A.I. Tries 20 Jobs | WIRED

The rise of ChatGPT and other publicly available A.I. tools has sparked numerous debates about its ability to reduce, or in some cases, completely eliminate jobs traditionally done by humans. What if we put the A.I. to the test? We asked people in many different career fields to use A.I. in an attempt for the A.I. to replicate their jobs. How close can it get?

This should be a yearly video, do this every year to see the evolution of AI

[zacwong]

Firefighter be like patiently standing there for 15mins for that one line.

[lasttime]

What's insane is that the A.I is still in its Infancy stage yet its able to do a like 30% to 70% right in each profession here.

[parseeval]

It's comforting to know that even A.I. struggles with finding the right career path.

[conormurphy]

20 humans try to justify their worth to the machines when they rise up.

[lelouchbritannia]

The software engineer was actually excited that the AI could do what she asked and was genuinely impressed but most of the other people felt threatened by the AI.

[shyboy]

I liked the humor, especially the part where they put an influencer among people with a real job

[TheFakeaccount]

I think it’d be much more interesting to get a skilled prompt engineer to ask GPT to complete these tasks. The prompts were really lacking, didn’t specify tone, etc.

[gudraider]

I love that the A.I .clearly did half of the "jobs" very well and most people were upset and just said it could not do their job.

[jessicaeastman]

Influencer: "this is a good caption, but MY audience would know"
Girl, it can do your job. In fact it did your job better than anyone else's.

[FernandoRisuenho]

As a doctor, I can see the limitations now, but they are improving super fast, especially in radiology.

[YTAccount]

I believe they were using GPT-3.5 in this video, however it would’ve been interesting to see this experiment replicated with GPT-4. The outcomes would’ve been considerably different due to the considerable improvements and refinements present in the latest version. It would have changed the calculus entirely.

We have a lawyer, a software engineer, a doctor and a therapist. And then we have the influencer who's job it is to write random captions to their holiday photos. Amazing

[coolboy]

You can tell who defends their job and who is being honest

[ghvhhgzg]

Just the fact that they needed many people for many jobs but only one AI 😂 I think shows where this is going

[EuSouPrimoDele]

The fact that AI is so recent and is able to nearly do so many jobs, just shows the potential.

[doriginalkillua]

"People don't lack knowledge, they lack the ability to follow through." Very insightful.

[dannydeko]

Overall conclusion: "AI can do my job but not as good as I can"

[JBPVFL]

I think the firefighter, therapist, and dr are the only ones that will be safe of these for a while. Oh and the circus worker too. The human interaction with most of them is a key part of the job, and the firefighter will be safe due to the limitations on robots.

[ShadowLurker]

That moment when your future job security is threatened before you even finish school because of AI.
