Just as the news and hype of ChatGPT’s reign seem to start going cold, another mind-boggling feature, website, or app pops up every day. And after ChatGPT opened its implementation of API the A.I. revolution has picked up some real speed.
Many software integrated with A.I. has already started affecting sectors like writing, customer service, data analysis, and many more. This software and bots are turning out to be the best employees by not taking any coffee breaks, being cost-effective, and showing superior speed and efficiency.
With seeing perks like these, companies have already started implementing A.I. bots & software in their business models.
Why A.I. is changing the Job market:
Before starting the conversation about A.I., we need to understand that this is nothing new. Every time a major technological revolution comes, the job market as we know it rapidly shifts. History already shows us that the industrial revolution & .com revolution of the early 2000s did something similar.
If we analyze these revolutions, we can easily see a pattern emerging which looks something like this:
Stage 1: There will be early news that will spread everywhere which will amaze everyone. Yet most people will feel like it’ll pass just like so many other hoaxes.
Stage 2: The technology will keep advancing in the shadows, with some people utilizing it, and cultivating it, but most people ignoring it.
Stage 3: Chaos breaks when some real life-affecting breakthrough happens and every organization or person has to either accept it & implement it or get left behind.
Stage 4: Acceptance & implementation of the new technology to the point that it can’t be ignored anymore.
And again the cycle will repeat itself, but after multiple cycles of these technological breakthroughs, we have learned something:
There will always be the need for someone to use the technology, to tell it what to do, what to process, and what output to generate. And just like any programming or art, those who can learn how to use this will excel.
How to bulletproof yourself against ChatGPT:
There is no question about it, some form of AI tool will enter your profession. Now, you can either fear the A.I. or use it to flourish in your field, making you a stand-out candidate. If we talk specifically about ChatGPT, the correct way to use it is to train it to your specification by providing it with as much context as possible. And then use a precise prompt to get the output you want.
Let’s take a look at how some professionals can utilize ChatGPT right now to their advantage.
Bloggers:
For a single blog, so many hours are spent gathering information, researching, and sorting through endless articles. Just think how much time would be saved if you could get all the necessary information in seconds. And then you are left free, to focus on the creative part, you could unleash the real freedom of creative expression.
Artists:
So many artists, designers & creative professionals feel stuck because of the lack of equipment, tools & perfect conditions for creating their masterpieces. Even though they have the perfect idea in mind, the conditions, the lighting, and the model might not be in their favor. With A.I. tools like mid-journey, converting text to images & art. Having the right idea & right knowledge might be enough to create great art in minutes.
Programmers:
This is no hidden information that coders copy & paste the base of a code from Quora, or clone a repository from GitHub, and other sources. Well, no need to find the code you need, just ask & you shall have it in minutes. Now build on that base, and mold it to your liking. So many man hours would be saved by simply learning what & how to ask GPT.
Sales:
Cold calling, cold emailing, and messaging new clients are always a pain in the ass. And manually trying to come up with a personalized, new & creative format every time takes so much time. GPT can create 50 new email formats, each a little different, a little better than the previous one. Now you can use these formats to reach out to new clients in a much more professional & creative way.
These are just a few examples of some professions and how they can be refined. But, just think like this, what if Google started giving you the exact answer to your question, instead of 10 links for you to figure it out for yourself? Life would be so much easier, that’s exactly what GPT does for you.
Conclusion:
The proverb, if you can’t beat them join them, says it better than I ever could. The revolution has begun and in a digital world, hiding from it is impossible. But the good news is that it is only going to make things better for us. Yeah, there will be a transpose curve of uncertainty, but in the long run, it will generate new opportunities and new jobs that might not even exist yet. So make sure to ride this wave rather than let it wash over you & submerging you in the deep ocean of regret. Learn to use some new A.I. tools and you will be more skillful than you’ve ever been.
