"Disruption" - Generative AI Code for "Your Job Is Probably Going Poof" (so are your gig assignments)

 In his interview with Atlantic's Ross Anderson, OpenAI leader Sam Altman admits that generative AI will result in job loss. Of course, he adds on the positivity that new jobs will be created and good will be unleashed onto the world. 

Emerging in this harsh prediction of elimination of jobs is the euphemism "disruption." Thought leaders on the technology such as Goldman Sachs project that around the world 300 full-time jobs could be "disrupted." 

That code word is a hedge needed for 

1) Not to scare the jesus out of the workers of the world

2) Prevent looking foolish if the technology isn't a major job-wipeout

3) Position and package the organization as the objective source for information and perspective on generative AI.

With all this buzz about disruption, that establishes ample warning to those in work categories targeted for whatever to reskill. Yes they have to pick up other ways to make a good living. 

This is now. Already, for instance, jobs and assignments are disappearing in copywriting.

The obvious takeaway is: Explore how you can transfer current skills and experience to how generative AI can be applied. The former copywriter, for example, can train small business  how to use versions of generative AI, including programming it for automating the returns process in retail and creating added value in sales.

Back in June 2022 I began the shift from full-time communications assignments to more time hustliing for business in coaching and Tarot reading. The smarts of that had been confirmed when I played with ChatGPT on November 30, 2023. The branding content it generated was more attention-getting than what I could have come up with. And it popped out of the prompt in seconds. That was version 3. Version 4 is even smarter and more creative. 

2023. The only way through the uncertainty, AI disruptions and need to conserve financial resources is to get smarter.
