-## Potential threat
-
-The threat is simple: [generative AI] has the potential to reduce the demand for
-technical writers because it's getting pretty good at our job.
-
-Take [ChatGPT] for example. You ask it questions in a familiar chat UI and it
-responds with answers that have been synthesized from a variety of sources.
-A lot of these answers are actually relevant and helpful. It can respond in
-text, [code], and [image].
-
-If it's any consolation, the generative AI community does not have a vendetta
-against technical writers in particular. It is potentially a [general purpose
-technology that may affect most jobs].
-
-### ChatGPT's take
-
-This is how ChatGPT (GPT-4) responded to the following question: "What parts of
-technical writing are most likely to be automated by ChatGPT?"
-
-> As an AI language model, ChatGPT can potentially automate several aspects of
-> technical writing, making the process more efficient and less time-consuming
-> for human writers. Some areas that are most likely to be automated include:
-> 
-> Basic content generation: ChatGPT can generate paragraphs or sections based on
-> given topics or outlines, providing a starting point for technical writers.
-> This can speed up the content creation process and help maintain consistency
-> in writing.
-> 
-> Data analysis and interpretation: AI can analyze large datasets and generate
-> summaries, trends, or insights that can be incorporated into technical documents.
-> 
-> Formatting and template creation: AI can automatically apply formatting and
-> styling rules to documents, ensuring they adhere to specific guidelines or
-> templates.
-> 
-> Grammar and spell-checking: ChatGPT can identify and correct grammatical
-> errors, spelling mistakes, and other language inconsistencies, leading to
-> higher-quality content.
-> 
-> Terminology consistency: AI can help maintain the use of consistent
-> terminology and phrases throughout a document, reducing confusion for readers.
-> 
-> Content summarization: ChatGPT can create concise summaries or abstracts of
-> longer, more complex documents, making them more accessible to a wider audience.
-> 
-> Content translation: AI language models can translate technical content into
-> multiple languages, helping to disseminate information globally.
-> 
-> Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) generation: AI can identify common questions
-> related to a topic and generate clear, concise answers.
-> 
-> Metadata generation: AI can automatically generate metadata for technical
-> documents, such as keywords, tags, and descriptions, improving searchability
-> and discoverability.
-> 
-> Plagiarism detection: AI can identify potential plagiarism cases in technical
-> writing and suggest alternative content to maintain originality.
-> 
-> However, it is important to note that ChatGPT and similar AI models are not
-> perfect and may still require human supervision, especially in highly
-> specialized or complex fields. Human writers will continue to play a critical
-> role in the technical writing process, ensuring accuracy, relevance, and
-> context in the content produced by AI.

-## Potential productivity boon
-
-Long story short, I can imagine a future where generative AI does not replace
-technical writers but is instead just a powerful new tool that increases our
-productivity. There are lots of possibilities in this regard, but I will focus
-on only one for now.
-
-Take the age-old "never enough time to document everything" problem for example.
-Once I become proficient in the technical domain I'm documenting, I often
-realize how little of that domain I will ever be able to document. There simply
-is never enough time to cover everything. Generative AI has the potentially to
-dramatically speed up the research and content creation process, so it has the
-potential to help me finally make progress on the "never enough time" problem.
-Generative AI doesn't really seem like a threat to me in this context for a few
-reasons:
-
-* It's work that I never previously had time to get to anyways.
-* It may still be more efficient to have a technical writer in the mix than
-  to try to automate everything completely. After all, as xkcd so brilliantly
-  summarized in [Automation], the funny thing about automation is that you do
-  it because you think it will save you time when in reality it's often the
-  opposite.
-* You may still need someone who is proficient in technical writing and
-  the technical domain in order to effectively orchestrate the generative AI.
-
-## The jury is still out
-
-I caution against taking either side at this point. It's simply too soon to
-know yet.
-
-## Summary of this post from ChatGPT
-
-Here is how ChatGPT summarized this post:
-
-ChatGPT (GPT-4):
-
-> Generative AI, like ChatGPT, is seen as both a potential threat and a productivity
-> boon to technical writers. While it could reduce the demand for writers as AI becomes
-> increasingly proficient at their tasks, it could also be a valuable tool to enhance
-> productivity by speeding up research and content creation. In this context, AI could
-> help address the "never enough time" problem in documentation. However, technical
-> writers might still be needed to effectively orchestrate generative AI. It is too early
-> to determine the exact impact of generative AI on the field of technical writing.
-
-Here was the prompt I provided:
-
-> Please summarize the following text in 100 words or less:
->
-> `<content>`
-
-`<content>` was a copy-paste of the published web content. I omitted the
-"ChatGPT's take" because the ChatGPT UI has a word limit.
