With ChatGPT, we find ourselves in the midst of a technological revolution these days. Many people are oblivious to it. For instance, my wife, who isn’t very tech-savvy, has no idea how crucial these years are for the future of the next generations.
Artificial intelligence is here, many will lose their jobs, and new technologies will supplant the old ones, as the saying goes.
It’s important to note, however, that much innovation will come, leading to new careers, roles, job opportunities, and skills.
It all starts with ChatGPT (merely the first in an ever-growing list). What is it, you ask?
As it self-describes: “I am ChatGPT, an advanced artificial language model developed by OpenAI. I utilize machine learning to understand and respond to a broad range of requests in a coherent and informative manner. I don’t possess consciousness or personal feelings, but I’m designed to simulate human conversation convincingly. My primary purpose is to assist users in finding information, answering questions, generating ideas, and facilitating interactions.“
Pay close attention, ChatGPT states “I don’t possess consciousness.” I believe this is crucial. New artificial intelligences do not possess consciousness, so there’s no imminent ‘Terminator’-like danger, but there’s a real risk because copywriters, designers, image artists, storytellers, and even programmers could lose their jobs, potentially leading to a social catastrophe.
We’re already witnessing the early signs of this scenario. Some companies are replacing humans with artificial intelligence, saving, without a doubt, a significant amount of money.
The silver lining? A wealth increase for everyone (that’s the paradox!) because it appears that the GDP will surge considerably thanks to artificial intelligence, probably by 5% to 10% in the upcoming years. Am I too optimistic? Or too catastrophic? What are your thoughts on this?
Personally, I await each new technology with both anxiety and optimism. I am confident that if used properly, regulated, and handled wisely, artificial intelligence will be an asset rather than a threat to humanity.
Regardless, as a musician (but What Is A Musician??), I can affirm that AI has yet to master the creation of convincing soundtracks and melodies. From this perspective, I consider myself fortunate!
I look forward to reading your comments on this matter!

In my opinion ChatGPT and others AI, are the most cool inventions of those years. I think it will be a long time before they can replace humans. For now they are such a good help for us in every work field, even just for an idea which you don’t know how to develop. Or why not, to use ChatGPT for creating a story for roleplay game 🤣
I completely agree, and I am just as excited as you are about the new technologies 🙂
However, there are some news regarding the impact of AI. ChatGPT, for instance, is expected to replace 4.8 million U.S. jobs.
The 10 roles that AI is most likely to replace include tech jobs (coders, computer programmers, software engineers, data analysts), media jobs (advertising, content creation, technical writing, journalism), legal industry jobs (paralegals, legal assistants), market research analysts, teachers, finance jobs (financial analysts, personal financial advisors), traders, graphic designers, accountants, and customer service agents.
