But all the examples you gave (compilers, automated QA, data entry) fall firmly within the "repetitive" marker. These were all pretty much rote jobs where a person was essentially asked to be like a computer and follow a simple algorithm.
But ChatGPT is now killing jobs that are solely about creativity, like copywriting. That is a new, and rather unexpected, turn of events. I saw a good quote, I think it was on Twitter: "What kind of world have we built where the humans slave away at physically demanding jobs for minimum wage, while the computers write poetry and paint all day."
- shreyshnaccount 3y agoYeah, before llms it was hardly imaginable that these jobs would someday be automated.
- deepspace 3y ago> jobs that are solely about creativity, like copywriting But the point is that the kind of copywriting that CAN be replaced by ChatGPT is just as repetitive and non-creative than those other jobs.
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoDon't agree with that at all. If it were simply "repetitive and non-creative", why hire copywriters at all, why not just have the engineers or product managers write the copy? I've worked with good copywriters, and was impressed with the quality of writing they did. The point is that ChatGPT excels at the type of creative writing that previously we thought was solely the domain of humans. I think you are getting things backwards if you think that because ChatGPT can do it that it is repetitive and non-creative.
