This does not sound good for those people. Writing is a way of thinking. AI writing assistants are competitive cognitive artifacts. People who use AI to write most of their written communication will get worse at thinking through writing.
Most people don't need to think, they need to write. And AI helps them in that.
If they can’t think or write on their own then what is their value? Why not just go straight to the LLM and cut out the middle man?
