What this task is
Writing titles, selling points and detailed descriptions for products in online stores, highlighting materials, specs and uses, often for hundreds or thousands of items at a time.
How AI replaces it
From 2021, large language models could generate descriptions in bulk from product attributes and images, following platform rules and keyword requirements. By 2024 most routine product copy was AI-written.
What stays human
Copywriters set the brand voice and templates, review copy for flagship products, and keep refining the approach based on conversion and sales data.
