Our newsletter topic could influence not only all of us over the coming year but also future generations. It is dedicated to gaining insights into Artificial Intelligence and AI Chatbots. Potentially impacting all aspects of life as we know it is no exaggeration! Included is an interview with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, where a series of career-related questions were asked. AI-generated responses immediately follow the questions below. Some of the answers are pretty good, while others, not so much. See the full transcript in this newsletter.
Before sharing this AI career “dialogue,” I want to refer you to a previous LinkedIn post titled “AI ChatBot FAILS Accounting Final with a 46%, dropping from 83.3%: As a business faculty member or student, should I be worried or encouraged? The full post, with 13,000+ inspired views, 175+ insightful comments, and 75+ anxious reposts, can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/posts/drscottcpa_aibot-chatbot-chatgbt-activity-7008409190507429888-GTsx/. Please feel free to share your thoughts and impressions directly on this post.

As for my grade for this career interview, which is included below, I give it an 80%. I did not include the last question, #10, in that 80% as it was, unfortunately, a totally wrong answer. I, therefore, treated it as an outlier and eliminated it from the grading – though I was wishing it could be true.
Let me know what you think! Could such a tool replace the Google query, a kind of “Google on Steroids” allowing for a natural language dialogue of questions and answers? Could it replace employees or even the CEO of a company? Actually, it already has.
An AI CEO has been appointed at the Chinese gaming company NetDragon Websoft. They named it Tang Yu. I wonder what “she” (they personified her as she) is being paid.

Q5: Write an article on choosing your career
Choosing a career can be one of the most daunting decisions of your life. With so many options and potential paths, it can be difficult to know where to start. It’s important to take the time to research and explore all of your options before committing to a career. Here are a few tips to help you find the right job.
First, assess your skills, interests, and values. Think about what you do best, what you enjoy, and what is important to you. This will help you narrow down your search and make it easier to find an occupation that you’ll be passionate about.
Next, research the different types of jobs available. You can do this by talking to professionals in the field, looking at job postings, and reading industry publications. This will give you an idea of the types of skills and qualifications that employers are looking for.
Once you have an idea of the type of career you’d like to pursue, it’s time to start networking. Connect with people in your chosen field and get their advice on what it takes to succeed. This will help you gain a better understanding of the industry and give you valuable insight into what it’s really like (note: I purposely limited the ChatGBT length of the article. It cut off mid-sentence).
