Just as Microsoft was announcing the model\u2019s upcoming release, we heard that it wasn\u2019t really about <a href=\"https:\/\/headtopics.com\/us\/chatgpt-s-4th-gear-in-ai-race-gpt-4-coming-next-week-announces-microsoft-36469550\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wiping out jobs<\/a> for humans. AI is here to help us with the routine, menial tasks, not to leave us pesky meatbags biting the dust. Those baby dragons in <em>Game of Thrones<\/em> were also cute at first, and look how that turned out.<\/p>\n<p>I am not saying it\u2019s not cool that GPT-4 can build you a game within minutes or turn your hand-drawn sketch into a website. Neither am I saying that companies will fire their Web design teams en masse and stock up on pens and paper. The sky is not falling (yet), and the process we\u2019re looking at will be more complex and more multi-sided than the doomsayers may think. But it\u2019s not all sunshine and rainbows either.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-chatgpt-how-much-human-is-enough\">ChatGPT: How much human is enough?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Consider this: Microsoft is gearing up to <a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/ai\/how-microsofts-investment-in-chatgpt-could-reshape-big-tech-as-we-know-it\/\">integrate ChatGPT<\/a>, the mighty creation of OpenAI, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/microsoft-plans-to-build-openai-capabilities-into-all-products-11673947774\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">across the board<\/a> in its product suite. We\u2019ve already seen Google and Facebook rush into the AI race as well, so we can expect AI-powered services to proliferate beyond belief, growing more powerful with every generation. Soon, generative AIs will be everywhere, generating business decks, writing code, creating CGI effects in movies and taking on hundreds of other tasks that humans used to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTasks\u201d is a good word, an AI optimist would say, as it means other tasks, presumably more creative and exciting, would be up to us \u2014 humans \u2014 to do. Well, not necessarily. To see how that could play out, let\u2019s take this amazing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GVT3WUa-48Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">animated short<\/a> that was made by shooting live footage and processing it with Stable Diffusion. The creators trained the model on stills from a specific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.technollama.co.uk\/openness-ai-and-the-changing-creative-landscape\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">anime show<\/a> to mimic its style and added special effects for some extra oomph.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><html><body><\/p>\n<div id=\"boilerplate_2803147\">\n<h3>Event<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p><span>Transform 2023<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"gm0a52976\">\n<p>Join us in San Francisco on July 11-12, where top executives will share how they have integrated and optimized AI investments for success and avoided common pitfalls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/avolio.swapcard.com\/Transform2023\/registrations\/Start?utm_source=vb&#038;utm_medium=incontent&#038;utm_content=landingpage&#038;utm_campaign=T23_incontent\"><br \/>\n                Register Now            <\/a>\n                        <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/body><\/p>\n<figure>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ANIME ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GVT3WUa-48Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s say we want to open a studio and shoot similar shows. We\u2019d want to have our own style, though, because we want our work to stand out, so we hire an artist to draw us a bunch of stills that all bear the unique mark of human talent and creativity. <\/p>\n<p>We train our model on it and there we go \u2014 we don\u2019t need the artist anymore. We can produce our show cheaper and faster than traditional studios, and as long as we stick to this style, the human artist doesn\u2019t have to be involved anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So yes, for now, humans will continue to be involved; the questions are, how many humans, and how involved? A small startup will likely be happy to outsource most, if not all, of its content needs to AI, and it would probably make sense for larger companies too. <\/p>\n<p>This removes a certain number of writer jobs, making the professionals in the space compete for room that grows tighter by the day. The same logic applies pretty much everywhere else, from coding to visual design, even accounting for the new \u201cmachine whisperer\u201d jobs for people who are really good at telling AIs what exactly to do.<\/p>\n<h2>Old automation with new tools<\/h2>\n<p>We can celebrate the empowerment that comes from generative AIs \u2014 it\u2019s now easier than ever to write a book, create visuals for a webpage or build a helpful script or tool. But this empowerment comes at the expense of the gradual dripping away of opportunities for people, even if it comes to such things as a one-off gig on TaskRabbit. As AIs grow more sophisticated, they will compete for jobs at higher levels, across more industries, to the point where human professionals will begin to fall off hard.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, let\u2019s not forget that besides the AIs coming for digital-focused roles, there are also the good old robots that came for manual labor. Again, their rise has been a more <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2021\/11\/automation-doesnt-just-create-or-destroy-jobs-it-transforms-them\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">complex process<\/a> than both critics and advocates would want you to think. <\/p>\n<p>You can do it in a way that wipes out hundreds of jobs while creating a select few positions for high-skill engineers and code wizards, or you can actually do it in a way that saves jobs, as they did in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilo.org\/global\/about-the-ilo\/mission-and-objectives\/features\/WCMS_715170\/lang--en\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sweden<\/a>. The scales don\u2019t have to tip toward the former if you throw generative AI into the mix \u2014 but the temptation will be there.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-chatgpt-and-the-future-of-ai-workers\">ChatGPT and the future of AI workers<\/h2>\n<p>When you factor in that machines powered by AI are taking over manual labor, things take an even grimmer turn for the human job market. Take a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/cool-tech\/yanu-robot-bartender\/https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/cool-tech\/yanu-robot-bartender\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">drink-mixing robot arm<\/a>, pepper it with ChatGPT, and you get a robotic bartender that can fix you a drink based on your mood or a whimsical description of what you\u2019d want it to taste like. Or what about a gourmet pizza dreamt up by an AI and cooked by a robotic chef? Don\u2019t forget to tip the delivery bot that drops it off, and spare a thought for the humans that could have otherwise done the job.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pushing this idea forward, it\u2019s not hard to envision a point where a construction company would have an AI (owned by one of the big tech names, who else?), build a detailed 3D model of a building and then let a swarm of construction drones bring it to life through the miracle of 3D printing. No humans involved, and very few humans paid, of course, but that\u2019s only an afterthought.<\/p>\n<p><em>Max Thake is cofounder of <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaq.network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>peaq<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"boilerplate_2736392\">\n<h3 id=\"h-datadecisionmakers\">DataDecisionMakers<\/h3>\n<p>Welcome to the VentureBeat community!<\/p>\n<p>DataDecisionMakers is where experts, including the technical people doing data work, can share data-related insights and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to read about cutting-edge ideas and up-to-date information, best practices, and the future of data and data tech, join us at DataDecisionMakers.<\/p>\n<p>You might even consider\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/contribute-to-datadecisionmakers\/\">contributing an article<\/a>\u00a0of your own!<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/category\/DataDecisionMakers\/\" target=\"_blank\">Read More From DataDecisionMakers<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<\/html><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/ai\/yes-microsoft-chatgpt-will-actually-wipe-out-jobs-and-more-than-you-think\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Max Thake, peaq<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 14, 2023 11:07 AM Join top executives in San Francisco on July 11-12, to hear how leaders are integrating and optimizing AI investments for success.
