According to ResumeBuilder, which surveyed 1,000 employers using or planning to use the new technology, which appeared just a few months ago, about half of the companies already have ChatGPT replacing employees on a number of tasks. Nearly all of the companies surveyed said they have made significant savings on ChatGPT task transfers and intend to expand the practice.

The business leaders surveyed indicated that employers plan to streamline certain tasks using ChatGPT.

Thus, 66% of companies use ChatGPT for writing code, 58% - as a substitute for the labor of copywriters, 57% - in customer support services, and 52% - for the preparation of resumes and other documents.

When hiring, 77% of companies use ChatGPT to write job descriptions, 66% use it to create interview invitations, and 65% use it to respond to job seekers' applications. As for how executives feel about ChatGPT, 55% say it's "great," and 34% say it's "very good.

The ResumeBuilder survey found that almost all businesses surveyed saved money thanks to ChatGPT: 48% reported they were able to save more than $50,000, and 11% said they saved more than $100,000. Of all the businesses that reported using the bot, 93% said they intended to expand its use, and 90% of executives believe ChatGPT will be useful to job seekers - if not already replacing them in the workplace.

But the technology is also actively criticized - there are news reports about the likelihood of plagiarism and/or cheating in one form or another with ChatGPT. Many mention racism, sexism, and inaccuracies in the bot's "work," not to mention its emotional instability - as demonstrated repeatedly by the use of ChatGPT.

OpenAI introduced ChatGPT last November and released it as a stable version in February. OpenAI head Sam Altman has previously warned against relying on bots for "anything important," and in a series of recent tweets has expressed concern about the vectors of AI technology. In his view, the industry is still in its infancy.

Nevertheless, major companies have already announced mass layoffs of employees along with multimillion-dollar investments in the AI field. In January, Alphabet announced 12,000 job cuts, and CEO Sundar Pichai cited artificial intelligence as a key area of investment. Microsoft announced its $10 billion investment in OpenAI days after announcing the layoffs of 10,000 employees. The MLIV Pulse study argues that advanced AI will cause a wave of layoffs in the media, financial, legal and technology sectors for the foreseeable future.
