Their concerns might actually have some weight to them, since a number of employers have definitely been considering using Chat GPT and similar forms of generative AI for basic tasks. Buzzfeed has already announced that it will be generating at least some content from Chat GPT, and that might make certain creative jobs less essential than might have been the case otherwise.
With all of that having been said and now out of the way, it is important to note that the field of marketing is going to be especially badly hit by the rise of Chat GPT. 51% of employers have stated that if they do end up using Chat GPT, they will mostly be using it for various forms of marketing campaigns.
PR is yet another department that could see human workers getting replaced by Chat GPT, and what makes matters worse is that the people working in those departments aren’t even seeing this coming. Only about 16% of marketing professionals think that their jobs can be replaced by Chat GPT, which suggests that a majority of them might not be prepared for what is about to occur.
We might start to see widespread layoffs in the tech sector which will be spurred by how easy Chat GPT tends to make things. Employers are only going to think of the bottom line, and if using Chat GPT gets them comparable work for a much lower cost, they will inevitably end up going down that route.
One field that is currently more or less safe from Chat GPT is that of IT. Design, finance and legal departments are very likely going to be safe for the short term too.
