Run for the hills, friends! SkyNet is almost here! Well, actually, in all seriousness, analysts and researchers are predicting the next big breakthrough in artificial intelligence will be a state-of-the-art natural language processing tool developed by OpenAI called GPT-3, which is capable of writing songs, press releases, technical manuals, computer code, and even write in the style of particular authors. So GPT-3 stands for Generative Pre-Trained transformer and is defined as an auto-regressive language model that uses deep learning to produce human-like texts. Now, these cloud AI services will synthesize words, intentions, and information and language much cheaper than what we are doing right now, obviously, which will make many business activities more efficient. But I know what you're thinking. And yes, these coming changes are going to result in companies and individuals needing to radically rethink jobs, and the time to do so is now.
