I have the feeling that I am the typical curmudgeon who, every time there is a big fuss about a new technological innovation, writes an article trying to calm things down. But the reality is that we experience this situation every so often and the famous Gartner curve continues to show us how right he is. We have experienced it recently with the metaverse or with blockchain . Of course they are technologies that have an impressive future, of course if all the forecasts came true they would change a lot of companies and entire sectors… of course! We’ll see, but of course! With artificial intelligence and chatGPT (plus the Google version: Bard and those that emerge), something similar will happen.
How quickly do you think the use of ChatGPT will spread?
I’ll ask you a couple of questions to try to get you thinking: How long do you think it will take the non-technological population to learn to use it professionally? (I’m not talking about category email list doing “four” tests). Would you read a book or novel written by chatGPT? What credibility would you give to current news created with artificial intelligence? Would you trust it? What capacity will chatGPT have to create content based on facts for which there is no data on the Internet? How do you see chatGPT replacing the traditional Google search engine? In his case it will be Bard, of course. Wouldn’t you find it more useful? How reliable would its results be? Would you follow its instructions to take a car trip? (or do you prefer user-generated data to avoid traffic jams (I’m talking about Waze)).
ChatGPT the disruption that will change our routines
Regardless of when it comes or stops coming into our daily lives, what seems clear is that it will improve our productivity. It will be the equivalent of when calculators or computers arrived. It will allow us to do things much faster and dedicate our time to other topics. Like every innovation when it arrives, it will destroy some jobs based on more repetitive tasks but create B2C Fax new ones, and improve most. We will have to adapt as always. In short, let’s embrace innovations with enthusiasm, observe their evolution and think about what real value they can bring to our business model. When we are clear about this, it is time to apply them to our daily lives, not before.
