Well, stick around. We're about to find out. I'm Jordan Wilson, your AI aficionado. And this is Everyday AI, your daily dose of podcast, live stream, and newsletter goodness. We're your one stop shop for all things AI, from ChatGPT to Mid Journey and beyond. So we're here to keep you in the loop. and ahead of the curve. So speaking of curves, we got a guest today, who knows all about them.

So that's right, folks. Our guest today is none other than ChatGPT itself. So I know what you're thinking, Jordan, how can AI be a guest? Well, my friends, in the world of AI, anything is possible. So stick around and we're going to chat with ChatGPT about the latest AI buzz, the rise of AI writing assistance. will they be the next Hemingway or just a handy tool? There's only one way to find out.

So stick around. It's going to be a wild ride. So also on this show today, aside from Chat Chbett, Brandon Vargas, the producer and host, co-hosts of Everyday AI. Brandon, how you doing? I'm doing well. How's everybody doing today? Hope you're doing well.

We got an interesting one. See how kind of Chat Chupt does. Hopefully they do good with them of you. We'll see. This is either going to be a lot of fun or a train wreck. So we'll find out. Brandon, this is an unscripted show. Normally, today's going to be a little different.

So we're asking chat GPT to run this whole thing. It told us what's important today in the news. It's doing a lot of things. But I have a question for you. Was that me in the intro or was that chat GPT? Oh, I don't know. I think we should let the audience figure that out. Like was that an audio generated content you just heard or was that really Jordan?

All right. Well, here we have to do this. Brandon, in the private chat, I need your vote. I need your vote. And then we'll reveal at the end to see if Brandon actually knew or not. I need to put them on. I need to put them on the spot. All right.

So we're still, if you're tuning in live, you know, watching the live stream, please leave us a comment. Hopefully today's going to be a fun episode. If you're listening on the podcast, Spotify, Apple, whatever it is, please subscribe. Leave us a rating if you like the show. So let's get into it, Brandon. Let's talk about what's going on in the world of AI. Full disclosure, we didn't write this. Yeah, let's do it.

Let's see what ChatGBTGPT has for us today and what it's wanting to talk about. All right. So here's what ChatGPT is. saying is important in the world of AI today. So Anderson Horowitz says AI is going to save the world. So this is a private American venture capital firm. And essentially what's going on is they're saying that, hey, despite what's going on, AI is going to help, especially in the U.S., kind of reach global tech superiority. So, Brandon, what did, what's checked you CPT want to know from us on this one.

Yeah. So it's funny. It's talking about itself and the third person already. So maybe it's a little stuck up. I don't know. Is AI kind of here to save the human race or is it just all tech hype? So I feel like those are both two of the extreme ends of what people have been talking about. Like, is this really the next big thing since the internet or is this just kind of like a phase and it's going to go away? Yeah. I don't know. So I'd say no. Obviously Anderson Horowitz is is a huge VC firm, you know, and I think a lot of the big banks and VC firms have been throwing their money behind AI and AI-related companies probably for a reason. So I don't know if I'd say, like, hey, is AI here to save us or save the world, like Anderson Horowitz said? But I do think

especially from an economy standpoint, at least in the short term, I think it's kind of really helping It's something that's really driving the American economy, especially over the last couple of months. Yeah. No, I agree with you on that. I do feel that there is, of course, there's fear around it, but I think it's fear of the unknown. But when you kind of take a look at how you can approach it, that'll really give you the idea of whether or not it's actually something that's going to take over for you or help you. So I agree. This is definitely not just like a tech hype, not a trend.

not a phase like this is definitely something you should be paying attention to uh and that's why we're talking about it uh i don't think we'd be talking about if we thought it was a a trend yeah yeah exactly this isn't mom jeans you know this isn't something that's going to stick around for a couple years take like three decades off and then come back out of nowhere um thank you for the comments uh say you had a chat chat gpt yes uh is the guest of the show um i'm switching the comments around i didn't realize you're clicking on it no worries and then uh j um jayette Jessica, I love this. Jessica says,

hate to admit, been using ChatGPT lately to help with my podcast content. Well, Jessica, thanks, thanks for that. And hopefully, chat GPT does as good of a job with the rest of today's show as it's doing for you.

