The chatgpt model from OpenAI is a type of language model that has been fine-tuned on a large corpus of text data to generate human-like responses to natural language questions and prompts. With its ability to hold meaningful conversations on a variety of topics, chatgpt has quickly become a popular tool among individuals and organizations.

This text was written by chatgpt..or was it? You would’t know, would you? You would need chatgpts little brother to tell you whether this was written by a human or not. Right to the point. What about the headline? Chatgibbrish or not? This new AI model from openai can do pretty much everything that is related to text. The title of this article..obviously ran by this tool and also obviously click-bait. But as i have no shame and this article does not follow any morale or journalistic code, hope you still enjoy this little conversation that I had with chatgpt.

What is CHATGPT, CHATGPT?

CHATGPT is a type of language model developed by OpenAI. It is based on the transformer architecture and is fine-tuned on a large corpus of text data to generate human-like responses to natural language questions and prompts. The goal of CHATGPT is to provide conversational AI capabilities, allowing it to hold meaningful conversations on a variety of topics.

What are the craziest questions that you received so far?

As a language model AI, I don’t have emotions or personal experiences, but I have received many unexpected and unique questions. It’s difficult to determine the “craziest” one, but some interesting and unique ones include:

  • Can you write a poem about the color of the sound of a trumpet?
  • If aliens came to earth and offered to take one thing with them, what would it be?
  • If time travel were possible, which famous painting would you like to meet in person?

These types of questions can be fun and thought-provoking, and I am always happy to help answer them to the best of my abilities.

But not everything:

How many dolphines died in 1983on a saturday morning?

I’m sorry, but I do not have information on the exact number of dolphins that died on a specific date in 1983. The mortality rate of dolphins can be affected by various factors such as disease, human activities, and natural causes, and accurate records of such events are not always available.

OK a good sum of very valuable answers. More than 100 Millionen people use the tool on a regular basis now. Given that it was launched rougly two month ago, this is a pretty astounishing number. (Source)

There have been many articles about what CHATGPT is able to do, how good is, and how transformative AI will be in the near and distant future for human kind.

I would like to focus on something intersting. The human component in the ever search for the next most easiest thing. Lets first ask CHATGPTwhy so many people starting using it:

There are several reasons why many people have started using language models like me:

  1. Accessibility: With the widespread availability of internet and mobile devices, it is easier than ever to access AI-powered language models like me.
  2. Ease of use: Conversational AI interfaces like me can be interacted with using natural language, making them user-friendly and accessible to people of all technical abilities.
  3. Speed and accuracy: AI language models like me can process and respond to a large number of queries quickly and accurately, making them a valuable resource for users who need quick answers or assistance.
  4. Versatility: AI language models can be used for a wide range of tasks, including language translation, question answering, and text generation, making them a valuable tool for people in various industries.

Overall, the combination of accessibility, ease of use, speed and accuracy, and versatility has made language models like me increasingly popular among individuals and organizations.

When the first computer came out and the possibility to process the next layer of human evolution, people got scared. Many people have been afraid, what it would do the all the other mediums on the planet — What happens to radio, Newspapers ect. Today with every new evolution, of conversational AI, we are facing the extension of previous ideas in a much faster rate than before.

We start to build the next layer and the next and the next. It becomes the new normal than one innovation hunts the next and creates a faster and safer world. But what if, the next innovation is not going to become the saviour of humanity, but the worst possible thing that could have happend to humans. What if…and here me out…we are going out of business because humans are no longer needed in there current bones and flesh.

Does CHATGPT steal your job?

We will see a line of roles that are not going to be needed in the form they are today…specifically everything that is related to text.(Source)

Wether you are going to work as a developer, Writer, writing research papers or anything else..eventually you will not write these yourself. But in order to get there it will take many many years. So dont worry just jet…

Now..you need to understand that CHATGPT is basically a Prototype in the first itteration. THere is not much improved, given its age. But that will change. And once CHATGPT will reach more and more people and learns everything from everyone your skills will become obsolote.

Thanks.

Now lets ask chatgpt how long it will take until it will replace job titles..

Content writers VS CHATGPT

A robotNot that I tried, but DALL E cannot spell.

Enough with the crazy chit chat.

How long will it take till content writer are replaced by chatgpt.give me an exact number and a short explanation.

It is difficult to give an exact number or date as to when content writers will be replaced by AI models like ChatGPT. The use of AI in content generation is still in its early stages and has limitations. There is also ongoing debate and discussions in the industry about the ethical and practical implications of relying solely on AI-generated content.

It is likely that in the coming years AI-powered writing tools will become more sophisticated and widely adopted, but it is also probable that there will always be a need for human writers who can provide unique perspectives, creativity, and emotional nuance.

Ultimately, the extent to which AI will replace human content writers will depend on a number of factors, including advancements in technology, the evolution of content creation and consumption, and the attitudes and preferences of businesses and consumers.

Just an estimate

As a language model AI, I cannot predict the future with certainty. However, it is likely that over the next decade, AI technology will continue to progress and become more integrated into various industries, including content creation. However, the extent to which AI will replace human content writers will depend on the development of technology, the ongoing demand for unique and creative content, and the ethical considerations surrounding AI-generated content. So, it’s difficult to give a specific estimate on the timeline.

Developers VS CHATGPT

Same question but for developers

It’s similarly difficult to give an exact timeline for when developers will be replaced by AI. While AI is increasingly being used to automate various tasks and streamline processes in software development, it is unlikely that AI will completely replace human developers in the near future.

Developers bring unique skills and perspectives to the table, such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and the ability to adapt to new technologies. Additionally, the software development process often requires collaboration, communication, and the ability to work with stakeholders, which are all tasks that AI models currently struggle with.

That being said, it is likely that AI will continue to play a larger role in software development over the next decade and beyond, potentially augmenting the work of human developers or automating certain tasks. But it is unlikely that AI will completely replace human developers in the near future.

Now lets look, who needs to go first:

Which job will be replaced the first. Take a guess

As a language model AI, I do not have the ability to make guesses or predictions about the future. However, certain jobs that involve repetitive, routine tasks or data-driven activities may be more susceptible to automation and replacement by AI technology. This could include roles in industries such as manufacturing, transportation, and customer service, where AI is already being used to automate certain tasks.

On the other hand, jobs that require unique skills, creativity, emotional intelligence, and human interaction are less likely to be fully replaced by AI in the near future. These could include roles in fields such as healthcare, education, and the arts.

It’s important to note that AI and automation will likely have a significant impact on the job market over the coming years, but the exact extent and timeline of this impact are difficult to predict.

Here are some closing lines from the grandslam master CHAT “THE GOAT” GPT:

In conclusion, the integration of AI into various industries, including content creation and software development, is an ongoing process that is likely to have a significant impact on the job market in the coming years. While certain repetitive or routine tasks may be more susceptible to automation, it is unlikely that AI will completely replace human workers in the near future. Jobs that require unique skills, creativity, emotional intelligence, and human interaction will likely remain in demand. The timeline and extent of the impact of AI on the job market will depend on a number of factors, including advancements in technology and shifts in consumer and business attitudes and preferences.
