| yes. anyone could do it. can anyone do it well? not yet. not for a while. possibly never. a human is still very necessary in the loop. there is no loop without the human. currently, there should be no loop without one. cost prohibitive if nothing else. the better the instructions, the better the output. something must be done with the output, and it has to be done safely and consistently. there will be new challenges. there will be new careers. (lol no prompt engineering is not it.) there will be new and old jobs. content not so compelling? take a walk. touch a hand tool, or a crochet needle. escape the screen. blame the content before yourself. was it ever that good? or just good enough? have you already read the good stuff? maybe nothing good as of late. maybe chatgpt is simply causing you to question what makes content… good. spend a little less. save a little more. your compensation is likely “a little high,” and may suffer a little bit. keep solving problems and it isn’t yet an existential crisis. where are we going? too many variables, someone will successfully guess, plenty will unsuccessfully. somewhere new yet familiar. if any of this wasn’t useful, didn’t resonate, or didn’t even make sense, throw it out. just like one should do with language model output. |
