> That's why I'm saying: if you, as a writer, bring no taste because you're the equivalent of a code money, what are you expecting?

You're assuming "Writer laid of must be because org did not find them to be a very good writer".

The issue,

#1, unless you're yourself an editor or a former writer, you really can't distinguish between moderate and excellent writing. (I know someone personally who's very experienced, and I struggled while actively trying to make out the tells in the quality of writing. The difference between good and great writing can be very subtle.)

Bigger issue #2 is, the board DGAF about any of this.

If they can get a sloppy write up for free with their chatgpt subscription instead of a fair human price, who cares if the quality and brand value drops and the company goes bankrupt? That's an issue 5 years from now, good thing the CEO's already retired by then, right?

Not sure my point gets across tbh. What you describe is that the person getting fired is "only a writer" to the board. I think that ship has sailed. Call it personal brand, taste, whatever. I think you need to provide more nowadays than "I can do exactly this predefined job". I find it hard to find the right words right now.

Do I think that this is a good thing? No. I don't think most people have taste (tm) nor that we should live in a world where only the most distinguished have work. I'm just observing what happens in my world. Maybe it's going to burn us all to the ground, but it is what it is if you wanna make money.
