The Bots are Here
Advances in AI technology pose a real threat to hundreds of millions of jobs. It'll happen much sooner than most people think.
There's been another exponential advance in the AI realm.
OpenAI has made a significant stride in the AI field by releasing its latest ChatGPT this week. The new capabilities are game-changers.
As someone working to learn a new language, I find the ChatGPT real-time translation of conversations quite extraordinary.
Have a look at this video of it facilitating a conversation between an Italian and an English speaker.
Ok. That's pretty handy for anyone seeking to travel to far away lands that use different languages. While I always recommend travellers know a few local phrases, some places simply don't have English in common usage.
In those cases, technology like this could literally be a life saver.
But there was another part of the technology demonstration that prompted a vastly different reaction.
When I saw it, after the initial awe, I could only think of how many jobs it will replace, and likely much, much sooner than many people expect.
Have a look at this.
