Maybe not online but in person for sure.
Online we’ll need some other means of identification.
But who knows, maybe talking like a human is harder than I think. 🤔

Do we though? There are nuances and ways of speaking that cut through, that at this point make bots obvious. It’s like watching a community play vs watching a show on broadway. Maybe we will get to a point where we can teach a computer to act like a human, but it is a long way off. Personally, I hope we don’t ever get there.
Yeah not sure if they’ll ever get to our level or nuance and expression / reactions. Black Mirror did a great job portraying the limits of what an AI could understand. There’s so much dependent on a person’s history of behavior, body language and micro expressions that AI may never fully understand.
But maybe it could? Never say never.
For sure. Trying to predict what’s going to happen in the next 3 years, let alone 10, is a fool’s errand. It fun to speculate and explore, but to trying to predict is near impossible 😁. Wasn’t I supposed to be printing parts for my car by now? Or new parts for my fridge? 😉😁
I do believe that technical writers are not long for this world. They will be the first to be replaced. However, poets, playwrights, screenwriters, and novelists will remain for much longer. It could even be the case, that their works become elevated as a result. In turn, the everyday man’s writing may too, so as to differentiate themselves from a bot. More humour, more use of figurative language, more use of inference etc. that is more difficult to replicate.
