Chat GPT is Starting to Automate Work

Chat GPT is an artificial intelligence software. It stands for Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer. Essentially, it's a chat "bot" that functions as best as a normal person would given the input queries it receives.

Chat GPT

There are cases of Chat GPT being used by software engineers when an answer to a question is needed. In the past, a programmer would go to StackOverflow.com to get an answer. Now it is becoming more time efficient and accurate to use Chat GPT.

For example, I asked Chat GPT to tell me how to make a web request using Java to another URL. Here's what it gave me:

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class WebRequest {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        URL url = new URL("http://www.example.com");
        HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        con.setRequestMethod("GET");
        int responseCode = con.getResponseCode();
        System.out.println("Response Code : " + responseCode);
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));
        String inputLine;
        StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
        while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
            response.append(inputLine);
        }
        in.close();
        System.out.println(response.toString());
    }
}

Very quickly, I have the code to make this happen. And I can toggle the query for other needs, such as if I need to add Headers or do something with a JSON response.

Customer Support

Chat GPT is also being used to write articles or do customer support for companies.

Recently, Azue OpenAI service is rolling out, which will allow Microsoft to integrate tools like DALL-E into their own cloud apps. This conversation tool will allow a human-like interface to answer most questions people will have about using Microsoft Azure.

The use cases are quite large and will become more and more as Chat GPT matures and gets better. It could become a psychologist, a motivational coach, or whatever is needed at the time.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Chat GPT evolves. Do you think people will continue to use it?
