People Who Should Learn to Use ChatGPT

Some key points:

" With optimal prompting, ChatGPT can perform some tasks surprisingly well. But with sub-optimal prompting, the results can be useless.

Also, some Excel users are prone to sinking time into it trying to get it to perform tasks that are more appropriately handled by other software tools. As with Excel, knowing what ChatGPT should and should not be used for will not be immediately obvious to a novice.

...Most of the potential uses of the software have not been imagined, much less tried and tested.

I am just trying to encourage you to become an early adopter. If you are one of the first people in your organization, or one of the first people in your profession, to learn how to form prompts well and how to incorporate ChatGPT’s output into your work, then you will probably enjoy a productivity advantage for several years. If I am correct, then the laggards will lose out to the early adopters. You are better off eating than getting eaten.

What will reduce the advantage of early adopters will be the emergence of a training infrastructure around ChatGPT. That suggests that one can earn a nice living as part of that infrastructure. "