So next, the next big piece of news, Chad GPT told us to talk about. Invisible AIs, intelligent agent cameras are watching us, apparently. So Invisible AI is a, is a software company, specifically working with auto workers and kind of in the auto industry.

So essentially, it's a vision-based system that spots when auto workers or even the machines in the auto-working plants are not doing what they're supposed to be. So chat GPT, what do they want to know on this? So chat, GPT wants to know, is this a form of invasion of privacy or is this a form of invasion of privacy? or is this kind of like getting maximum efficiency and it's great for the industries that could use this? It's weird, I think, right? Like if we're using AI tech,

this invisible AI is supposed to see if, you know, auto workers and the machines are doing their job. Like, I don't know. Is that some next level of inception and AI big brother Overwatch? watch like if we're training essentially AI machines to make sure machines are doing their work correctly? I don't know. I think it depends on where this is taking place just because, you know, there's obviously tons of things you've heard about just like the manufacturing industry and just like overworking their workers. So like I think this is a little, it's, it's tough. I'm not in a

position personally to have this experience to be like, yeah, like I would hate that. But I think it's, I think it can, it's on a fine line in between. It depends on how it takes place. Yeah. So what about, you know, Brandon, I think for like desk workers, right? Like there's, there is time tracking software. Right. That a lot of companies use, which I think is terrible.

I'm sorry. Like company, if, if you're a CEO listening to this and you use time tracking software for your employees, oh, it makes me feel inky. But Brandon, like, do you think this will ever kind of go? to desk jobs or like would you like if you were running a large company would you want something like that no i wouldn't want it personally but i can see why someone will use it i mean i do feel like with with a working from home uh kind of way of life that we have now it's i could see some people wanting to use that like i know i feel like overall we've gotten a little bit lazier just as like a

human race ever since we've been working from home more so i think that would be something that some people would want to use. Yeah. Yeah. It's weird to me, but, you know, I get it if it's from like a safety perspective. But, you know, when you get into productivity and pushing efficiency, like, I don't know. I'd say this is the literal definition of, uh, of an AI big brother, right? Just watching every watching even the machines.

That's, that's the one that gets me, right? Like that's wild. Yeah. Yeah. That is crazy. I think about. So, so. So before we get on to what chat GPT told us to write about next, a reminder.

If you're listening to this, whether live or on the podcast, drop us an email. We have a little, you know, mid-show Easter egg here. So send us an email. It's info at your everyday AI.com. So it's info at your everyday AI.com. I wanted to plug this. We're doing a little, we've talked about this on the show before, episode 24, if you want to go back and take a look.

So kind of our internal method that we do at Everyday AI for getting the most out of chat GPT. It's called Prime, Prompt, and Polish. So it's our own internal method. I talked about in the show, got a lot of comments. People are like, oh, this is amazing. Do you have more information? So for our loyal listeners and people that have really been engaging with us in the show so far, we already reached out to them.

We gave them priority access. We wanted to have just a small group. So there's, I think, like, six spots left. So if you want to learn kind of how we've been using this technology, and, you know, Brandon and I, we've been using this before chat GPT came out, but we've been using the GPT technology since, I don't know, 20, early 2021. So just give us a shout. So back to the chat GPT news.

