And the funny part is that ChatGPT isn't good enough at anything to be trusted with doing it alone. You still need an expert on the subject matter to proofread anything that will be seen by the public or used to make a business decision.

You can say the same for entry level employees though. I'm not trusting anyone new to post without review.

Granted I rather the company pay someone so they can be taught and eventually become autonomous over time.

And presumably a human who works has some intention to get it right so they can prove their worth or learn or any of a million reasons to want to succeed at work.

ChatGPT is just math in a black box that spits out random language stems filtered and organized by the input parameters you choose.

Which is the one in ten who really love what they do and want to go into management or oversee the process for professional fulfillment. Of the other nine, three are waiting to move to a company that pays better, two will decide they don't like it and change careers entirely, and four really are terrible at it but HR decided they met the minimum requirements and would work for entry level wages so they'll be in that job for the foreseeable future with zero upward growth, eventually getting bitter and doing a worse and worse job while complaining about their lack of promotion.

Not sure what industry you're in but that sounds like a fair wages and training problem, not an ambition problem. Most people are content to advance in an industry for the sake of job security and professional development, even if they don't have a particular passion for the specific job role, as long as they are being compensated fairly and see a path for advancement or transferable skills.

I'm architecture-adjacent, so I'm working with clients across a bunch of different market sectors, many are business owners, but my avocations are heavily into performing arts so many people I know in that group are a pretty substantial cross section of low to moderate wage, often entry level workers. I also own my business so I've been in the hiring and training side of things.
