I stumbled upon a Reddit post that had me laughing and nodding my head in solidarity. A Senior Data Analytics Consultant asked ChatGPT to explain their job to a 5-year-old, and the response was hilariously accurate. The AI described the job as ‘counting things for other people because they’re too busy or don’t know how to count very well themselves.’ Ouch.
The consultant wasn’t the only one who got roasted. A Marketing Strategy Director asked ChatGPT about their job, and it replied that they ‘help companies decide what colors to make their pictures and which words sound the most exciting when trying to sell people things they probably don’t need.’ The existential crises that followed were palpable.
It got me thinking: how would ChatGPT describe my job, or yours, for that matter? Would it be a flattering summary or a brutal takedown? Maybe it’s time to ask the AI and see if our self-worth can withstand its honesty.
What do you think? Would you dare ask ChatGPT about your job, and would you be prepared for its response?
