how many overpaid jobs in DMV can be automated out to AI like ChatGPT?

[Anonymous]

So I plugged the header for this topic into ChatGPT ... At first it interpreted DMV as "Dept of Motor Vehicles" ... so I changed it to "DC area" and got this:

It's difficult to say exactly how many jobs in the DC area can be automated out to AI like ChatGPT as it would depend on the specific tasks and responsibilities of each job, as well as the specific industry and field. However, there are several tasks that have the potential to be automated, such as:

- Data entry and record-keeping: tasks like scanning, data entry, and record keeping can be automated using AI-powered software.
- Customer service: AI models like ChatGPT can be trained to provide information and answer frequently asked questions, reducing the need for human customer service representatives.
- Fraud detection: AI models can be trained to identify patterns and anomalies in records that may indicate fraudulent activity.
- Content creation: AI models like ChatGPT can be trained to generate written content, such as news articles, reports, and social media posts.
- Routine decision-making: AI models can be trained to automate routine decision-making tasks such as credit scoring and medical diagnosis.

It's worth noting that automating certain tasks does not necessarily mean that all jobs in the DC area will be eliminated, as there are other tasks that humans are still better at performing, such as problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, and decision-making under uncertainty. Automation is likely to change the nature of jobs rather than eliminate them.

That is more informative and articulate than 50% of the usual posters here, so it is getting close.

Yup. And the AI is now learning that DMV can refer to the DC region now and not just in reference to motor vehicles. See how fast it learns.

My son put in prompts for potential essay questions he had for a mid term exam. He was given 8 prompts to study and would have to write live in-class on one of them.

The ChatGPT answers were REALLY crappy. He had the system re-write the the answer several times (you can click "re-write") and it just kept spitting out the same surface-level crap.
IF he had turned in any of this verbatim or an at-home essay he would have received about a D-. It very surface level stuff and it was also about 200 words total.

I get that it will improve but not until someone writes current stuff on all of those questions and uploads it to some corner of the internet. Not likely.

Once again, it is basically the first iteration. Wait until 10 years from now when it is much better. Kids in high school now are screwed.

No guarantee this will happen. Again, look at self-driving tech. Ten years ago, we were promised fleets of self-driving cars by 2018. Instead, the tech plateaued early and remains impractical. As with self-driving, society is also deeply wary of AI. It’s far more likely we’ll see regulation. It may not come from congress, but expect it from licensing boards, etc.

Can hear to say this re: self driving. There’s absolutely no logic to “well sure it sucks now but inevitably it will later blow our minds.”

Most ai evangelists should look at how Tesla autopilot “learns”…low paid workers manually labeling images coming in from cameras. So very advanced! /s

They are constantly hiring for this role

Love it.

There’s a leap from automation to problem solving that’s more clear to people with programming experience and it’s hard to describe…..for me it is anyway. If I sit with someone for a while and watch how they work, I can figure out what can and can not be done by a computer. If you’ve ever worked to automate tasks (which is the vast majority of what computer programs do) it becomes clear that this technology is not CURRENTLY where it would need to be to actually replace many jobs. Kids using this to write term papers don’t understand that, eventually, they’ll all turn in the exact same or similar paper. It doesn’t have an unlimited number of papers yo write.

So, say you’re hoping to defend yourself in court. You’d be able to use this yo maybe pull up some cases and say well my case is like this one so I should be let off this charge. But. Really? That’s not what a lawyer is trained to do. A lawyer is trained to find that information and then use it to formulate an argument in real time against an unknown response. Computers don’t do well with unknown responses and they have no senses. They can’t read a room for mood.

Law is not a job this technology can currently replace and it’s not a job that you’d ever want it to replace. As someone who has programmed machines for most of my adult life and sat on a jury for just a few days…..it’s not something you’d ever want automated.

The question isn’t actually whether the artificial intelligence can do someone’s job. The question is whether someone using artificial intelligence on a daily basis is now so productive if they can do their own job plus yours plus your neighbors. I am a college professor and so far I’ve used, chat GPT to quickly write emails to students, to improve the comments and feedback that I have already written on student papers, to get an outline for a PowerPoint, that I am putting together, and to generate some handouts along the lines of “ here are some possible topics for a term paper having to do with the European Union” etc. I am a bit afraid that it for university administration figures out the things that used to take us five or six hours now take us 20 minutes, that they will immediately increase our course loads and assign us three or four times as many students as we currently have. In such a situation, in the future, there will be fewer jobs. They will not be no jobs, but there might be a third or a fourth, as many as there used to be.

Meanwhile the admin staff, which has sucked the life out of Universities continues to be overpaid for what they do.

Technology has been making white collar workers more efficient for decades and it’s true, the result is that we just do more and more. But somehow it also means more and more jobs to do more and more things.

AI for driving is a lot harder problem to solve than AI for rote, overpaid white collar work where you are just doing reports or making presentations.

Chat GPT can pass the Bar and US medical licensing exams.

Sweet!!!! This is good for everybody !!

Well, when computers came in the first place it seemed no one would have jobs but now there’s a whole industry around them. Things evolve and there’s no way to know what we do not know.

Lol government will be the last to implement this. Why? Because it will take an act of Congress and recent conservative decisions related to the Major Questions Doctrine will continue to punt decisions to Congress.

While Chat GPT3's results were impressive, Terwiesch noted that Chat GPT3 “at times makes surprising mistakes in relatively simple calculations at the level of 6th grade Math.”

An MBA might need more than 6th grade math. Just a guess though.

Nice selective cherry picking. ChatGPT still passed the exam with a B to B-, and clearly showed it could do many of the core tasks of analysts, consultants, etc. How convenient you left this part out:

Professor Christian Terwiesch, who authored the research paper "Would Chat GPT3 Get a Wharton MBA? A Prediction Based on Its Performance in the Operations Management Course," said that the bot scored between a B- and B on the exam.

The bot's score, Terwiesch wrote, shows its "remarkable ability to automate some of the skills of highly compensated knowledge workers in general and specifically the knowledge workers in the jobs held by MBA graduates including analysts, managers, and consultants."

ChatGPT is just exposing what everyone in the world has known all along....that people in professions like consulting who work for firms like McKinsey are the most overpayed people on the planet.
