    2006 called, they want their headline back

    And the assumption that just because a job is remote it can be done by AI is foolish. Leave it to a CEO to imagine the only job worth doing is hobnobbing and sucking up.

    The jobs that can be automated are those where large quantities of data can be collected. Look at a mathematician, it’s a remote job but AI has no sense of logic in which to compete against humans. Future AI can do that work, but GPT cannot competently do math. GPT cannot alphabetize a random word. It can’t even competently tell me how to design a database schema.

    Reporters and CEOs should learn more about how this stuff works before claiming to be experts in it.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    In an essay, Hyams shared his top concerns around AI — one of which is how technologies like OpenAI’s ChatGPT will affect the job market.

    “With AI, it’s conceivable that students might now find themselves learning skills in college that are obsolete by the time they graduate,” Hyams wrote in the essay.

    “The higher the likelihood that a job can be done remotely, the greater its potential exposure is to GenAI-driven change,” the researchers wrote, referring to generative artificial intelligence.

    The CEOs thoughts on AI come as labor experts and white-collar workers alike become increasingly worried that powerful tools like ChatGPT may one day replace jobs.

    After all, employees across industries have been using ChatGPT to develop code, write real estate listings, and generate lesson plans.

    For instance, Hyams said that Indeed’s AI technology, which recommends opportunities to its site visitors, helps people get hired “every three seconds.”
