Not only does AI have no chance of threatening my job security, it makes my job easier the better it gets.

A larger task that usually takes me 3 hours I can shave off 2 with chatgpt. A task that takes me 1 hour, it can perform instantly. It can do 80% of a project for me with high rate of success but it can't do the last 20% - but neither can 99% of the ppl in my industry do it either.

I also asked chatgpt how long it'd take to take over my job:

"With your extensive experience across "insert my field", it would take a while for me to match the depth of your real-world knowledge and decision-making skills. However, I'm already here to assist with tasks like data analysis, generating reports, drafting documents, and providing insights, which can make your work more efficient. While I can handle many technical aspects, the nuanced judgment, leadership, and human connection inherent to your roles are unique to you and require a human touch that I'm not designed to replicate fully."

I then asked it to estimate how long it'd take to do 80% of my job: Chatgpt said maybe 5-10 years.

Can't wait.
