The Emerging Picture of a Changed Profession: Cyborg Technical Writers — Augmented, Not Replaced, by AI

I’m giving a presentation at Louisiana Tech University on March 30, 2026, on what I’m calling the cyborg model of technical writing. The tldr is that I feel the emerging model for tech writing isn’t one in which AI replaces tech writers; instead, it’s one in which AI augments tech writers. Tech writers interact with AI in a continuous back-and-forth, iterative process, representing the cyborg model.
