Is ChatGPT and Layoffs are Related?
In recent times, the launch of Chat GPT has caused a stir in the market and left many people wondering about its use. While some people are happy about the creation of chatbots, others are apprehensive about losing their jobs due to the growth of Chat GPT. Layoffs by various companies have also added to the confusion, leaving many people to wonder if Chat GPT is responsible for the job losses.
According to a survey conducted in February 2023, more than half of the companies present in the market are relying on ChatGPT, causing layoffs. The new technology is currently in the new phase, but its growth will affect the job responsibilities of numerous employees, including content writing, coding, and customer support.
However, it should be noted that Chat GPT cannot replace humans completely in many fields. For example, Chat GPT can write captions or content with given instructions, but it cannot create unique ideas like humans. Furthermore, Chat GPT can complete basic coding tasks, but cannot solve complex coding problems. Hence, the requirement for technical experts will not be gone for a decade.
Although Chat GPT might result in the loss of jobs in various industries, it cannot replace humans completely in the near future. Humans will have to adapt to this change and work accordingly to maintain and acquire relevant market-changing skills.
Content Writing Jobs
Content writing jobs cover a broad section, related to media, advertising, technical writing, blogging, journal article writing, and many more. These jobs are much more likely to be at risk due to the advent of Chat GPT because AI is able to write, read and comprehend tasks very easily, thus making the work done by humans much easier. Many content companies have also laid off employees and are using Chat GPT to create unique content for them.
Technology Related Jobs
The second category that falls under the risk category is technology, it includes jobs related to coding, software engineers, data analysts, computer programmers, etc. Programming is a trending skill but is at risk of being taken over by AI. Chat GPT can easily displace many tech-related jobs due to its accuracy in completing tasks. In many cases, it has been seen that Chat GPT can code faster than humans hence, the work can be done with less number of employees.
In conclusion, Chat GPT is one of the reasons for layoffs in some specific industries thus creating a huge impact on the market. However, in certain industries, the AI chatbot has become a helping hand, making them work more efficiently and can also produce better job opportunities. The usage of chatbots can become very common in the near future, reducing the number of jobs for humans.
