Maybe I&amp;#x27;m the only one who thinks it&amp;#x27;s overrated.&lt;p&gt;Most of the prompt answers are smart sounding bullshit. Maybe that&amp;#x27;s why the headlines never stop - the people who like to make smart sounding bullshit are the ones who love ChatGPT.</text></story><parent_chain><item><author>ExtremisAndy</author><text>I am definitely tired of the topic, but I’ll be perfectly honest as to the reason why: I am genuinely afraid of its impact on my career. My career has been sort of a combination of tech and education, and this (admittedly impressive) creation threatens both. And more and more of these things will be coming online over the coming months and years.&lt;p&gt;So, every time I see it mentioned I feel depressed and sick on the inside.&lt;p&gt;I will say, however, that so far it has actually enhanced my productivity in my current projects, and that’s fine. I just don’t think that its impact will remain so limited for long.&lt;p&gt;Of all the tech that’s been invented, this is the one I fear the most in terms of its negative impact on jobs. Hope I’m wrong!</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>enneff</author><text>Don’t worry, the models do not show any signs of creativity or understanding. Your intellect still has value, and imo this technology is not the invention that will eventually devalue it. It’s kinda like self driving cars. 5-10 years ago we assumed we were just a few years away from never having to drive ourselves again. Turns out that’s way further out than we had imagined.</text></comment>

If anything, since release it has proven that 1. it does not have ability to reason logically creatively. 2. it has strong ability to manipulate language to human readable form.&lt;p&gt;If anything, I would say regular office workers are the most threatened, particularly if the jobs revolves around digesting and passing information.</text></comment>
