Seconded. As an analyst who’s tried out AI tools claming to kill the analyst job etc, it for sure doesn’t. If anything, someone can at best leverage those tools to work faster and deliver a higher quality output.
The next few weeks will be challenging.
You'll see many people claim the death of programming, data science, excel, data analysis, and every other discipline you can think of.
They are shitfluencers. Many of them were crypto experts a few months ago. Their best skill is to farm attention from uninformed bystanders. They have never written any code, done any data science, or built any of the skills they now claim as dead.
Ignore them.
They are looking to cash in on OpenAI's Code Interpreter. It's a new tool, and it's impressive.
But it's just a tool.
I spent the weekend playing with it, and while I plan to use it, I have to be clear: do not use Code Interpreter for anything serious if you can't supervise every bit it generates. It will improve tremendously over time, but delegating any work to it at this point is nuts.
And, of course, Code Interpreter is not replacing anybody.
When I started programming in the early 90s, people thought it was stupid and that I should become a doctor or a lawyer, not a weird nerd.
Years later, they told me somebody overseas would take my job for $2/hour. When that didn't happen, no-code solutions were coming after me, and now it's time for AI to replace me: Copilot, then ChatGPT, and finally, Code Interpreter.
The reality is very different.
AI will not take away but create. For every low-skill job that AI renders obsolote, many more will open. The demand for programmers and data scientists has never been higher before and will continue raising.
The attention farmers will eventually move on. There will be a day when selling "100+ ChatGPT prompts to make $1,000 per day" won't be profitable anymore.
Until that day comes, ignore them and get to work.
@elonmusk@alex_valaitis Unfortunately for that, people care more about the user experience - not only about the 'cleaner design' and ease of interaction with posts, but they could carry over their insta followers (from fb to insta back then). Starting from 0 is a much-complained-about Twitter struggle.
@garrytan At the end of the day, to what extent will a person use a chat interface on a daily basis - it boomed mostly from curiosity. Daily use of AI will happen when it can be applicable to doing our work - and this will be through specific customer applications using LLMs.
perhaps the most underrated & important skill:
being able to evaluate people on their intrinsics (i.e. their intellect, talent, attitude—their true self) VS their extrinsics (i.e. resumé, brands, external signals)
i've met maybe 5 people in my whole life who are great at this
@paulg People who change their minds actually have an open mind. Those who never do, well..
Having a beginner’s mindset wins, at least in the long run.
Just as I can never go back to the ThinkPad after using the Mac, I can’t go back to chatpgt after using OpenAI playground - it’s all about the user interface and experience.
The experience of your startup hits different when you’re trying to solve a problem you’re passionate in solving. Easier to view your daily (almost) work as exciting and be closer to your users. They feel the energy too!
Some people who used chatGPT daily and all excited about it now say they switched to using it once per week at most.
Why would that be? Without a daily application in your job, changing habits or paying for it can’t happen that quick.
ChatGPT can be extremely useful, but depends on a person willing to put in time & care to provide instructions to it - this is currently friction to unlocking its power. By providing an interface for doing that, AI tools being created are acting as a facilitator to this friction.
