Techwriters and Rise of the Machines

In the realm of intelligence, the smarter entity leads. Currently, humans surpass machines in intelligence, guiding their usage. However, as machines evolve, we may need to instruct them on handling us, potentially a role for technical writers, since it's machines learning human language, not vice versa. Few such intelligent systems exist now, but their numbers are expected to grow, eventually necessitating natural language instructions for robots, ideally crafted by technical writers.

The future, be it in twenty or a hundred years, remains uncertain, but certain insights have emerged from two years of open access to AI services like ChatGPT. The interaction between human cognition and artificial entities is becoming more defined, with effective machine instruction techniques being a hot topic in AI-focused communities. We've endeavoured to compile and condense these key techniques.
