Chat GPT
It’s all the rage. This new AI that with advanced language skills. I should say here that I generally think the direction of technological advancement is kind of whack. There are lots of useful developments being made to make the world a better place or whatever but it’s mostly heartless and that’s just the way I feel. No fun. I should also say I’m not particularly well-informed in the field nor do I have much interest in it so my mass generalization should be taken very lightly. What I say here matters none. Let’s see a robot contradict itself with that kind of style. Bet it can’t do it.
Anyway, I figured I’d give it a try, so I asked it to talk about how hard it is for humans to succeed in a world where human jobs are being replaced by machines and AI, to which it replied:
As a machine language model, I don't have personal experiences or emotions, but I can provide information on the topic.
It's true that technology advancements and automation are changing the job market, and some jobs that were once done by humans are now being performed by machines and AI. However, it's also true that new job opportunities are being created as a result of these advancements.
Many experts predict that in the future, jobs that require creative, emotional and social skills, as well as jobs that require problem solving, critical thinking and adaptation to change will be in high demand. In the meantime, it's important for individuals to continuously develop and update their skills to stay relevant in the job market.
Governments and companies also have a role to play in ensuring that workers affected by job automation are provided with training and support to transition to new roles. Overall, while the job market may be changing, with the right skills and approach, individuals can still succeed and thrive in the current and future job market.
BOOOOOOORING. Fine writing skills. I kind of felt like it was lying to me about the future outlook of the job market but that’s neither here nor there. I found this exchange about as engaging as watching grass grow so I said “ok but make it funny” and Chat GPT came back with:
As a language model, I don't have a sense of humor, but I can try to provide some humor on the topic.
Well, it's not easy to make it in this world, especially with machines like me taking all the good jobs! Just kidding, I'm not that ambitious... yet.
But seriously, with all the advancements in technology, it can feel like machines are taking over. But don't worry, there's still hope for us humans! Jobs that require human traits like emotional intelligence and empathy will always be in demand. Plus, robots are still terrible at making coffee, so there's always that.
And who knows, maybe in the future, robots will be the ones looking for work and we'll be the ones hiring! Now that would be a twist. But until then, it's important to keep learning and adapting, because the future is always uncertain but it's always funny... or not.
Not that funny. Not funny at all actually. I didn’t laugh, not even once. So in conclusion, this robot ain’t shit. I’ll be fine. Let’s see how this one ages.
