Here are the ratios I used:

40 pieces for 11 freelance writers

80 pieces for 50 freelance writers

The Rise of AI — and Squashing Get-Rich-Quick Schemes
In November 2022, ChatGPT launched to the public. Anyone could write a short text prompt and generate … well, anything. That includes full-length blog posts with proper headings.
