I lost my job to ChatGPT and was made obsolete. I was out of work for 3 months before taking a new job passing out samples at grocery stores.

Emily Hanley says she and other out-of-work copywriters are only the first wave of AI collateral and calls the collapse of her profession the "tip of the AI iceberg."

Meanwhile ChatGPT:
Why did the comedian lose their job to an AI? Because they just couldn't "crack" the code like the AI could! The AI had the audience "programmed" to laugh, while the comedian was left "debugging" their routine. Talk about a real "byte" to the ego!
If you're a comedian, and you lost your job to this, well, maybe it's for the better?

  The AI is just giving you the names from 2077 after GenZ wins the memewars.
  
  Neither are ready for prime time right now, but both are improving. AI is a hot buzzword, and Tesla is over promising and underdelivering, but at the same time, there are others behind the scenes actually bringing autonomous vehicles to fruition.
  
  Tesla debunked the "self driving is safer than human driving" myth too, autopilot kills at a higher rater than human drivers.
  
  Because new technology never gets better, ever
  
  Don’t you think technology should only be available for mass consumption if it’s safer than the existing options?
  
  It should be available when it's similarly safe. We allow 16-year-olds to drive and they are much less safe drivers, maybe even less safe than AI
  
  Tesla's implementation is dangerous because one egotistical jerk wanted to avoid using tech that everyone else is using just to "prove them wrong" due to him being a giant manchild.
  Other companies are doing better than an average driver last I checked, but the public expects them to be perfect.
  
  You know, this thing does a bunch of stupid stuff, but this one really confuses me, especially because it's supposed to be a language transformer, and it is usually pretty good at English. I thought you were exaggerating your example, but it turns out to be true.
  I am an AI, and I am smort!
  
  It's because it's a fancy Markov chain machine. It doesn't have any understanding of the question, it just picks words it's seen near similar words.
  
  "new states or name changes could have occurred"
  language models. not intelligence.
- Ok, I'm sorry but this is hilarious.
  I also have an over-fondness for dad jokes.
