My post this morning feels even more timely with all the AI news today about GPT-4 & ChatGPT set to the backdrop of announcements of yet more layoffs.

Everyone's talking about AI, but we're not hearing nearly as much about how it's going to affect the labor market. So I developed a few criteria to help you determine whether your job might be disrupted by generative AI and (more importantly!) what you can start doing *today* to AI-proof your role.

How to tell if AI threatens YOUR job

Can ChatGPT help do your job? If so, how can you be sure AI won't eventually replace you? Spot whether your job is at risk and what you can do about it.

@searls Nobody's job is "safe" from AI. Doesn't matter if you're the CEO of the world's biggest corporation, or your job is literally washing someone's behind.

It's just a matter of time before that particular job is done by AI, or by a device designed by an AI.

And no, you're not safe if you're a psychologist, priest or grief councelor.

It might be a good thing, or the most dystopian future you can imagine, depending on perspective.

@searls Do you have one for how I can get in the ring with an anthropomorphized iteration of Midjourney?