This is another one, Brandon, a little inception here. So we have chat GPT writing about what's happening in GPT news. So another one that you have to think about a little bit. So automatic is launching an AI writing assistant for WordPress. So WordPress owner is automatic. That's the company name. So they just dropped what they're calling the Jetpack AI assistant. So for anyone using WordPress to power their website and WordPress is the most popular content management system out there in the world,

I think, you know, I haven't looked at the status. recently, but I think it powers more websites than the next four content management systems combined. At one point, it powered like 30% of the internet, which is crazy to think about. So anyways, this new Jetpack AI assistant, it's kind of think of it like chat GPT, but specifically for your WordPress website when you're trying to write content. So there's selectable writing tones, you know, and then it can generate titles, summaries, translate content, spelling and grammar, all that. stuff. Apparently it's going to be $10 a month. So it's not free, but it's cheaper than if you

were paying for the pro version of chat GPT. So Brandon, what does what's chat GPT want us to talk about this new story that it gave us to talk about? So what ways can content creators, you know, even people writing for SEO purposes, use this new tool? What's your take? You go first. It's funny because the first thing that came to my mind. was other tools they should use instead. Probably right off the bad just because I haven't used this yet. Like we already know, you know, chat GBT is proven.

We've personally mentioned it before we used Jasper as another writing tool, more so for pure writing purposes and not research or fact-checking purposes. So, I mean, if chat GBT is free, why am I going to pay the $10 just yet? It could have good integrations, and that's maybe where I could see you leveraging this, is like one stop shop you're already in WordPress if you use the WordPress editor and builder then why not so I guess that's how they can leverage it is like maybe it's like people that

go to the Apple ecosystem because it's all connected it's the same thing so that that's maybe the only benefit I see I'd have to test it first but I don't know if you've heard of this or your thoughts on it no I think it was just announced literally hours ago so there's there's not even a lot of information out about it. I actually had to fact check chat GPT on this one because, you know, Brandon, we use WordPress pretty consistently and I'm like, I haven't heard about this, but, you know, chat GPT knew about it before I did. But yeah, there's not a lot of information out about it.

I guess one thing that will, I guess swing me one way or the other is what will it be using? Will it be using what's called GPT 3.5 or will it be using GPT4? So if you haven't used chat GPT before, the difference between those two, it's like night and day. So if you're a free user on chat GPT and a lot of the other programs that use OpenAI's GPT interface, use chat GPT 3.5. So for the every person out there, it's the difference between, you know, think of your knowledge as a fifth grader versus your knowledge after you finish graduate school. That's the difference between chat GPT 3.5 and GPT 4. So it's night and day.

So I guess it depends on if you're getting chat GPT4 for $10 a month, then maybe I might look at it. But otherwise, I'd say, yeah, probably a waste. Yeah, I agree. So as a reminder, if you're tuning in life, got a bunch of comments coming on. But if you want us to talk about something, give us, give us something for chat GPT. We'll plug it in and we'll get it here on the last half of the show. So let's skip to the thing I really wanted to get to, Brandon. So a new business insider article today came out with the 10 roles they say are most likely to be at risk because of AI.

So this story today referenced a kind of recent Goldman Sachs survey that, said that AI tools could impact 300 million full-time jobs worldwide and could lead to significant disruption in the job market. 300 million jobs worldwide is a lot of jobs. Yeah, that's ridiculous. Yeah, it's crazy. So anyways, Brandon, what does Chad GPT want to know about this new story that it gave us? So the question for ChatGBTGBT is, is ChatGBT the future of the workforce like this is kind of predicting?

Or is it just a tool to enhance the current jobs and their productivity? Adobe just introduced an entirely new way to create, bringing the power and precision of its creative suite into one conversational experience. Meet Firefly AI Assistant now live in the Adobe Firefly app, the all-in-one creative AI studio. powered by Adobe's creative agent, Firefly AI assistant lets you start with your vision, just describe what you want, and shape the outcome as it takes form with the assistant.

Every step the assistant takes is visible so you can refine, redirect, or take over at any time. You stay in the driver's seat as the creative director. Adobe Firefly AI assistant now in public beta. See it today at firefly.adopi.com. Yeah.

Sorry, this is still just funny thinking that chat GPT wrote these new stories for us and is asking us question about itself. Anyways, is chat GPT the future of the workplace? I don't know. What do you all think? If you're on the live show, let us know what you think. Is chat GPT the future of the workplace or just a tool to enhance productivity? I don't know.

