WRITER VS ROBOT
It’s no secret that ChatGPT is coming for my job. It’s been hovering around the precipice of my consciousness for months. Taunting me with its super-fast results and extraordinary ability to write like a pirate when prompted.
So when I was tasked with going head-to-head with the thing, I was a little nervous. Especially as it was my boss that asked me to. Could this software really have me searching SEEK listings? Or does the human come out on top?
Let’s see if you can guess who’s who.
Craft 40 words about how tools make our lives easier
Tools are designed to simplify and expedite tasks, making our lives easier. From simple handheld implements like scissors and hammers to complex machinery like cranes and excavators, tools have enabled us to accomplish things that would have been impossible otherwise, increasing efficiency and productivity in all areas of life.
Vs…
Tools help humans complete tasks with less hassle. For example, instead of post-by-carrier pigeon, we share news over the internet through email or social media. It’s way easier. Tools range from flint-tip spears to Microsoft Teams.
Craft 40 words about technology changing jobs
Technology is changing the job market, with automation and artificial intelligence taking over tasks that were once performed by humans. While this can lead to job loss, it also presents opportunities for upskilling and retraining in emerging fields. Adapting to these changes is crucial for success in the modern workforce.
Vs…
Technology is the smarter way to work. These days farmers can use sensors embedded in the farm floor to read the soil. This can help them decide the best times to water their crops, rather than just eyeballing it.
Craft 40 words about the difference between humans and robots
Humans can think, feel and do. We’re emotional blobs that take pleasure in using our imaginations. Robots can only think and do. They can’t act independently; they can only do what they’ve been told to do. Humans are much sillier.
Vs…
Humans and robots differ in their ability to think creatively, empathize, and connect emotionally. While robots excel in tasks requiring speed and precision, they lack the intuition, flexibility, and emotional intelligence that humans possess. The combination of human and robot skills is essential for the optimal productivity and innovation.
Craft 40 words about technology and efficiency
Technology has revolutionised the way we live and work, providing us with faster and more efficient solutions to problems. From communication tools to automation software, technology has enabled us to accomplish more in less time, leading to increased productivity, reduced costs, and improved overall efficiency.
Vs…
Technology helps humans do things more efficiently. For example, it’s much easier for robots to build cars in a production line than it is for humans. They don’t need breaks or ask annoying questions – they’re brainless… in a good way.
Craft 40 words about the downside of technology and efficiency
With the speed technology evolves, more and more human-centric jobs become redundant. Humans can’t compete with the efficiency of robots. Hence why McDonalds have made all their restaurants self-serve through screens. It’s all good until the receipt roll runs out.
Vs…
The downside of technology and efficiency is that it can create dependency and reduce human interaction. Automation may lead to job loss, and overreliance on technology can lead to decreased critical thinking skills. Additionally, the rapid pace of technological change can create a sense of overwhelm and anxiety for some people.
Craft 40 words about robots and creativity
Robots and artificial intelligence are increasingly being used to enhance creativity in various industry, including music, art and design. With their ability to analyse data and generate new ideas, robots can collaborate with humans to push the boundaries of creativity and inspire innovation.
Vs…
Robots can only create things that have come from something a human brain has already thought of. Like poetry that’s been informed by a Ke$ha song. Or art that’s been informed by Dali’s brush. They’re not that smart.
Think you know who’s who? Let us know. And if you think I should pack up my writing gig – maybe keep that to yourself…
