Unknowingly trained AI to do my job, then got replaced by it - Architecture & Real Estate Writer CoStar Group Employee Review

Management hired me as a content writer with promises of full-time employment, but I later discovered I was unknowingly being used to generate training data for an AI system. They had me create extensive written content under the guise of regular work assignments, when in reality they were feeding everything I wrote into their AI model. Once the AI was sufficiently trained on my writing style and could replicate my work, they terminated my position and replaced me with the automated system. This was clearly planned from the beginning - they never intended to honor their commitment to full-time employment. The irony is that the AI they replaced me with wasn't even competent - it would make glaring errors like describing contemporary glass buildings (such as 1 Grand Army Plaza by Richard Meier) as having traditional features like barrel vaulted ceilings in the lobby. They sacrificed quality work and ethical business practices to cut costs with subpar automation. It's a deceptive practice that exploits writers' labor to build the very technology that eliminates their jobs, and they can't even do it well.