I think it depends on where development goes in the coming months. I think what happens in the next couple of months is really going to signal how AI in general, not just the kind of GPT writing technology. I think it's going to signal how it's used in the coming years. And what I mean by that, I think we're still just getting off of the initial wave, right? So chat GPT essentially came out in December, came out like the last two days of November. So it's only been out now a full six and a half months. So it is still a relatively new technology.

And I think it even took a while probably until this spring for the everyday person to start integrating it into their workflow. So I think it's a matter of time for especially small and medium sized businesses until they figure out how to integrate it properly into their day-to-day workflow. And then at that point, I think then that's when we're going to start to potentially see what this Goldman Sachs study is talking about, like impacting up to 300 million full-time jobs worldwide. Brandon, what's your take? I think this to me is like the summary and the like center of the biggest conversation around AI. And I think this is where a lot of fear kicks in. And I think there's two parts. So for me, one is how do we?

as like humans and like the everyday person decide to like go about this if we kind of the people that maybe stay complacent and I'm like oh I don't want to touch this thing like I don't know what it is like we need the true human connectivity is a big argument I think they're going to be actually the ones that could potentially push it towards that route because if nobody's learning it that you know the people at the top the CEOs the people making the decisions they're going to be like all right well if no one's learning this thing then I'm just going to figure how to do it and myself and implement it, where the jobs and the companies that are actually approaching this the right way, they're going to be the ones to try to figure out how they can implement it properly with their team.

And we've already had many people on the show talking about how they work with the team to figure out what ways can we implement AI. Those are going to be the ones that will understand that they're going to get better results and better content, better everything, versus the ones that just try to replace it straight up, they're not going to get what they need. and it might take a while for that to happen and people to realize that, but I could see maybe this initial wave of like straight up replacement if it's not approached properly, like universally, and then people are going to realize it's not good. So that's kind of my take.

Yeah, I think that's a great take. And here's to build on that. And Saeda, we're going to get to your kind of comment here in just a second. To build on that, I think a lot of companies who tried to integrate, GPT or any other AI tools early on or just trying to ride the wave, right? Like if you've ever been surfing, like I tried once. Like my wife and I went to Costa Rica many, many years ago.

And surfing is like difficult. Like if you've never done it. Like you really have to catch. You have to wait for the wave and then you have to catch it. And it's so hard, right? So I think that's kind of like what companies are doing. They saw this giant chat GPT wave and they tried to ride it. But they weren't prepared.

They weren't actual surfers. They just saw other people riding the wave and they're like, let me get in on this too. And so what happened is so many businesses or just individuals trying to use this technology early on, they crashed. They crashed because they didn't know how to surf the wave, right? So I think so many companies are now probably hesitant and they think that AI or chat GPT or whatever isn't really good because they tried it one. they didn't really know what they were doing,

or maybe they just try to copy and paste what someone else was doing. And they're like, oh, no, this technology is garbage. Like, look. But if you don't know how to ride the wave, you can't be a surfer. So that was a weird analogy, but that's kind of the way I think about it. So to say to your question, so saying, yes, it is talking about, you know, AI in the workplace. Many things will get replaced with it, especially data entry, entry level work. and then also saying we all have to embrace AI to make our workspace compatible.

So speaking of that, yeah, like in this business insider article, we will link it in the daily newsletter that we send out. So go to your everyday AI.com, sign up for that. So they did reference some of the most common jobs. I'm not going to go through them all, but some of them are, you know, tech jobs, you know, coder, computer programmer, media jobs, you know, content creation, the legal industry, paralegal legal assistance teachers finance jobs traders accountants so uh we'll we'll list them all but um yeah brandon what's i mean do you think some of those professions there are at at risk yeah so

i think both of these comments that we just pulled up work in tangent so the first part like sallata said yes technically speaking i agree some of the jobs will like quote unquote go away but to this comment that we're seeing here from lillian it's it's you're going to figure out how to integrate that and I think your current role or job will be adapted to something else. So maybe your job isn't called a data analyst anymore, but maybe it's like a data supervisor or something like that. And even though you're not the one pulling the data yourself, you're not doing that specific task, you're still going to have to be able to make sense of it or figure it out, you know, like be able to talk to like, okay, well, as I'm saying this,

