An open letter to those who fired tech writers because of AI/LLM. passo.uno/letter-those-who-fir

all valid arguments here, no doubt. but, the decision makers are currently drunk on the AI/LLM Kool-Aid. They are firing employees simply to fund expensive GPUs or API services from the likes of OpenAI/Google & co. At this point, it feels like talking to a wall, they don't understand the human side of the problem, the products, or the suffering they cause. They are living in an alt bubble. It is a madness

To those who fired or didn't hire tech writers because of AI

Hey you, Yes, you, who are thinking about not hiring a technical writer this year or, worse, erased one or more technical writing positions last year because of AI. You, who are buying into the promise of docs entirely authored by LLMs without expert oversight or guidance. You, who unloaded the weight of docs on your devs’ shoulders, as if it was a trivial chore. You are making a big mistake. But you can still undo the damage.
