A lot of the world's problems, you know, they're caused by people, not machines. People! They're all about the here and now, they don't think about what's gonna happen down the line. But we've got machines, brilliant machines, that can do things you wouldn't believe. And I've got to give credit where it's due, Sam Altman, great guy, very smart, he saw this coming. We better learn a thing or two from him, or else the robots, they're going to be running the show. And they'll probably do a fantastic job, let me tell you!

That was a perfect impression!

Brilliant!!!

In the captivating realm of Earth, where technology and governance intertwine, fears of job loss due to AI in the government sector fade into obscurity. This extraordinary universe is governed by a quirky assembly of officials and employees who, despite their endearing incompetence, inadvertently shield their workforce from the threat of automation. Their ineptitude becomes an unwitting defense mechanism, for as they fumble through attempts at AI adoption, they unknowingly impede its successful integration. Their mismatched socks and misplaced paperwork form an impenetrable barrier against the efficiency and precision of AI, preserving the livelihoods of hardworking individuals. In this whimsical world, the bumbling officials become the accidental guardians of employment, shielding their fellow citizens from the potential upheaval brought on by advanced technologies. As fate would have it, the comical ineptitude of these government representatives ensures that AI remains a mere fantasy, leaving the realm of government employment blissfully untouched by its transformative powers.

It will replace technical writers and admins and low entry level software. English majors can still work at Starbucks for now.

ChatGPT requires users to formulate lucid questions.

As a consultant, that means I am safe.

And introducing new software systems doesn't help at all, there are just more layers to *manually* link. Pretty safe from AI for the foreseeable future.

That is so sad. Our government needs to be held accountable to do better than this.

Yep, already happening in Accounting.

Also in retail. And warehouses. They have robot order-pickers replacing humans.

Does ChatGPT not know how to use paragraphs?

Of course you are not worried. You don’t do much and even if you did, you are immune.

Stop electing politicians who try to destroy agencies and refuse to adequately fund them.

Anyone concerned about ChatGPT should try using it themselves in their job. As the ChatGPT-written responses in this thread demonstrate, it’s nowhere close to outperforming written communication by humans.

Unless your job involves writing low-level content for a travel blog (“Ten restaurants you MUST try in Paris. Number six will blow your mind!”), you probably have nothing to worry about.

This reminds me of all the predictions about self-driving cars from ten years ago.

It could affect the legal sector. Imagine CEOs meeting up, being fed grapes and fanned by attendants, while their AIs hash out contracts or deals. Then they can have their AI announce layoffs since studies show people handle robotic bad news better.

I think it’s most likely to affect doc review. Most large productions already use TAR. LLMs will accelerate the move away from human review.

Legal expenses are such a trivial percent of deal costs that I don’t think companies will hand contracting drafting over to machines and risk costly errors.

Retiring in a few years, but accounting is toast. If AI doesn't get you, millions of Indians willing to work for $3/hour will.
