ChatGPT is likely to lead to the replacement of numerous knowledge workers

'I've been experimenting a lot with ChatGPT', says David Gewirtz, a Senior Contributing Editor for ZDNET.com in February 2023. Gewirtz has asked it to develop code, alter writing styles, offer technical help, and even compose an episode of a well-known TV program for me thus far. All of these instances saw success.

It undoubtedly displayed limitations. In responses longer than 800-1500 words, it seems to fail. After several inquiries, a debate might occasionally lose its focus. Moreover, it is capable of making some egregious mistakes, as this actual answer graphically illustrates:

One word similar to "devolve" that begins with a B is "debase".

The hard halt on its knowledge is one important way in which ChatGPT's capabilities are constrained. In 2021, the corpus will expire. Since 2021, ChatGPT has been completely ignorant of all news, trends, problems, and popular cultural subjects.

Nonetheless, ChatGPT is enough for a variety of activities.

Publishers, who are often the human consumers of written content, don't have a high bar for knowledge quality. Less clever titles won't bother them as long as they get more Google juice. If it means generating income more quickly, they'll frequently put up with items of poorer quality. If it enables them to strengthen the areas of their offers where they are lacking, they will accept good enough.

Why do editors frequently accept "good enough"? because information consumers in humans frequently lack judgment. Readers will put up with blatantly absurd beliefs if they help advance a beloved worldview. Because they lack the time or desire to independently verify each claim, they will accept fabricated data as reality. The acceptable and even preferred replacement for competence is now social proof.

This is partially the reason why political supporters on both sides have opposed ChatGPT. It doesn't matter if an AI engine can create content that may replace employment. Well, the problem is that not all of ChatGPT's replies correspond to the themes and positions that those political devotees favor as their doctrinal interpretations of social proof.

Nonetheless, ChatGPT is still enough. It works well for creating fliers, tales, blog entries, and a variety of other things. It performs adequately. Sadly, the work that companies and clients demand from the majority of entry-level and lower level knowledge employees is only somewhat above acceptable. So, ChatGPT could be able to replace those employees, or at the very least combine many roles into one position where the employee can compose prompts and adjust AI output.
