[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP - and I am still following this thread carefully!

I'm in comms/writing and editing/fundraising these days - I hope if I ever need to hang a shingle I'll at least be able to bring in some money. I'm on staff now but have been freelance in the past. Don't know why I am feeling so anxious about this right now - but I am, and am really appreciating hearing from folks about your experiences.[/quote]

I was in a similar career field and retired early. I saw the writing (literally) on the wall/screen. With the advent of AI-generated content, there will be very few opportunities in the future IMO.

I also thought I might be able to do some freelancing once I retired but have found it's not realistic. Many freelance writing gigs offer a mere pittance for content, from sources which can be shady. [/quote]

+1  There are several companies offering cloud-based services for writing Comms using large language model AIs.  Those services can take a bunch of source material, then be told to write a press release, LinkedIn post, Twitter/X post, etc... at the push of a button.[/quote]
