Freelancer writers are certainly perturbed to learn that ChatGPT wrote a $600 article in just 30 seconds considering how intelligent the Open AI has become.
Last time we wrote a blog post on the title: Discover how AI can do the job for you as a freelancer while you collect the payment, and it became one of our most read blog posts by freelancers and copywriters.
According to a report by Business Insider, a freelance writer said his amusement with Open AI’s ChatGPT turned to “horror” after the bot knocked together a nearly-finished marketing article in just 30 seconds. The report highlighted that:
- Freelance writer Henry Williams said ChatGPT wrote a convincing article in just 30 seconds.
- The article needed a little editing, but was worth 500 ($615).
- “I’m pretty sure artificial intelligence is going to take my job,” Williams said.
Writing in The Guardian on Tuesday, Henry Williams said the bot’s article needed a little editing — but once edited, was something he’d have charged 500 ($615) to write.

Williams said the bot’s article was simplistically-structured and written in an inhuman tone, but the “key points, the grammar, and the syntax were all spot on.”
The large-language model known as ChatGPT is lauded for its capacity to generate text that resembles human conversation and quickly attracted more than one million users shortly after it was introduced. Even though the chat bot has only been available to the general public since November, it has swiftly become a viral phenomenon all over the world, which has piqued the curiosity of top executives.
The skills of the bot are still being evaluated, but the technology has already shown potential by creating code and smart essays, and it has even passed an exam given at Wharton business school.
Williams, in an opinion post he wrote for The Guardian, made the suggestion that writers and editors “will still be needed, but fewer of them. A human will prompt AI to generate mountains of copy, only intervening again to fact-check, amend and approve.”
On the other hand, ChatGPT has shown a propensity to confidently convey incorrect material as factual, which has raised concerns that it may contribute to the spread of disinformation throughout the internet.
As a freelance writer, the time to embrace AI and integrate AI tools into your work is long overdue. AI has the the capacity to increase your productivity and earning. You can’t afford to miss out.
