ChatGPT is for two types of people, possibly with an overlap
1. The hard of thinking.
2. Scroungers who think they can avoid paying a professional writer to do a job for them.
It has absolutely nothing to do with anything else. HR people have been lazily scrounging off the employment system for years. Large employment mills like Michael Page have been screening CV's with auto readers for some years now, meaning that the totally unqualified can, by using the appropriate keywords, find and fill employment positions way above their capabilities for years now. Once they have sucked in the employment "con"sultant and gained an initial interview, the accomplished blagger can get past the average in-house HR professional numpty with consummate ease.
And when you see the mess that the likes of "Dame" Paula Vennels (former CEO of the Post Office) and Dame Sharon White (previously only ever a civil servant, now CEO of John Lewis) have made, it's no wonder there are problems with diversity, all of which are self-inflicted.
AI, Metaverse, Web3, Blockchain (which, along with cloud technology requires mind-blowing amounts of energy to function!) and NFTs are consistently being exposed as the grand tools of cheats and scoundrels and a veritable circus for the con merchants who specialise in blame culture to explain their own shortcomings. However, I'm not denying that some of those involved with the creation of new technologies are very clever people. I know I couldn't develop such things.
For example, Just Stop Oil are a 100% blight on society,=. They never stop and make mention of the incredibly higher environmental cost (compared with the manufacture of existing fossil fuel vehicles) of making electric vehicles that are supposed to replace fossil fuel vehicles from 2030 onwards. Neither do they ever present alternatives. All they want to do is destroy other peoples' enjoyment of their own environment. Let them go to China and India who between them pollute the environment far beyond the capabilities of the oil companies alone.
HR in the workplace is long overdue cleaning up its own act, something that has been needed way before current AI technology burst onto the scene. HR has been, and remains, a total blight on business and society.
It's a time-honoured adage about the laws of probability. Give 1 million monkeys 1 million typewriters and they'll eventually type the entire works of William Shakespeare.
