Today's discussion revolves around whether ChatGPT could potentially take over jobs, particularly in the field of BI and Power BI modeling. ChatGPT is a generative AI that creates text-based outputs by analyzing large amounts of text data from the internet. While it can generate code, it might not always function correctly and can produce errors if not carefully reviewed.
In practice, some clients use ChatGPT for basic tasks, like creating flow diagrams for Power Platform apps. While useful, these outputs often require further refinement. It's essential to be cautious with data privacy when using ChatGPT, as sensitive information should not be uploaded.
Despite its limitations, ChatGPT can be a valuable tool if used correctly. It can handle standard tasks and free up time for more complex work, allowing professionals to focus on strategic tasks and client engagement. The tool requires practice and a clear understanding of its strengths and weaknesses to be used effectively.
It's also important to note that using ChatGPT leaves a data footprint, and the latest version, ChatGPT-4, is a paid service. The conversation concludes with an agreement to discuss AI ethics and data handling in the next session.
