Title: TL;DR (summarised by ChatGPT) - I&#x27;m experiencing increased productivity and independence with ChatGPT but grappling with challenges such as lack of work-life boundaries and overwhelming information, leading to stress and burnout.<p>Long story...<p>I have been using ChatGPT for a while, and moved to the Plus subscription for their GPT-4 model, which I must say, is quite good.<p>1. ChatGPT makes us very productive. Personally, in my early 40s, I feel my brain is back in 20s.<p>2. I no longer feel the need to hire juniors. This is a short-term positive and maybe a long-term negative.
[[EDIT: I may have implied a wrong meaning. To clarify - nobody&#x27;s going yet because of ChatGPT. It is just raising the bar high and higher. What took me years to learn, this thing can do already and much more. And I cannot predict the financial future of OpenAI or the markets in general.]]<p>A lot of stuff I used to delegate to fellow humans are now being delegated to ChatGPT. And I can get the results immediately and at any time I want. I agree that it cannot operate on its own. I still need to review and correct things. I have do that even when working with other humans. The only difference is that I can start trusting a human to improve, but I cannot expect ChatGPT to do so. Not that it is incapable, but because it is restricted by OpenAI.<p>And I have gotten better at using it. Calling myself a prompt-engineer sounds weird.<p>With all the good, I am now experiencing the cons, stress and burnout:<p>1. Humans work 9-5 (or some schedule), but ChatGPT is available always and works instantly. Now, when I have some idea I want to try out - I start working on it immediately with the help of AI. Earlier I just used to put a note in the todo-list and stash it for the next day.<p>2. The outputs with ChatGPT are so fast, that my &quot;review load&quot; is too high. At times it feels like we are working for ChatGPT and not the other way around.<p>3. ChatGPT has the habit of throwing new knowledge back at you. Google does that too, but this feels 10x of Google. Sometimes it is overwhelming. Good thing is we learn a lot, bad thing is that if often slows down our decision making.<p>4. I tried to put a schedule to use it - but when everybody has access to this tech, I have a genuine fear of missing out.<p>5. I have zero doubt that AI is setting the bar high, and it is going to take away a ton of average-joe desk jobs. GPT-4 itself is quite capable and organisations are yet to embrace it.<p>And not the least, it makes me worry - what lies with the future models. I am not a layman when it comes to AI&#x2F;ML - have worked with it until the past few years in the pre-GPT era.<p>Has anybody experienced these issues? And how do you deal with those?<p>* I could not resist asking ChatGPT the above - couple of strategies it told me were to &quot;Seek Support from Others&quot; and &quot;Participating in discussions or groups focused on ethical AI&quot;. *
