Kenyans Made a Living Writing College Essays. Then A.I. Arrived.

Many people in Kenya make a living by writing essays. They write these essays for students who study in other countries, or overseas. This job is very important for thousands of Kenyans. It gives them money to live and support their families. It is a big part of their income.

But now, something new is here: Artificial Intelligence, or A.I. A.I. is a computer program that can write essays very fast. It writes them like a human, so students do not need to pay people anymore. Because of A.I., the work for Kenyan writers has almost dried up. There are no more essays to write.

This situation is a warning. Many people around the world do online 'gig work' to earn money. This means they do small jobs online. If A.I. can do these jobs, many people will lose their income. It shows a big change for online jobs everywhere.
