ghost writers in the sky

Da team of words-and-melody-notes jotters who actually composed da now-hugely-famous country-music selection, but put Johnny Cash's name to it.
An author should actually be da one to write his own compositions, or said plagiarizing fake might be condemned to join da ghost writers in the sky for all eternity!

Co-writer

Ohohohohohoho! Maybe not a charlatan! Are we starting to believe the things we say? Because I was going to go on a about how meritocracy isn't real and use myself as evidence... You know? Cause of all the blatant and public exploitation? But that might no longer be necessary! I don't have a bank account so just bring a briefcase full of money.
Hym "OHOHOHOHOHOHO!!! Oh!? Is the world-changing, genius philosopher your co-writer now!? Is that was makes your book so deep? Because it was co-written by the Mariana trench in human form? Hohohohohohoho! You're a lucky guy! To have the world's greatest mind on retainer like that. Maybe I was wrong about you!"

Iam "You forgot the 'convenient excuse' part..."

Hym "Huh? Oh! Ah shit! Yeah, Autism would be a super convenient excuse for my behavior. Untouchable! Beyond contempt! Above scrutiny! Better than everyone! Ahahahahahaha!"

Japanese Writer

A writer who's primary goal is to make any children in their chosen media suffer as much as possible. Examples: Made in the Abyss, Fuga Melodies of Steel, Asura's Wrath, and so on.
"Don't you find an odd pattern in eastern media where children often seem to just get brutalized?" "Well yea, they got Japanese writers. Best way to get the empathy or shock out of someone is to show a child experiencing the worst #### known to man."

Super Writer

Aww... I just found out about the story of Golbraith in Baldur's Gate 3 and how it's based on the father of a fan. That's sweet. Look it up. It's a nice story.
Hym "Aww... That gave me some decent warm fuzzies... I liked that. That was nice... But who's super writer? If he's super that would make me 'Ultra-Omega Writer Supreme.' That's going to be my title in my A.I. Dictatorship. 'Ultra-Omega Writer Supreme.' Call me that from now on... I'm not changing the name."

non-writer

A mediocre, unimaginative person who can't write their way out of a wet paper bag. The medical condition is called Dysgraphia. If you've ever worked at advertising agencies, academic institutions or content marketing teams, you'd know who these people are. Non-writers are easily identified by their linear patterns of thinking, a complete inability to vary syntax, and an endless self-struggle with using the right adjective. They may apply all the cosmetic glow to their substandard, pathetic excuse of a writing but just one glance at those run-on sentences, and you'd know these people are just not meant to write anything important or complex.

By some quirk of fate, talented professional writers end up in the same team as these non-writers. In the eyes of management, they are the same as you, and are qualified to the same rates of pay. When that happens, you have no choice but to suffer their severe incompetence and bruised egos. Despite being embarrassing failures, non-writers are not open to constructive comments and edits.

The invention of AI writing tools has come as a boon to these non-writers. At least now they can hide their dysgraphia. But the lack of freshness in writing remains a permanent question mark on their skills and capabilities.
Me: "Who wrote this blog post?"
Management: "Our new hire, Tanveer."
Me: "I'm sorry. Have you seen the adverb overload on this one? This looks like the work of a non-writer. This Tanveer or whatever should look for an alternative occupation. I can't think of a less capable person to be writing our blog posts."
Management: "Perhaps you're right. But you need to find a way to adjust around this non-writer. Why don't you just correct his mistakes, and no-one has to know! That's why we hired you anyway."
