Is Your Job Going To Be Replaced By ChatGPT?

Knowing whether your job is at risk from ChatGPT and other Artificial Intelligence programs is important. Here we outline the top seven careers that might someday soon be primarily run by artificial intelligence. 

SEO Professionals – There is no denying that ChatGPT and similar technologies will have a transformative impact on SEO. The industry is already beginning to incorporate these technologies, with many professionals utilizing ChatGPT for keyword research, strategy development, content creation, and reporting tasks. However, it is important to remember that change is an inherent aspect of search engine optimization.

It is important to note that, despite their advanced capabilities, AI-powered programs will always possess a different level of creativity and unique perspective than humans. They require guidance and input from human experts to function effectively, which limits their knowledge of current events and makes the contributions of human professionals a vital component of their operation. Additionally, fact-checking and verification is still necessary for human.

It is important to note that currently, Google’s guidelines prohibit using AI-generated content for SEO purposes. Businesses that take SEO seriously should be unwilling to risk the negative consequences that come with non-compliance. Additionally, anti-AI detection algorithms could be better, leaving companies at risk of being flagged as spam.

Additionally, AI-driven SEO may need help to reconcile conflicting information and determine data accuracy effectively. Therefore, human oversight will likely continue to be necessary for the foreseeable future to provide creative input and strategic direction and adjust to changes in search trends.

Pay-Per-Click Specialists – PPC specialists need to be more concerned about the impact of ChatGPT and other AI technologies on their jobs. This may be because they have already accepted the reality of the situation. You may have employed artificial intelligence, or equivalent technology, in your PPC campaigns at least once. Automated Rules are a rudimentary form of AI that allows you to create rules for frequent situations.

Combining several of these rules is important to ensure that your PPC account doesn’t get drained when confronted with a bug or other unusual situation. Apart from ChatGPT, the same philosophy applies to PPC. It will likely automate the bidding process using statistical learning techniques based on real-time data. AI will also significantly contribute to campaign management, reducing the labor required.

Even though human PPC specialists are still necessary to perform the creative aspect of PPC, we don’t think ChatGPT or any of its competitors will eliminate human workers soon. In addition to the creative element, human PPC specialists steer the company’s ship. Human customers, brands, and values make a logical path necessary for the foreseeable future. This means that a human will have to create a logical course for every organization for the foreseeable future. In addition to diagnosing where the company went wrong, a human will also be required to train AI to make the right decision.

Programmers – Programming is a widely pursued and often lucrative career choice. However, one of the key capabilities of ChatGPT that has been widely discussed is its ability to write code. The concept of code being generated by code without the risk of human error is certainly compelling.

Furthermore, ChatGPT has demonstrated the ability to pass certification exams, which could raise the standards for entry-level positions and make it more challenging for junior developers to secure employment opportunities.

While the potential for ChatGPT to write code is certainly intriguing, it is important to note that the technology still needs to improve its capabilities. While it may produce simple code such as “Hello, World!” in HTML, it is currently incapable of handling more complex applications. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that Stack Overflow, a popular platform for programmers, banned the use of ChatGPT after it was found to provide incorrect answers.

As the technology continues to grow and improve, it may increasingly take on tasks such as creating boilerplate code, performing quality assessments, and debugging existing code, allowing human developers to focus on more complex and challenging tasks such as architecture.

AI coders could make coding simpler and waste less. Still, they might also create new jobs in the sector, including prompt code executors and developer advocates (people who bridge the technological and non-technical worlds). All this extra programming power will likely produce new programming jobs that people have yet to consider. We know from Moore’s Law that technology grows at an exponential rate. Therefore, every time a profession closes, a new one will open.

Sales Specialists – The use of big data and AI in the sales process has the potential to revolutionize the industry. These technologies can make sales more efficient and effective, from more accurate targeting to behavior prediction. Likely, you have already experienced the impact of these technologies in your own life, as retailers use data analysis to make predictions about your purchasing habits. For example, store reward cards and discount key fobs are often used to collect data for analysis.

