    My friend is a technical writer and just lost her job because “chat GPT can do what you do!”

    She then informed me that she knew 11 other people who got fired due to the same thing. And now those companies are realizing how badly they fucked up and are frantically trying to rehire.

      My experience tells me that gpt is only good if a trained professional is behind the screen. If you fire a technician or a professional and fully replace it with GPT, it’ll be on you to see how much it backfires

        Replacing humans with AI is a bit like replacing a trained professional with a minimum wage, call center worker from a third world country. Sure it saves money and they can kind of do the job well enough so that if you squint it looks like the same thing. But the output is inevitably going to be subpar unless you retain a human expert manager.

        Anyone who has ever had to deal with code from India knows this all too well.
