How has technology changed your job?

This is a great prompt, especially with the AI growth taking off. Technology has always changed and always impacted jobs. I remember working before there was really the concept of the internet! However, I think the AI boom will be way more impactful because it touches everything from blue-collar to white-collar.

How did it impact me? Well, since I retired last year, AI was only really just getting into the mainstream. I think ChatGPT was really getting talked about daily in 2023. However, AI has been around for some time. I do have a post I’m working on that is more specific to AI than this prompt. When I left work, Chase had developed its own LLM, and I used it to craft better emails. Mainly because I can be a bit terse and acerbic with people, and my email was not wrong, but it didn’t give the warm-and-fuzzy. I’m direct, which means if I have already covered a topic with you and I have to explain it again in an email, I get scratchy. Enter the world of AI. I wrote my email with the message I wanted and asked AI to make it pretty, informative, non-confrontational, and make the person feel good. They were great emails, and my team would say, “Kevin used AI for that. “

This was just the latest technology trend to hit the work environment, and I have seen many, and I am glad I do not have to navigate this in the employment landscape going forward.

  1. You are right. AI has been around for a while. I created my first neural network using the Rumelhart backpropagation algorithm with it in 1987.

    1. Thanks for the reply. Technology is fast but some things evolve slower before they show up for the masses.

  2. Absolutely, I even had a post tying to AI and therapists https://theintellectualsguidetoai.wordpress.com

    1. Thanks for the reply. That is a bit of the danger for AI, people will use it or try to for everything.
