I’ve never been afraid that AI would take my job in education and digital media, since the personal touch of a professor or a YouTube host can’t be replicated by complex algorithms. But then chat GPT happened, and news soon broke that BuzzFeed was going to start using it to create AI written content, resulting in a huge chunk of its writing staff being laid off. Other companies seem to be following suit and it’s freaky to think that those of us who make our living writing and performing content could be out of a job soon.
I wanted to figure out how likely it is that chat GPT is going to replace me and my writing colleagues. Does good content still need a human touch or are the machines going to outthink us to obsolescence? So, I logged into chat GPT to see if I could get it to write a usable wisecrack script and put it to the test.
I asked it to write a script for a wisecrack video, and the title they gave this one was “Why Philosophy is the Best Major for a Career in Tech”. The script correctly identified that philosophy teaches critical thinking, logic and problem solving skills that are essential for success in the tech industry. It also correctly described philosophy as asking the big questions and seeking to understand the world and our place in it. However, it still lacked the fun and colloquial tone that we strive for and it was missing the fun wisecrack wit that we’re known for.
Next, I asked it to write a video on a more specific topic, the relationship between digital alienation and capitalism. This time, the script correctly identified the topic of digital alienation and how it relates to capitalism. It also correctly identified the problem and offered a solution. However, it still lacked the fun and colloquial tone that we strive for.
At this point, I’m still not worried about losing my job anytime soon.
