"WE'VE ONLY JUST TURNED ON THE COMPUTER," says Daniel Novitzkas, the CEO and co-founder of Specno. This SA start-up is already leveraging Al to decode app and design solutions for clients in record time, but he believes this new tech is still in a veritable Stone Ageat least compared to where we're going. "It's almost like we've just invented the internet with the launch of ChatGPT," he adds.
If you haven't engaged with this powerful chatbot, it has basically retooled the capabilities of AI as part of a conversational model, letting you tap into its full expertise with simple text prompts. For example, it can tackle simple tasks like writing email responses or answering trivia questions. However, it can-with a bit of finesse-write computer code, compile recipes and help you brainstorm your next presentation. (Tons of people are even using the bot to refine their approaches and responses on dating apps.)
While doomsayers are certain our new robot overlords are just years away from replacing every single one of us in the workplace, short-term gains have shown a huge uptick in productivity for the average worker. A series of Stanford University studies found that some employees were able to get 66% more done each day. That's mindboggling if you consider that, yes, we're still in the Stone Age.
Unsurprisingly, millions of users flooded in to trial ChatGPT during its public rollout making it the fastest-growing app in history. Straight out of the gate, the platform's ability to churn out effective, human solutions was uncanny but, "I don't think we're going to be able to fathom what Al is going to allow us to achieve in the next decade," adds Novitzkas.
But what does this all mean for you? Let's dive into the Matrix.
