Academic Writers Dabble in AI Training?

With AI taking over most of the academic writing tasks that used to be available to writers, and also, due to the commercial lean towards AI generated content for scripts and copywriting, how many of us AI writers have started to veer away from academic writing totally? I have heard about some writers who have decided that if they cannot beat AI, they might as well join the bandwagon. So they are now trying to get into the cut throat and competitive world of AI training.

Their job, which I think is next to impossible, is to help AI sound human when it delivers information. They don't have to write code, they have to keep writing on given topics and feeding it to AI and refining the tone of AI until it sounds almost human. Let's see a show of hands, how many of us believe that AI will never gain human logic and therefore, will never sound human when it churns out information for students and researchers?

I think that writing will remain in some form for several years from now.

Writing will forever remain. The form of writing is what is constantly changing at this point. Unfortunately, the way that AI affects writing for students and professionals also affects their individual ability to analyze and think for themselves. Taking the AI word for granted when it should only be used as a writing aid and tool, it should not have the author role itself.

Look, as a senior, I can tell you that AI still needs a ton of work before it actually sounds like us. It's just not there yet when it comes to capturing the vibe of a freshman or even someone about to graduate.

The weirdest part is that when you let it run wild or ask it to sound "high-level," it swings way too far and ends up sounding like some PhD candidate or a Master's student. It loses that authentic college voice completely. Honestly, the tech needs way more training on how real students actually write. I even know a few people who are doing AI training as a side hustle to try and fix this, but for now, it's still pretty easy to spot. It's far from sounding like a real person in a dorm room, though I guess it might get there eventually.
