Is the end of read.cash and the human writing?
Everyone here likes in one way or another to write, create content and share experiences. Usually, too, we support other people's talent and encourage them to continue creating and writing.
But can we feel confident that what we read was written by a person and not by an artificial intelligence? For now we can say yes, but with each passing day we will get closer to a future where this is not the case.
The reason is the technological advance that artificial intelligence (AI) represents, as it gains in power and training, it is capable of doing increasingly spectacular things. There are already platforms where by introducing a few words accompanied by a sketch or an image they are able to transform them and give us spectacular results.
Anyone who saw them would say they are the work of a highly talented digital artist, however they are generated in just minutes by an AI. These results are impressive, but they are only the beginning stage. This indicates that in the future, the graphic design profession will change completely and these professionals will have to adapt to a reality where people from their homes write what they want in a system and obtain immediate results for a very low cost.
And if this is so with images, where in just months they have begun to change the game, what will happen when these AIs are focused on the field of literature and writing? Will the jobs of copywriters, journalists, web editors, etc. disappear?
How can we read something or someone and be sure that this story is the product of the human imagination and not the mixture of words and styles of a machine? Will people continue to write or will they turn to these softwares to do most of the work for them?
There are many questions that still have no answer and that when the time comes for it to happen, it will divide opinions.
Unfortunately, the world has not developed in the same way, and although there are countries that are better prepared for the rapid changes that technology brings, most are not. And they are not, not because they cannot assimilate these advances, but because socially the impacts would be very negative if technology replaces human workers and they are not given new work and income alternatives.
Returning to the subject of AI and writing, there are already applications where it is used, either to scan texts for plagiarism, to summarize them or to paraphrase and rewrite those same texts so that plagiarism alarms do not go off. Will AIs replace artists or will artists and writers use them to take their art to the next level?
I sincerely believe that the mark "Made or designed by a human being" will be something that we will see very often in the future as a seal of exclusivity and value. However, I would like to know your opinion about it, so I invite you to leave it in the comments.

Yes, I think this is the same as the worry I feel. We can only choose to compete or cooperate with the robot.
