#1 Mistake I Made as a Copywriter
Learn how a seemingly straightforward Upwork project turned into a challenge, and why AI can’t replace humans.
AI has quickly become a popular tool in the writing world. It offers convenience and speed that many writers find appealing.
From generating ideas to creating content in minutes, it can be incredibly useful for tasks like brainstorming, drafting, or handling repetitive writing projects.
Some writers even rely on AI to take care of the bulk of their work, assuming it can replace the need for human effort.
But as helpful as AI can be, it’s not without its limitations — and for copywriters, those limitations can become major roadblocks if you’re not careful.
I fell into this trap once on Upwork — thinking AI writing would be simple and save me tons of time. I learned the hard way that it’s not always that easy.
I applied for a project on Upwork that involved writing 50 short reviews for 24 different products using AI (yes, the employer had it mentioned in the JD).
It sounded simple and easy (a quick 50 bucks) — just 50 words per review, and with AI’s help.
