    My old company before they laid me off laid off our entire HR and Comms teams in exchange for ChatGPT Enterprise.

    “We can just have an AI chatbot for HR and pay inquiries and ask Dall-e to create icons and other content”.

    A friend who still works there told me they’re hiring a bunch of “prompt engineers” to improve the quality of the AI outputs haha

      That’s an even worse ‘use case’ than I could imagine.

      HR should be one of the most protected fields against AI, because you actually need a human resource.

      And “prompt engineer” is so stupid. The “job” is only necessary because the AI doesn’t understand what you want to do well enough. The only productive guy you could hire would be a programmer or something, that could actually tinker with the AI.

      I’m sorry. Hope you find a better job, on the inevitable downswing of the hype, when someone realizes that a prompt can’t replace a person in customer service. Customers will invest more time, i.e., even wait in a purposely engineered holding music hell, to have a real person listen to them.
