Our jobs could be under danger from ChatGPT

OpenAI's ChatGPT has been used to compose cover letters, produce a children's book, and even assist students in copying their essays since its launch . Although a 2013 University of Oxford study found that over the next 20 years, AI could eliminate 47% of US jobs, that prediction seems to have been off. According to a recent Goldman Sachs report, 300 million full-time jobs worldwide might be affected by generative AI technologies, which could cause a "significant disruption" in the labour market.

Jobs in the media (journalism, technical writing, content development, advertising)

ChatGPT may have an impact on all media occupations, including those in writing, journalism, technical writing, and any position requiring content generation. This is so because AI can effectively read, write, and comprehend text-based data.

Jobs in the legal sector (paralegals, legal assistants)

This is due to the fact that there aren't many jobs in the legal sector, and those that do exist have already been heavily impacted by AI automation before the development of new AI technologies. Similar to media occupations, paralegal and legal assistant employment in the legal sector entail ingesting a lot of information, synthesising it, and then distilling it into a brief or opinion that can be easily understood. But once more, AI won't be able to fully automate these tasks because it takes some human awareness to understand what a client or employer wants.

Analysts for market research

AI specialises in data analysis and outcome prediction. Because of this, market research analysts might experience change brought on by AI. Market research analysts are in charge of gathering information, spotting trends within that information, and applying what they learn to create a successful marketing campaign or choose where to place advertisements.

Finance careers (personal financial consultants, financial specialists)

AI may have an impact on positions such as market research analysts, financial analysts, personal financial counsellors, and other positions in personal finance that call for manipulating enormous quantities of numerical data. When used by, example, a financial institution to anticipate a better investment mix, AI can recognise market patterns, highlight which assets in a portfolio are doing better and worse, and convey all of that information.

Graphic designers

A possible disruptor of the graphic design sector is an AI tool that can produce images in a matter of seconds. Workers in "creative" fields such as art and graphic design may potentially generate better work with the aid of AI technologies like ChatGPT.

Agents of customer service

It's likely that you might have noticed a robot answering a customer service call or online chat. ChatGPT and similar technologies could keep this pattern going. According to a Gartner survey from 2022, by the year 2027, 25% of businesses would use chatbots as their primary customer care channel.

Accountants

Although most people consider accounting to be a stable profession, even those who work in this field could face risk. Although it hasn't yet eliminated all jobs, technology does so for some people.
