Carly you’ve been SMASHIN it. And yay to a Carly × Elizabeth intellectual collabo!!
I’ve long admired people who can write like they talk, and aspire to do that myself. I don’t consider myself a writer but I do value my voice and what it sounds like!
I love this. I'm a copywriter, so I often worry about the cascading effects on my profession and livelihood. The upside is the more I can produce nuanced, unexpected copy, the greater chance it has of making an impact compared to AI-produced BS.
Great article. “Watch your thoughts; they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.”
Loved this line: "The issue isn’t whether people can write, but whether they believe their own voice is worth preserving." There's so much to unpack here! It bums me out to think that someone who loved a video game didn't feel they could review it as well as a machine that never played it could. (I'd also think it takes more time to use AI in that instance than to just write up what you think, so that's a head-scratcher for me!)
Also, the J. Peterman copywriting example is amazing, and I wish this amount of copy still existed in commercial advertisements. I just read a 1967 magazine from cover to cover, and the amount of creative writing in the advertisements was incredible. It was better than the editorials!!

Excellent, thank you.
