Is Chat GPT replacing human jobs? Pros, Cons, and limitations of the AI chatbot

The day is not far enough when technology will take over everything!

The beginning can be considered with the launch of Chat GPT technology. Speculations have been made that this powerful tool is replacing human jobs and probably your CEOs won’t need you in the near future.

Aren’t machine learning algorithms supposed to be helping us in our jobs? How come a chatbot can get you dismissed from your job?  Is AI powerful enough to replace the way human brains function?

Let’s find out about the advantages and downsides of the AI chatbot and discuss if it is really going to kill your job or help you perform better at work.

What is Chat GPT and GPT3?

Chat Generative Pre-Training Transformer also known as Chat GPT is a benchmarking AI technology developed by OpneAI. It is developed using 175 billion parameters which makes it the largest language model ever created. The massive scale of development is the reason that this chatbot understands and generates results in human-like language.

How does it work?

The pre-training of this chatbot is done with a dataset. It produces a network of interconnected layers, in which input texts are processed and the output is provided. It works on a transformed-based architecture, which means the chatbot has a human-like ability to understand and do multiple things at once.

The interesting thing about Chat GPT is that it is not connected to the internet. Hence, it doesn’t work like a search engine and only relies on the data processed in the pre-training phase. Collaborations are on the way with Microsoft to make it work like a search engine after the integration of Chat GPT with the biggest rival of Google i.e. Bing.

Currently, GPT-3 is free to use via the official website of Open AI. However, pricing information and models are available for commercial use of this chatbot.

What are the benefits of these AI chatbots?

Chat GPT was developed as a language processing tool with the intended use for non-commercial and educational purposes. You can use this revolutionary AI tool for various tasks like writing code, debugging code, content creation, translation, etc.

A prompt can be given on the text box provided and the chatbot will process millions of words in seconds to write a code for a website or write a 500-word essay, poem, or blog post on the given topic.

Linguistic models in this chatbot are based on the technology of deep learning, hence it offers a magnitude of benefits. It already created quite a buzz around the world as developers are using this tool not just to debug code but to find quick fixes in their codes. This AI technology produces impressive results and its human-like ability truly revolutionized the way we use computers and technology.

Are there any downsides to the increasing reliance on chatbots?

Chat GPT processes massive amounts of data to generate the human touch. However, the fact that it improves the functioning of NLPs is giving a misleading impression about its greatness. Needless to say, Chat GPT is capable to understand and generate human-like text and developers can rely on it to write code and fix bugs. There is a fad about comparing the responses of Google and this AI chatbot saying that Google is in trouble. Though, there are some limitations to this AI-powered technology.

Despite continuous training, it can be said that the model is relatively newer, and complete reliance can lead to biased or wrong answers. According to a Twitter thread, the parameters used in this chatbot are massive in scale, and therefore running GPT-3 can be quite expensive. Concerns are already raised about the sustainability of using this technology. 

Will Chat GPT kill your job?

Chat GPT can be used for educational and non-commercial purposes, however, speculations have been made that in the near future, it might replace human jobs of generating AI art, content creation, software development, and data management and manipulation.

Nevertheless, critics argue over its veracity. The limitation of training data leads to higher rates of incorrect answers. The tool is beneficial for generating human-like language, but the content generated via such tools definitely lacks critical analysis and has a higher chance of being biased.

On the other hand, this AI-powered tool can only develop simple codes in JavaScript, Python, and React. Proficient coders will still be needed to write code for complex applications. A higher number of developers are excited about the support they can get from this tool in coding and the dread is minimal about replacing their jobs.

To sum it up, developers no longer have to write basic codes as they can save time and improve their efficiency with Chat GPT. However, human intervention is necessary and will always be to modify the codes and make necessary amendments to fit the needs of their clients. AI coders and AI content creators are definitely helpful and replacing humans in basic tasks. However, AI is not ready enough to handle intensive work that needs critical analysis. Hence, it can be concluded that Chat GPT-3 can be a great tool to improve your coding and writing efficiency but it is definitely not going to replace your job.
