ChatGPT: Benefits, Threats & What is Next

Date

Having only been launched in November 2022, ChatGPT is already reaching over 100 million users and is growing in popularity around the world. ChatGPT which stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer is an AI chatbot that uses natural language processing to create humanlike conversational dialogue. 

ChatGPT’s database only has information up to September 2021, lacking knowledge of current events. The site is predicted to generate $200 million in revenue by the end of 2023

Benefits

ChatGPT has taken the internet by storm for its ability to almost instantly create a response to prompts. It is extremely time-saving if you are trying to create content, write blog posts, and even write hundreds of lines of code. ChatGPT can assist with generating ideas and offering suggestions which in turn boosts productivity and has the capability to become a great tool for brainstorming and expanding on current conversation. 

Threats

With the rise of ChatGPT also comes the threat of AI replacing the need for certain jobs. For example, media jobs such as content creation and journalism are being substituted with ChatGPT and AI. BuzzFeed is quietly publishing articles that are written by AI and received a lot of negative feedback. Since December, BuzzFeed has laid off 12% of its workforce and is relying more on AI technology to produce articles and quizzes. For industries that rely on human interaction, there is the high possibility of job displacement due to AI technologies which include

  • Customer Support Representatives
  • Data Analysts
  • Translators and Interpreters
  • Journalists

What’s Next

As ChatGPT continues to gain traction and revolutionize the way we interact with AI, the future holds exciting possibilities for its development and the broader field of AI technologies. Here are some key areas to watch out for.

  1. Enhanced Language Understanding
  2. Ethical Considerations
  3. Domain-Specific Expertise
  4. Multimodal Capabilities
  5. Collaborative AI
  6. Responsible Deployment and Regulation

ChatGPT has made significant strides in transforming how we engage with AI, offering valuable benefits for content creation, brainstorming, and various other applications. With continued advancements and responsible use, ChatGPT and AI technologies as a whole can bring about transformative changes across industries and society as a whole.
