With rise of GPT-4, many jobs will be on the firing line. For example, with the expectation of 10% letter writing will be done with the use of GPT-4, job of secaratries are in danger. What about the software developers.You you can upload a image and get the source code from the GPT-4!!!
Wouldn't that be the same fear we had when the computers were introduced. Being in the Software field in early 1990s in Sri Lanka, I still remember how much pressure we had from many employees when we try to install new software applications. During most of the product demostration, we used to conclude our sessions by addressing that fear. We said that new software system will not destroy any jobs but instead it will create new jobs. Isn't that true? If I look back the those industries back, yes some jobs have gone for good, but there are new jobs.
Let us look at Cricket. During 1980's there were only a couple of camera for TV coverage. With the improvement in technology, now there are many cameras including spider, stump, drone etc. With these technologies, viewship has increased and more revenue avenues are being created. Further, cricket has become more glamoours and into a new world. With that new jobs are created and the good example is the third umpire.
Same will be inline for GPT. Let us wait and see in time to come.
