Many of the predictions around the rise of artificial intelligence — specifically “generative” AI like ChatGPT — have bordered on doomsday, at least for the job market. Goldman Sachs, for example, is on record as saying that generative AI models could impact 300 million jobs worldwide, or roughly 25% of the global workforce.
But so far, some workers have actually benefited quite handsomely from the use of AI. The ability of generative AI to perform certain tasks can actually free up some of your time, to the point that you could even work multiple jobs at the same time. If you’re wondering how that is possible, read on to learn more.
Creating Marketing Copy
If you work in the marketing industry, generative AI might be an easy way for you to take on extra work. AI can rapidly create marketing copy around the parameters you enter for it, allowing you to simply tweak the product that comes out and make it your own. It can also produce copy much faster than you can, allowing you to consistently take on additional jobs at the same time.
Writing Blog Posts
Blog posts are among the easiest things for generative AI to produce. By asking just a few simple questions, you can get essentially unlimited content about nearly any topic you imagine. The caveat, of course, is that you still have to vet the material you’re receiving.
For starters, most reputable publishing houses have AI monitors that can tell if you’re simply cutting and pasting your content. But even on your own blog site, posts that are too generic won’t likely attract much by way of traffic.
However, AI can give you a head start in terms of creating outlines and paragraph drafts much faster that you could produce them. Then, you can personalize them as you wish.
Handling Cover Letters
Some ambitious users of generative AI report using the technology to apply for other jobs. A cover letter, after all, is essentially just a type of essay, but about yourself. If you can tell the AI what parameters you are trying to fulfill, it can draft multiple cover letters, each one tailored towards a specific employer. This can save a lot of time if you’re applying for multiple jobs at the same time.
You can even make each letter unique in a relatively short period of time, rather than using a generic cover letter for each application.
Managing Customer Service
If your primary job is to respond to customer service complaints in writing, AI might be able to significantly reduce your workload, allowing you to take on extra jobs. With just a few simple instructions, a generative AI platform could rapidly respond to all of your outstanding letters. A simple review to ensure they’re solving the problem may be all you’ll have to do to get through your backlog.
Drafting Computer Programs
You might think that generative AI isn’t “smart enough” to put together a complicated computer program — and you’d be right. But that doesn’t mean that it can’t still be extremely helpful to workers in the industry.
A computer programmer on Reddit posted that generative AI is “really good at putting together the skeleton of a program you want to write starting with just general prompts… ChatGPT will give me a semi-broken program that I can look at and then start correcting it on the same chat until it approximates something I can test. Saves a ton of time.”
Automating Repetitive Tasks
Perhaps the most useful way that generative AI can be used is to perform repetitive tasks in an automated fashion. In other words, if your job entails doing essentially the same thing over and over, a generative AI with the proper guidance can complete that task for you over and over as well. Once you’ve set up the AI to the point that it can handle a job once, putting it on autopilot to repeat the task is simple.
The Bottom Line
While generative AI doesn’t have the brain capacity of a human being, what it’s good at doing, it does very well. Essentially, the way to leverage the power of AI from a job perspective is to get it to reduce your workload so that you are free to pick up more hours or work multiple jobs.
While you shouldn’t rely on AI to actually do your work for you, it can give you a huge leg up in terms of time and effort, and that may afford you the opportunity to work multiple jobs.
