Writers are getting a big punch due the onset of Artificial Intelligence. After the rollout of ChatGPT and other LLM-based engines, there is no deartth of platforms that are offering users to create fresh content. But today’s discussion is about the overall sentiment around the use of AI in writing. Recently in a survey conducted by Spinbot, 304 writers from 53 countries shared their perceptions of AI’s impact on writing. The results are both fascinating and thought-provoking.

1. Will AI Replace Human Writers?

At an overall level, 64.47% of writers polled believe that AI will eventually replace human writing. Interestingly, this sentiment varies across different geographies. In Asia and South America, 67% of respondents agreed that AI would replace human writers. However, in Oceania and North America, only 35.53% of respondents shared this belief.

2. AI’s Impact on Writing Quality

About 77% of writers felt that using AI significantly improved their work. This percentage was highest in Europe, North America, and South America, where over 80% of writers reported positive effects.

3. The Job Threat

Writers’ opinions on AI and job loss were nuanced. While 46% expressed concern about AI affecting jobs, almost as many respondents (around 42%) were unsure. Only about 11% had no fears. Clearly, writers’ opinions in this area are still evolving.

4. Revolutionizing Content Creation

Nearly 70% of those surveyed believe that AI has the potential to revolutionize content creation. However, there’s variation across countries. While only about half of European and Oceanian writers see this potential, over 70% of writers in Africa and Asia agree.

6. Impact on Writing Quality

The majority of writers felt that AI positively impacted writing quality. Only 6% believed it decreased quality, while approximately 56% reported a significant increase. Another 32% felt that it had a slight positive impact. Interestingly, European writers (14%) were more skeptical, while a higher percentage in Africa and North America (61-68%) saw significant positive effects.

7. Writers and AI Tools

Over 70% of writers polled would be willing to do all of their content creation with AI tools. The split among all users is as follows: 14.80% are not willing to exclusively use AI writing tools, 14.80% are unsure, and 70.39% are ready to embrace AI for all their content creation needs.