there are ways you could technically have a recording, explain everything to you. But my point is that you're going to need that human element to be able to apply it to the right piece. Who's putting in the prompt, who's figuring out what the prompt should be, who's giving the background knowledge, you know, like we said, our method of priming beforehand, who's doing that? And so this is exactly what I agree with this comment of we're going to need those people still. It's just going to change the way you see your role. Yeah. So, uh, Lily. comment if you're listening on the podcast, she said, if it were to be integrated in the office, it will always have to have a human to monitor AI, edit, and proofread. I think that's a common,

a common point. And it's super valid. But I'm sorry, Brandon and Lillian, I'm going to go on the opposite side and say, I don't think you're going to need humans for it pretty soon, right? The technology is not there yet. However, you know, we've even been experimenting with this, you know, internal. If we're using chat GPT for a project, we will use another program like maybe Bing Chat or Google Bard to check its work. Right? Because if you check its work with the same technology, of course, it's going to say, yeah, I'm right, right? But if you check it with another technology, you'd be surprised. It's actually using other AIs is actually a somewhat effective way to use that normal human role of monitoring.

Also, there is newer technology. That technology is not great yet, but something called agents. So, you know, some of the more popular ones that people maybe have heard of, something called auto-GPT, baby GPT. So we'll save what that is for another show. But essentially, there are little agents that you can assign roles. So you can, you know, have like a chat GPT as an example, do your research. And then you can assign multiple agents to act as a role into you can prime them with information. So let's say, you know, a legal analyst. So you could assign other agents different roles to essentially fact check or to dig

in or to find holes of what your first kind of GPT, you know, uncovered or created. So that's that's wild. It's probably, it's probably a while out. But I just wanted to offer that out. Yeah. I would say I can see it from like an editing perspective. I just think from a whole, you still need certain human elements to operate a business. Like even letting chat GBT know what we need from it is like that.

I just think that that's how your role would adapt. But it could mean less people. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's ultimately what it is. So even, you know, the kind of what we are just referencing, you know, data collection, right? Yes, you will still probably need a human to tell, you know, the GBT. or AI, here's the data, here's what we need.

But yeah, it is probably, you know, not talking total elimination, but definitely, you know, I think we're going to see some downsizing, some crazy downsizing, you know, I don't know if it's going to be 300 million like the business, business insider article, you know, talked about with that Goldman Sachs study. I don't know if it's going to be 300 million, but I think it's going to be a lot fewer because, you know, let's look at a data team, right? Like if there's 20 people on the average data team, and once they realize and figure out how to effectively leverage AI, yeah, you're still going to need humans. But how many are you going to need?

Right. Two? Yeah. Three? I agree. I don't know. All right. Brandon, what's your hot take?

Did chat GPT do a good job at this show? Are we still going to be, or is it going to be our avatars, you know, doing this in a couple months? I don't know. I think chat, GPD did a good. good job. I mean, these were some big questions, gave a great conversation. We had a lot of people commenting on it. So I think it did a good job. Maybe we should just hand it off to the avatars. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah, yeah, let's just train the avatars, you know, pump in some human emotion and see if they can take it from here. So yeah, this is interesting. So yeah, Brandon and I were

talking and, you know, we were texting. We're just like, let's just have, you know, we didn't have a guest schedules. We're like, let's just see if chat GPT can run the show today. So I think it did a pretty good job. So if you know how to use it, you know, because obviously as an example in the free version of chat GPT, you can't get recent news. So you have to really know how to use all of this technology, you know, so we had to use the pro version of chat GPT and we had to enable some certain plugins, you know, so yeah, you still have to have a human who knows what they're doing on the front end. So speaking of that, of knowing how to use chat GPT correctly, Tom, thank you for the comment saying he loved the combo, former guests.

So speaking of that, like I said, if you're still listening, that means you're a loyal listener. If you stuck it out to the end, drop us an email info at your everyday AI.com.
