🥟 Chao-Down #284 Google targets AI spam in search results, Study finds ChatGPT-created workouts are too cautious and incomplete, TurboTax and H&R Block chatbots give poor advice 50% of the time

How is AI changing the type of work people do?

Henley Chiu from Bloomberry recently analyzed data from the freelance marketplace Upwork and found that since the release of ChatGPT, AI seems to be having the most negative impact on translation work, creative writing jobs, and market research jobs. Interestingly growth showed up more in higher-order and more complex tasks like accounting, sales, and video editing/production. 

Will AI continue to eat more pieces of work?
