I swear if one more client hands me a document that was obviously just dumped into chatgpt and asks for "a quick polish" I'm going to lose my mind. they think because the words are technically english, the job is 90% done. No, it isn't. It reads like a robot trying to simulate human emotion. There's zero rhythm to the copy, the idioms are translated literally (yesterday I got "they are hanging noodles on your ears" instead of "they are lying to you" ?????), and the hook is completely dead Like I get it, budgets are tight. using an ai translator or whatever for bulk internal docs or SEO filler is fine. But this is your main sales landing page. You can't just machine-translate persuasion Now I have to have the awkward conversation where I explain that I essentially have to rewrite the entire thing from scratch to make it actually convert. which means charging my normal copywriting rate, not some cheap hourly proofreading rate. and then they inevitably get mad because "the AI already did the heavy lifting" just exhausting tbh. sorry for the rant, just staring at a google doc right now that makes absolute zero emotional sense and dreading the slack message I have to send to this guy.   submitted by   /u/Safe-Breadfruit-7555 [link]   [comments]
