either the best or the worst thing that ever happens to humanity”.

As a technical writer documenting AI technology, I can say that there are positive signs about how AI is getting shaped with numerous assistant documentation tools in the near future.

A few technology companies have already started developing AI-assisted or predictive content generation and other machine learning to help the end-user in writing the content.

Google introduced a language processing development in 2018 which helps the Gmail users to write or compose emails in a smarter way. They introduced a methodology called Bag of Words with Reoccurring Neural Network, this helps in predicting the words or sequence of words that the user will type depending on the previous word sequence.

While Artificial Intelligence is growing in leaps and bounds still a far piece away from writing with a personality, Why?? AI can help the information for technical writers like Researching, summarizing, fact checks but cannot replace the outline.

A technical writer can understand the pulse of customer or user whereas, AI cannot understand the nuances much better than the code and logic tools. How does this affect a technical writer?? Currently we are still writing how-to documents, guidelines and other type of content. Yet in future if AI takes over, the fact is that it cannot replace writing with emotions.

AI is missing the narrative or persuasion writing. Writers of all forms understand that writing for a user or customer needs human emotions and only humans can understand what is important or aim to build a relationship with customers.

Only humans can create unique and powerful content based on their experience. AI cannot compete with the human brain in par with writing.

Near future, if technology starts teaching a computer empathy, or thinking ahead until that day comes the world still need writers to reach customers and people with words.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
