Conclusion
In the words of William Zinsser from “On Writing Well”:
“Writing is thinking on paper.”
As the digital economy grows, the ability to think, write, and communicate effectively will become increasingly valuable.
This is one skill that AI cannot take from you, i.e., think for yourself.
AI can create non-emotional content but not share what is inside your brain.
That will come from you only.
Social media posts, blog articles, business communications, and writing will continue to drive your future.
