I think it goes in waves. Writing was the first to get hit by AI in Fall 2023, and most clients or paying parties shifted to AI immediately because it was cheaper or free. They dumped all their skilled writers and relied on a computer to be just as smart. They learned the hard way what was produced as shite, but that realization didn't sink in until a year later or longer. All the good writers are gone, either quit or went off to something else for income, so now these same clients are stuck with AI or rookie new writers. And the demand begins again for skill that knows what it's doing. AI won't go away; it's too easy to use. But the skill and quality of professional work is stil beyond AI currently, at least in writing with accuracy, style and checked research.
