Unlikely. Clerical work mostly requires to handle messy input data from humans. It is hard to automate this. Jobs that are easy to automate often already have been automated with non-AI processes.
- mola 4y agoInstruct gpt is pretty good at transforming messy input data to structured one. Try it out. One of the BDRs at my company had a boring task of transforming paragraphs that describe individuals role company location etc from natural language to an excel table. He decided to let chatgpt do it for him. Basically gave him the columns he wants (including calculated columns like the state code instead of its full name.) And the raw text. gpt did it perfectly on the first go.

- oxfordmale 4y agoThanks, will have a look!
- kitd 4y agoOTOH, that input is messy because it is "only" humans dealing with it. If the imperative to enable AI in clerical work gets stronger, there will be an equally strong imperative to clean up the data.
- oxfordmale 4y agoOnce the data is clean, you can use non-AI algorithms. Regulators tend to take a dim view if you rely on probability models to process your data. Therefore, AI algorithms are only helpful when you do not necessarily care if the results are correct, for example, in marketing.
- stevenhuang 4y agoIt's precisely the handling of messy data that chatgpt excels at. Plenty of people use it to normalize arbitrary data even now. You should look up the examples, you'll be surprised.
