ChatGPT is coming for your jobs – the terrible ones, at least

ChatGPT is coming for your jobs – the terrible ones, at least

Machine learning models can do content processing and data sanitation work better and more affordably than people participating in crowdsourcing platforms, according to a trio of researchers.

And that’s not necessarily a bad thing for job seekers since some of the jobs likely to be affected seem pretty awful.

University of Zurich researchers Fabrizio Gilardi, Meysam Alizadeh, and Maël Kubli examined how OpenAI’s large language model ChatGPT handled text annotation – adding labels to text to help machine learning models better understand – compared to crowdsourcing platform Amazon Mechanical Turk ( MTurk ). For those who don’t know, MTurk allows you […]

Why Work? On AI and Automation

Why Work? On AI and Automation

As I write this, Britain’s ‘summer of discontent’ is being followed by an equally disaffected winter, with a walkout from 50,000 rail workers still not showing signs of slowing down and instead increasingly of being accompanied by further industrial action in other sectors. A combination of rampant inflation and falling real wages has led to the worst cost of living crisis for decades, and narratives of ‘quiet quitting’ and generational burnout are seemingly increasingly resonant.

Against this backdrop, it might seem like an odd time to write an article examining the merits of work. Yet, perhaps somewhat optimistically, the current […]

Monday Morning Moan - AI: time to wear a black tie for the death of white-collar jobs?

On 27 January, the SONO Music Group, a record label that talks about nurturing acts so they can flourish as a “collaborative family”, tweeted that it was using ChatGPT to help its artists write, pitch, present themselves, and come up with ideas. This begged the question, if it cared so much about creative people, then why not employ some to do those jobs, rather than an AI?

“That’s the first option over all”, SONO replied when I asked them. Fair enough. (But please note, creatives are now optional.) However, for many companies the answer to that question is simple: talented […]

No technology in modern memory has caused mass job loss among highly educated workers. Will generative AI be an exception?

In the next five years, it is likely that AI will begin to reduce employment for college-educated workers. As the technology continues to advance, it will be able to perform tasks that were previously thought to require a high level of education and skill. This could lead to a displacement of workers in certain industries, as companies look to cut costs by automating processes. While it is difficult to predict the exact extent of this trend, it is clear […]
