Will ChatGPT Do to Google What Google Did to The Yellow Pages?

ChatGPT will do to Google what Google did to YellowPages.

True or unnecessary panic?

If you’re in any of these industries, here’s what you need to know:

ChatGPT is an AI chatbot blowing up the internet.

It hit 1M users in 5 days!

People are predicting it will:

• Eliminate jobs

• Automate entire industries

• And lead to the biggest innovation since the iPhone

Here’s how I believe it will affect the following industries:

Part 1: How AI will disrupt industries in the next 1-10 years

(The shake up phase)

AI accelerates creativity

Creativity = linking unrelated ideas

• Research

• Song lyrics

• Movie scripts

Take anywhere from 3 days to 3+ years to complete.

ChatGPT can complete a bulk of these tasks in seconds.

It’s not replacing creativity.

It’s making it faster.

AI will simplify research

I asked Open AI’s Playground for the tech specs of an iPhone 13 pro max.

It got it 90% correct.

Future models will improve accuracy drastically.

Tedious hours of Google searches will be done in seconds.

AI disrupts the coding landscape

ChatGPT can already pump out entire pieces of mostly correct code.

And provide solutions to one-off coding problems.

As this tech develops:

• Teams will be smaller

• Less capital will be needed

• Code will be completed faster

AI will disrupt content marketing

Future versions of ChatGPT will analyze social patterns better than humans.

It will collect data from social media and use it to write:

• amazing headlines

• content optimized for retention

Don't believe me?

It wrote this thread’s headline

AI will disrupt email marketing

Give ChatGPT access to social media,

It will understand a person's profile at light speed:

a) Distill a brand into single insights

b) Craft personable cold email with high open rates

Stay at the front of this to make a fortune.

How you can avoid AI disruption in the next 1-10 years:

As more people and businesses begin to rely on algorithms,

Consumers will turn to personal brands they trust.

If you’ve been sleeping on brand, begin building today.

How to profit from AI in the next 1-10 years:

• Join the teams creating AI

• Teach people how to use AI

• Incorporate AI into your business systems

Whether we like it or not, this tech is happening.

Make use of it or be left behind.

Part 2: How AI will REPLACE industries in 10+ years:

Will your job be replaced?

AI will replace Google

It’s only a matter of time before it replaces the traditional Google search as we know it.

Why would you waste your time searching Google, when an AI can do it in seconds?

Given Microsoft and Bing’s Open AI backing, they’d love nothing more than this.

AI replaces traditional school systems

Learning how to:

• Write

• Research

• Calculate

Will be of little use if it can be outsourced to AI.

Once the algorithms produce quality work with 100% accuracy.

The education system and what we teach will need to change.

AI will replace personal brands

Technology for deep fakes and CGI actors already exists.

Imagine when AI can generate:

1. hyper-realistic imaging and video

   
   

2. realistic speech and scripts

   
   

3. organic interactions

   
   

Both fascinating and scary.

AI will combine with robotics

Disrupting work in the physical world.

Labor positions are an obvious replacement,

But some of our most coveted positions could also be outsourced:

• Doctors

• Lawyers

• Psychologists

Our scope of human-offered services will need to adapt.

AI will dominate creative industries

Such as:

• Composing beautiful music

• Writing perfect movie scripts

• Creating jaw dropping CGI landscapes

• Auto generating perfect characters (voice and image)

If this happens, does that make AI better at being human than humans?

A final crazy thought.

The end game of AI tech:

a) Replaces humans Humans could become obsolete with the combination of AI and robotics.

b) Combines with humans

Neuralink could combine AI with human biology to create a new species.

Freaky.

Only time will tell.

Thanks for reading.

AI is both fascinating and terrifying to me.
