    so I got laid off again, for stupid AI-pilled reasons.

    Anybody need a writer or editor with:
    - 8+ years of technical writer/content strategist experience, mostly in software
    - One published short fiction anthology (as editor)
    - A master's degree in sociolinguistics
    - A knack for learning new content management systems
    - A love of working with invested SMEs
    - A basic understanding of web dev
    - Strong boundaries
    - An aversion to generative AI?

    Prioritizing remote work in Canada.

                                so I got laid off again, for stupid AI-pilled reasons.

                                Anybody need a writer or editor with:
                                - 8+ years of technical writer/content strategist experience, mostly in software
                                - One published short fiction anthology (as editor)
                                - A master's degree in sociolinguistics
                                - A knack for learning new content management systems
                                - A love of working with invested SMEs
                                - A basic understanding of web dev
                                - Strong boundaries
                                - An aversion to generative AI?

                                @WizardOfDocs for some reason my employer recommends using generative AI to prepare quarterly performance reviews ... I know they are using AI to summarize them so yeah

                                  "High Priest, these rituals seem tedious and pointless."
                                  "Indeed they are. That's why we made a machine to do them for us."
                                  "You know we could just...stop doing them, right?"
                                  "And embarrass ourselves before God and man? What a childish thought. Now go back to tending the devotion machine."

                                        @phantasus closer to the first one
                                        And not just the "don't use AI at all"
                                        After somebody pointed out that the client could replace me with someone who uses AI,
                                        I conceded "if you must use AI, then test it with tests that mean something"

                                        they could have called my bluff by giving me the resources I asked for
                                        instead they left me on read for three weeks and then fired me
