"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.

Late to the game so this might be new to some of y'all too.

But the Technical Writing modules in the @developers.google.com ALSO talk about accessible and effective error messages, documentation... AND ALT TEXT. #accessibility #techcomm

A slightly updated #introduction as I'm closing out my tiny private instance and moving here.

I had stepped away for a bit, so I am hoping the move here really pushes me to refocus and re-engage with communities on Mastodon.

As for who I am:

I'm a researcher, writer, and developer living in Minnesota. I have a PhD in #TechComm with research interests in the #digitalhumanities and the #sociotechnical histories surrounding technology.

I work primarily in the #civictech and #nonprofit space helping organizations tackling homelessness.

I also talk a lot about #poetry , #art, and the random #ttrpg.

I am looking forward to re-connecting!

Enough with the "As a large language model..." fluff. Users want answers, not apologies. A direct tone in AI isn't just a preference, it's essential for clarity, efficiency, and trust.

Our new post explores why directness is the future of human-AI interaction and how to design AI personas that get straight to the point without being rude.

"Hello Hachyderm! 👋 The Technical Editor here. I care about plain language in tech because no one should need a decoder ring to understand an error message.

Just here to listen, learn, occasionally promote my YouTube Channel and post the odd tip.
