What do you do for a living?

My job is to help create topics in Community, but one day I hope to grow up and be a sysop. What about you, what do you do?

Thank you, I'll bear it in mind.

It's good timing for me in a way because keeping isopods etc. is relatively new. So, while there's a lot of video content out there, there's a dearth of written content. I'm having to learn a lot by trial and error but this is letting me create fresh content that isn't just re-written from other content on the net.

AI written content is poor now but it will continue to improve ever closer to human writing standards. But it will always be limited in the sense that it's basically a souped-up search engine that can only create content from other content that already exists. AI will never be able to replace direct hands-on experience from a human perspective and I intend to take full advantage of that.

DuncanThePig very true. Hope you keep pursuing this direction, as authentically creative human content is always lacking, and that is what we all are looking for.

I am a B2B business developer, market researcher and sourcing consultant - worked in the corporate environment in Milan for 25 years, then became an independent professional at the beginning of the pandemic and joined Upwork in 2020, which was lucky in a way, as that helped me landing my initial remote projects. Freelancing allowed me to turn my passion for history and art into paid projects as history researcher, which I added to my service portfolio. As an historian and research coordinator, I helped an Australian family locating original documentation of a trial at a martial court from WW2, which the Italian National Archive initially said it did not exist. :D Another project lead me to locate the tomb of some Albanian nobility from the Renaissance in Southern Italy, with the help of a smart local guy who visited a number of churches and crypts on my behalf, as we were in lockdown. I also did an engaging research for a US screenplay writer for a movie project. Unfortunately, decently paid history research projects in Upwork are a rare find! I am always on the lookout for them :) As a free hobby, I am the host and contributor to crime & mistery broadcasts in Italian Youtube channels, and collaborate with some Italian crime writers. Have you ever heard of the Monster of Florence? I do research in this space as well, including crime cases in France and UK for comparisons. 😉
