They confirm the impact of ChatGPT on the labor market: which professionals are most affected

Since arriving in 2022, ChatGPT It completely revolutionized the internet experience. The Generative Artificial Intelligence developed by Open IA, a company that commands Sam Altmanis capable of writing or revising texts, even its latest version can analyze images and understand the human voice.

This disruptive technological advance abruptly affected the world of work, but not in a positive way. Many jobs were lost, especially of freelancethis being the group of workers most affected.

To find out the job impact of ChatGPT, a study was carried out. In it, data were taken from Upworkan important site that connects freelancers with companies, observing that, since the emergence of this AI less work is offered and this is less paid.

These self-employed professionals from different fields that offer their services to companies or clients, were harmed by the development of OpenIA. By mentioning them, we are not referring to lawyers, but rather to jobs that have a lot of creativity: journalists, editors, photographers or graphic designers.

This study indicates that 2% fewer jobs are offered monthly, and, furthermore, that Profits decreased by 5.2%.

At first glance these figures may not seem intimidating, but we remember that the chatbot was launched to the public on November 30, 2022, less than a year ago, so, in just that time, it was able to significantly reduce the available work.

Months ago, Sam Altman dared to say that there will be jobs that will disappear completely: “There are jobs that are going to disappear, period”.

Financial Times was another of those that took this data and adds another recent study by the Harvard Business Schoolwhich monitored the impact of providing GPT-4 to Boston Consulting Group employees.

Staff at this company randomly assigned to use GPT-4 when performing a range of consulting tasks were significantly more productive than their colleagues who were unable to access the tool.

Not only did AI-assisted consultants complete tasks 25% faster and complete their engagements 12% more, they were assessed to their work was 40% better in quality than their unassisted peers.
