If a programmer changes careers, how can he start a new copy of his career?
This commonplace topic recently has a new answer: becoming an AI writer.
According to a report from Changjiang Cloud News, Lanmao, a female programmer born in the 1980s, began to use AI to assist in writing novels after her resignation. Within half a year, 16 novels have been signed with online novel platforms.

End the life of working as a worker for many years and start a new career dungeon
Speaking of which, this is due to Lanmao's hobby of "coding" during his more than ten years as a "code farmer".
Her love for writing has always been Lanmao's source of happiness after work, and she enjoys it.
To date, Lanmao Code has published a total of 65 short stories of less than 10,000 words. In the past four years, he has written five million-word science fiction and fantasy novels.
With the support of his family, Lanmao chose to resign this year and officially bid farewell to the life of a coder with "long-term overtime work and heavy pressure."
While recuperating his body, he officially started a new copy of his profession, "novelist" and "freelance programmer".

Used AI to create 16 novels and successfully signed a contract with the platform
Fortunately, Lan Mao's new career started smoothly.
Her proficiency in using AI technology has greatly increased her writing volume.
Normally, she will use various functions such as "continuation, expansion, polishing, and naming" in the AI tool.
She said frankly: "With AI assistance, a five thousand-word novel can be written in one or two hours. A ten thousand-word novel can be written in three or four hours."
For example, in the "Mom is Superman" she wrote, the original sentence was just a simple "sentence", and the AI immediately responded with 5 paragraphs of descriptive text.
After receiving the first draft of AI writing, Lanmao will refine the text, adjust the structure, and finally form a complete article piece by piece.

In addition, Lanmao also said that writing that "all depends on the human brain" can easily run out of inspiration.
Every time you fall into a writing bottleneck, AI will be used to provide new inspiration, text, and plot trends, and it can also make up for your own shortcomings of being too rational in thinking and not good at sensationalism.
So far, 16 of her novels have used AI tool assistance and have successfully signed contracts with novel platforms.
Among them, the most highly rated one received a rating of 8.2 from netizens.

It is worth mentioning that Lanmao is not currently a full-time writer.
When she is not coding, she will also take on projects as a freelance programmer, which can ensure both code and writing while ensuring an increase in income.

Unemployment alarm or integrated development?
There is no doubt that "survival as AI technology advances" has become a new issue.
Many years ago, Kristian Hammond, the founder of Narrative Science, an American company in the algorithm field, boldly predicted that by 2030, more than 90% of news will be completed by robots.
The predictions turned out to be true. In recent years, as AI technology has gradually penetrated into daily life, there have been many successful cases in the field of AI-assisted writing.
In 2016, the writing robot "Zhang Xiaoming" jointly developed by ByteDance and Peking University Computer Institute-Wan Xiaojun's team created 457 event reports during the Rio Olympics, with a output that "beat" reporters.
In 2017, "XiaoIce" launched by Microsoft published the first collection of poems "created" by artificial intelligence, "Sunshine Lost the Window".
In 2018, the novelist Ross Goodwin followed the example of the great writer Jack Kerouac and took a road trip across the United States and wrote the novel "The Road", with AI as the main author.
In 2022, NetEase announced the launch of an AI music creation platform that can produce lyrics, music, and arrangements in 10 seconds.
After the release of GPT-4, one stone stirred up waves, and the AI creation method attracted everyone's attention and discussion.
Some people believe that AI provides more possibilities for careers, and many “AI writers” will emerge in the future:
“The collision between AI technology and human thinking may produce some interesting results in novels”;
"Perhaps some content with novel value, new meaning, and new themes can be discovered by AI."
Some people hold a conservative attitude and believe that AI technology can never completely replace human creativity and imagination at this stage:
"It cannot replace humans in writing high-level novels. The advancement of technology always depends on humans."
"AI still has a long way to go before it can reach the level of human creation of literature."
Many people also expressed that it seemed as if the "alarm bell" of unemployment was ringing in their ears , calling out: "Literature workers are in danger!"
