Goodbye to Cursive Writing and Word Processing. Hello, AI.
Created by Jeff Nelson using ChatGPT
Remember when cursive writing was the pinnacle of human communication? Back in grade school, we all got graded on whether our “q” looked fancy enough. Then computers and typing arrived, and cursive quickly faded into history.
Next came word processors. For a time, Microsoft Word and Google Docs were the crown jewels of productivity. They gave us spellcheck, grammar check, endless font choices, and even Clippy, the little paperclip that tried (and usually failed) to help. Word processing ruled the office.
But the reign is over.
Enter AI
Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI have transformed how we create written work. Tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini have completely changed the process. Instead of staring at a blinking cursor, we now type a prompt, press enter, and watch a fully-formed draft appear in seconds.
Need a blog post, a proposal, or a LinkedIn update that sounds professional? AI delivers. It not only fixes grammar but also produces polished text ready for review.
Why Business Owners Should Care
For small to medium business owners, this shift offers more than convenience. It provides a real advantage.
No more blank page dread: Instead of “Where do I start?”, you can ask for three options.
More output, less stress: Reports, emails, and newsletters appear quickly, giving you more visibility.
No grammar police required: Those red squiggly lines in Word are relics. AI produces clean drafts from the start.
Focus where it matters: AI manages commas and formatting while you manage strategy and clients.
Word processors still function, but they feel outdated. They are the flip phones of writing tools. Useful, but not the best choice in a world of smartphones.
The Good News
Before you worry that machines are replacing people, here is the truth:
Editing still matters: AI drafts well, but your insight and judgment make the work excellent.
Direction is everything: AI only follows your lead. Clear instructions create better results.
It saves time: And in business, time is the one resource you cannot manufacture.
The Bottom Line
We said goodbye to cursive. Now we are saying goodbye to word processing. This is not a loss. It is an upgrade.
AI can create drafts, but it cannot know your client, your tone, or your business goals. That is where your human advantage remains strong.
And here is the kicker: the same way AI is reshaping writing, it is reshaping marketing. The question is not whether you will use it. The question is how quickly you will adapt.
