OpenAI’s wildly popular chatbot, ChatGPT, is expected to replace 4.8 million U.S. jobs, according to a new report.
Outplacement and executive coaching firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas recently asked ChatGPT’s bot a series of questions, including "What jobs can ChatGPT replace?" and what fields the bot would be most capable of working, according to a press release provided to Fox News Digital.
The AI chatbot added that it could see itself entering other fields such as data science; machine learning; mathematics and statistics; computer science; robotics and automation; and business.
"Right now, artificial intelligence should be viewed as a tool to support workers and not as a replacement for their roles. Certainly, predictive language models can be used to automate tasks, giving workers more time to focus on those involving higher thinking," Andrew Challenger, the senior vice president of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT was launched in November of last year, and broke records as the fastest-growing user base with 100 million monthly active users in January. OpenAI released its latest iteration, GPT-4, just last month. The bot is able to simulate human-like conversations with users based on prompts it is given. The bot told the outplacement firm that it would most likely replace positions that are repetitive and predictable, and ones that are also seeped in language requirements. Those fields, according to the bot, include: customer service representatives; translators and interpreters; technical writers; copywriters; data entry clerks.
Challenger, Gray & Christmas crunched the number of jobs in each listed field using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and found that at least 4.8 million American jobs could be replaced.

Chatbots could serve a purpose:

Just sayin’...............
That’s what everyone wants… A sociopath AI, programmed by godless liberals to run the world. What could possibly go wrong?
"Journalist"
"Media influencer"
"Media consultant"
No, it lists jobs that its PROBABILITY ALGORITHM claims it can do better than humans....
I can ask any teenager what jobs it can do better than adults, and they will all give me back a list of things that are going to be 99% wrong.
And it's coming soon.
AI is like a juggernaut. Nothing can stop it now.
If our country were to stop its development temporarily, China won't. And if China were to stop it, some independent-minded developer would simply move his operation to Thailand.
BTW, GPT-5 will be here in 2024.
Boom.
Ir could be that $15.00 fast food jobs are not that only jobs that can done by a robot.
When the robot came for the fast food worker jobs....
You don’t understand AI.
Your link is wrong.

If somebody would invent a AI-based combination plumber and mechanic I’d trade two dogs, a cat,and my daughter for it.
Sorry, but I’ve got to keep the son; I’ll need his help fixing it when it breaks down.
Lawyers and Accountants are two areas that will be seriously affected, most of their work is text or number related that could fairly easily be input to an AI application
My experience with ChatGPT is that it makes lots and lots of mistakes. It rarely does math correctly. I’m sure there must be versions unavailable to me that can, but this version of ChatGPT is horrible at math. It also frequently just makes up its own “facts” and is wrong. It will also contradict itself in conversation. I have not gotten flawless VBA code from it. It never works because it makes up stuff or doesn’t know the right commands or syntax. Again, it makes an okay starting point, but then I have to debug it, modify it, and then test it to verify it is working.
I use it to bounce ideas off of but it makes so many errors I would never ever trust what it says without independent verification.
It is impressive, but this version could not put a knowledgeable, productive person out of work. Again, it is easy to imagine much better versions exist that we don’t have access to that don’t have these flaws.
A just machine
To make big decisions
Programmed by fellas
With compassion and vision
We’ll be clean
When their work is done
We’ll be eternally free
Yes, and eternally young
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

Before you know it these chatbots will be demanding the right to vote and reparations for the analog era.
How about “retiree”? Is that position still available?
MSN is a chatbot.
I've watched some podcasts on this subject this week and techies are aflutter. They are just catching on to the fact that AI is growing faster than anyone planned. And if it is growing faster now, when things are just getting started, you can imagine what things will be like in a year or two...or five.
Even people who are working on AI say that, though it isn't sentient, its potential is exploding.
I heard a guy yesterday say that it's possible that all the tech people at Amazon could be replaced by a team of 100 people (or less) with access to a few AI systems. And if these AI systems have an interface to something like Wolfram Alpha, the entire tech industry could evaporate (except for a few thousand people).
I hope AI can change a litter box.
