    IBM expects to pause hiring for non-customer facing roles. HR is cited as an example. The article mentions that such roles number around 26,000 and expects ~30% reduction in these roles, about ~8,000 jobs.

        https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-05-02/hollywood-writers-go-on-strike-seek-higher-pay-in-streaming-era

        Hollywood writers go on strike. This is news on its own right. Buried in there is this little nugget:

        The guild added that the studios have been “stonewalling” on issues such as the use of artificial intelligence in script production.

          Shucks, you don't think AI couldn't write a Hallmark script?

          “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

          Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                That's because that "buried little nugget" has nothing to do with anything. The strike isn't about AI.

                        AI is definitely going to have an impact on certain job positions. I think in history, this has always happened when new technology occurs.

                        I remember reading an article about the pretty sudden decrease in the number of blacksmiths/horseshoe people as the automobiles increased and the need for their services was no longer needed.

                        With AI, it is like the box that is opened and impossible to shut again.

                        We have to adapt.

                        Maybe not a perfect example, but when was the last time you had an iceman (or milkman) come to the house?

                          An AI generated beer commercial. Really weird! LOL

                          Interesting to see what it would like in a year from now.

                          "it appears they likely created it using Runway's new Gen-2 AI model, which can create short video clips based on written prompts similar to how Stable Diffusion can create still images."

                            Look 'em up if you don't know what they [Chegg] do.

                            Years ago, I bought a mobile phone app by some German developer called "Math 42," an easy to use, no fuzz app that, you type in a math problem in the form of an equation, it shows you the steps to get to the solution(s). Not as powerful as, say, established desktop applications like Maple or Mathematica, but good enough for many K-12 math problems. I was quite happy with "Math 42."

                            Then Chegg bought out "Math 42," and soon the app became unusable. All of a sudden you're required to "create an account" with Chegg and has to "login" to use the app. First I gave it the benefit of the doubt and tried to create an account, etc. The backend system never worked, I could never successfully "login," and "Math 42" became completely unusable to me. I have since deleted it from my devices and I have been pessimistic about Chegg ever since.

                                Do not trust ChatGPT

                                https://www.thestreet.com/reference/education/chatgpt-mistake-costs-recent-college-graduates-their-diplomas

                                Some college prof. tried to use ChatGPT to "detect" whether students' papers were written with ChatGPT and found many false positives, delaying many graduating students from properly receiving their diplomas.

                                  Judge wary of AI "hallucinations," says it isn't acceptable for legal briefing.

                                  For now, I think it’s a good rule.

                                    WPP agrees deal with US tech giant Nvidia as FTSE 100 ad group plots artificial intelligence-created content

                                    WPP owns MediaCom, Mindshare, Grey Group and Ogilvy to name a few.
                                    I noticed they didn't really touch on whether the NVIDIA partnership would, you know, make better content. Nope, speed's the name of the game.

                                      More "ChatGPT took my job" stories:

                                      https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/06/02/ai-taking-jobs/

                                      Copywriters aside, it cites a Goldman Sachs analysis that says the lawyers (legal profession more generally?) will be hit hard.

                                      And there is this gem:

                                      Experts say that even advanced AI doesn’t match the writing skills of a human: It lacks personal voice and style, and it often churns out wrong, nonsensical or biased answers. But for many companies, the cost-cutting is worth a drop in quality.

                                        AI is definitely going to have an impact on certain job positions. I think in history, this has always happened when new technology occurs.

                                        I remember reading an article about the pretty sudden decrease in the number of blacksmiths/horseshoe people as the automobiles increased and the need for their services was no longer needed.

                                        With AI, it is like the box that is opened and impossible to shut again.

                                        We have to adapt.

                                        Maybe not a perfect example, but when was the last time you had an iceman (or milkman) come to the house?

                                        Yes, professional writers, lawyers and financial advisors are just like milkmen. And it's simply a matter of adapting over the weekend.

                                        Speaking of jobs, have you ever considered a career in job coaching?

                                          I remember during freshman year of college a professor gave me a C for a paper that otherwise was an A because she suspected another student and I worked together to write the same paper. It was 100% untrue, I had no idea who the other person was, but apparently our paper and key points within were too similar. I was very annoyed that I had no other recourse other than accept the C because of the false accusation by the professor. I'd imagine that's what false positive ChatGPT reactions feel like.
