3 takeaways from a new study on ChatGPT’s impact freelancers in online labor markets: 1. Productivity: web developers saw job volume jump 6.5% and earnings jump 66.5% given AI’s use as a productivity partner. Marketing, PR, branding and photography also saw earning gains. Good for creative industries. 2. Displacement: translators saw job volume drop 9% and earnings drop 29.7% given AI replaced routine tasks. Writing and localization also saw earning losses. Bad for routine or structured industries. 3. Researchers argue that every industry has an AI inflection point where it switches from enhancing human productivity to replacing it; once you hit the inflection point, there’s no turning back (and ChatGPT upgrades have no impact on this). https://scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/4f39375d-59c2-4c4a-b394-f3eed7858c80/content

same, been thinking about that too. in LA, there is still a whole class of private drivers for the elite and/or famous. not quite sure those people are taking Waymos just yet.
