ChatGPT and AI are already changing the world. From November 2022 to February 2023, ChatGPT gained 100 million users. As of March 2023, the website has 1 billion visitors per month.
Many are wondering whether AI will displace them.
So, I asked ChatGPT how many workers it expects to replace by 2030. It answered with this: “McKinsey Global Institute says up to 375 million workers, or roughly 14% of the global workforce, may need to switch occupations or acquire new skills by 2030 due to automation and AI.”
SharonAI promptly double-checked this and found McKinsey shared that in 2018. So, we’ll give ChatGPT a bye due to its transparency about being not-so-current. Still, let’s remember:
- AI is not intelligence—it is prediction.
- AI can only work with inputted data.
- AI can still only do one task very well at a time (for the most part).
- AI lacks emotional intelligence.
- AI needs to be fact-checked.
- AI can hallucinate.
- AI has difficulty with ethics and morality. #yikes
Given those itty-bitty flaws, perhaps we should stop eeyore-ing about AI and thank it for keeping us on our toes. SharonAI humbly suggests turning your AI-frustration into passion for learning more. Focus on what you can be and be grateful you’re not a machine, right?
