ChatGPT and other LLM tools have already replaced some marketing and social media writers as many companies decide cutting costs is worth the drop in quality. ChatGPT took their jobs. Now they’re dog walkers and HVAC techs.

@JohnPhilpin Here you are--gift link. wapo.st/3IWFk8u And yes, it's classist to equate HVAC repair to dog-walking.

These days, if I were to give career advice for a young person whose criteria was decent pay and good job security, I'd steer that person out of college and into skilled labor.

@MitchW thankyou very much

Experts say that even advanced AI doesn’t match the writing skills of a human: It lacks personal voice and style, and it often churns out wrong, nonsensical or biased answers. But for many companies, the cost-cutting is worth a drop in quality.

I wonder if Pranshu Verma and Gerrit De Vynck have been on Social Media?

for many companies, the cost-cutting is worth a drop in quality.

well yes- but
- it gets there faster
- works 247
- doesn’t need paying
- and sometimes *improves** quality
