"Are we heading toward an AI utopia, an AI dystopia… or something in between?

In this episode of Technical Writing Uncensored, I sit down with technical writer and blogger Fabrizio Ferri-Benedetti to talk about how AI and LLMs are changing technical writing — and what writers should actually be worried about.

Fabri writes the excellent Passo Uno blog, where he explores technical writing, AI, and the future of documentation.
Read his blog here: https://passo.uno

We discuss whether AI will replace writers, how technical writers can stay relevant, and why writers might actually become more important in an AI-driven world.

Fabri also explains why writers should think of AI as “a second language”, not something that replaces human expertise.

We also discuss:
Why AI is more like a tool (a hammer) than an autonomous intelligence
Why good documentation is essential for AI systems
Whether tech writers will become editors and prompt architects
Why writers need a “mental gym” to keep their thinking sharp

This conversation is a thoughtful look at the real impact of AI on technical writing, without the hype.

When will I learn? I'm playing around with #craiyon and it just can't wrap is tin brain around creating a picture of polymath #engineer #technicalwriter #RufusTurner in a logo. Here's a photo of Turner and the following are images of the logos. The only way to get a correct image was to use the qualifier #black or #blackman. Why is there an assumption in these modern times that all engineers are #white? #BlackMastodon #RadioHistory #wireless 1/3

"Your voice must be heard. Inside of your work, you need key stakeholders and teams to know what it is that you do and the value you bring to product development. Your docs are vital infrastructure, but folks won’t realize that until it’s too late. Unless, of course, you become an ambassador of your craft and start making yourself heard and present everywhere. One of the first things I did when I joined a startup was sending an email to the team telling them what I did. It became my first post.

Outside of work, this task is equally important, because tech writing has a depth issue. You must develop a sense of pride in technical communication as a vital discipline. Don’t shy away from intellectual engagement and contribute to the field by sharing your own thoughts, theories, and errors. Some career ladders label that as “thought leadership”. It’s really about showing up and owning the conversation around what we do and why it matters, moving beyond praxis to noesis."