However, it is necessary to note that this has been happening for some time now. As early as 2012, Target’s data-mining efforts were able to identify a teenage girl’s pregnancy before her father was even aware of it. And since then, the capabilities of these technologies have only continued to improve.
Despite this, it is unlikely that the sales occupation will become obsolete. Legislators, particularly in Europe, are taking action against tech companies that use algorithms and AI, implementing laws focused on privacy and consumer protection.

As a result, companies like Google are reducing user tracking, and third-party cookies are being phased out. These developments may limit the application of AI in sales and marketing for the foreseeable future.

In addition to the limitations imposed by privacy laws, the most crucial aspect of closing deals in sales is building trust with clients. And trust is often built through personal relationships, a key aspect that AI may not be able to replicate.

Many sales departments already use CRM tools to identify potential clients and automate marketing. Chatbots embedded in websites have also made it easier to collect information.
However, that does not mean that AI-powered language models such as ChatGPT will have no role in the sales process.
It is essential to note that while ChatGPT may be able to reshape the sales process by automating administrative tasks, it will never replace human interaction, which is a fundamental aspect of building trust and closing deals.

Writers – As a professional writer, the emergence of AI-powered language models such as ChatGPT is a cause for concern. The ability of these models to generate readable and engaging written content in a fraction of the time required by human writers raises questions about the future of creative writing.

While the initial output of AI-generated content may have been unintelligible, as seen in the 2016 short film “Sunspring,” advancements in language models such as ChatGPT have made it possible for AI to produce coherent and engaging written content. This includes not just headlines and synopses but also creative writing, such as in the case of a horror film about a haunted pocket watch.

However, while the output of these models may be coherent and pass copyright laws, it remains to be seen if they can produce truly original and inspired content. The ability to quickly generate similar content with slight variations raises questions about the potential for formulaic and uninspired writing.

As the capabilities of AI-powered language models such as ChatGPT continue to evolve, concerns have been raised about their potential impact on the field of professional writing. While creative writing may offer some level of protection for writers, other forms of writing, such as journalism, whitepapers, and other non-creative writing, are also at risk of being subsumed by AI.

How AI systems are trained limits their ability to access and incorporate the latest events, making them ill-suited for breaking news and new developments. Additionally, AI may find it hard to replicate the emotional and personal aspects of writing, such as voice, nuance, emotion, and style, that are important in journalism and creative work.

However, there are many routine writing tasks that AI can do efficiently, such as creating product descriptions, ad copy, video synopses, and other time-consuming and repetitive jobs. While automated intelligence may take over some of the roles of professional writers, AI will only replace writers somewhat shortly. Moreover, the human desire to create will likely keep writing a popular activity.

Attorneys – At first glance, the legal field may seem like an area where AI technology can progress significantly. The law is, after all, a set of codified instructions that can be analyzed and applied to real-world cases.

AI-powered tools such as ChatGPT have the potential to analyze legal documents, decisions, and precedents and apply that knowledge to real-world cases. However, the legal field is also a field that deals with people, not absolutes, and as such, there will always be possibilities that even the most advanced AI technology cannot account for.

This is particularly true for criminal trials, where every situation is unique and mandatory minimum sentences have been met with criticism. The same holds for civil trials, divorce proceedings, bankruptcy, and other legal issues. In all these cases, legal decisions are based on a complex set of factors that consider each case’s unique circumstances. And that’s why it is unlikely that AI technology will replace human lawyers entirely shortly because the legal field is not only about codified instructions but also about people.

Educators – Education is a complex and multi-faceted process that goes beyond mere knowledge transfer. It involves the development of critical thinking, social skills, emotional intelligence, and more. And these are areas where even the most advanced AI technology cannot match the capabilities of human educators.

Human intangibles such as patience, discipline, friendliness, and genuine concern for students’ well-being are essential to effective education. While AI-powered tools such as ChatGPT may assist with certain tasks such as grading, progress tracking, and creating personalized learning plans, likely, they will never be able to replace human educators fully.

However, this does not mean that AI technology will have no role in education. It can improve accessibility, personalize learning, and enhance the educational experience. The advancement in technology will change how education is delivered, but it will not replace the human touch in education.
