First things first, the debate should be on whether ChatGPT can replace job roles and not jobs. After it was launched in the market, we’ve already assessed its capabilities and at its present state, it is rightly triggering a debate on whether certain job roles are vulnerable to replacement.
It appears that it has already started to replace certain roles and more roles are treated as vulnerable. Over time, it’s expected to do many of the jobs that humans do. Is that a scary proposition? Will it create large-scale unemployment? It indeed is a scary proposition, given that roles are already being replaced and more roles are vulnerable.
But it’s not meant to emulate multiple human characteristics such as emotions, empathy, creativity, critical thinking, and innovation, at least not in the near future. Roles that require these characteristics are extremely unlikely to be replaced.
Has ChatGPT already replaced job roles?
48% of the companies using the ChatGPT have already replaced workers.
25% of the companies claim that ChatGPT has already saved them more than $75,000.
93% of the current users in the organizations surveyed say they plan to expand the scope of use cases of ChatGPT.
While it appears that in terms of eliminating job roles, ChatGPT is still in the early stages in spite of the job losses—it’s primed to perform many job roles already. As the survey reveals, the industry leaders are definitely bullish about the potential of ChatGPT. In the future, ChatGPT is going to play a critical role in the business processes of multiple organizations across the globe.
