Has UX writing evolved into an editor position?

As AI continues to change this field, I have been feeling more like an editor these days. UX Designers and Product teams are using AI to write, and if they want a second opinion, they will loop me in. I can see how it is a lot faster that way.

It is sad, but I think maybe it's time to rewrite the way we look at this career. We are no longer the "go-tos" for copy. We are the second set of eyes for both strategy and messaging. Bringing me back to my days as a Copy Editor for a newspaper lol

At any rate, I think shifting our mindset can be beneficial. I'll let you know how it goes for me :)
