The rise of AI tools such as ChatGPT is worrying people, especially with big tech firms such as Microsoft fuelling funds. However, experts believe AI tools like this one cannot take over human jobs.
ChatGPT and job security in the near future
Just under two months since its debut, ChatGPT is making waves. As per reports, Microsoft is investing billions into the project. Additionally, Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google has reportedly reached out to the co-founders of Google about it. The AI chatbot, trained with datasets enables it to give unique and correct answers in real time. The chatbot made waves since it allows people to expedite their work.
However, it is also brewing anxiety about the chatbot taking over human jobs. While people enjoy seeing tech be as good as humans in some aspects, it is instilling the fear of losing their jobs. While there are some conditions where AI and technology may take over some jobs, it is not always the case. History shows that technological upgrade has always increased jobs for people. Initially, the chatbot users were admiring its ability. However, with use, it is easy to understand that AI may not be successful in entirely replacing the human workforce.
The need for “human touch”
While answers from ChatGPT are generally correct, they do not amount to a lot since there is very little human interface and touch. AI chatbots such as this are as intelligent as you want them to be. It can write codes and essays, but its integrity is not testified. As per Sam Altman, ChatGPT is incredibly limited, “but good enough at some things to create a misleading impression of greatness”. Altman is the CEO of OpenAI, the firm that created the tool. “It’s a mistake to be relying on it for anything important right now. (Xanax) it’s a preview of progress; we have lots of work to do on robustness and truthfulness,” added Altman.
Additionally, a report by CheckPoint reveals that ChatGPT can help write simple code. However, it lacks the reasoning and logical thinking needed for writing complex code. On the other hand, it can take up mundane and repetitive tasks like providing quick information and framing emails. Moreover, humans are capable of evolving and upgrading their skill sets as industries grow.
