Raw LLM Responses

That quote comes from the World Economic Forum **2020** Report on Future of Jobs. https://www.weforum.org/reports/the-future-of-jobs-report-2020/ Recommend giving it a read and skim, even if outdated. The latest discussions from the WEF can be found in this discussion panel from WEF 2023 that ended recently: https://www.weforum.org/events/world-economic-forum-annual-meeting-2023/sessions/ai-and-white-collar-jobs Also a good watch. The panel was kind of last minute job because ChatGPT *just* came out in open beta late November and it [exploded](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=ChatGPT) discussion of AI, and despite that the forum was jam packed because *everyone* is *very* concerned.
