The AI chatbot is a pretty good interpreter. You cannot drove the river.
Microsoft researchers analyzed which carriers had the least impact and least impact of generative AI and large-scale language models based on an anonymized dataset between US users and Tech Giant's Copilot Chatbot, known as Bing Copilot.
They found that the jobs most likely to be affected involve people who provide and communicate information, including translators, historians and writers.
Researchers avoided the most pressing questions about AI. It's about eliminating or even growing workforce employment. Rival CEOs are disputing the view of humanity CEO Dario Amodei that AI can wipe out half of white-collar entry-level jobs over the next five years. Others of technology, such as Mark Cuban, believe that AI will become the creator of online jobs.
This paper does not cover whether interpreters and translators (the occupations they found most overlap with AI) should fear their future. Similarly, researchers have not concluded that dredge operators are safe (in unaffected occupations).
“Our research shows that AI supports many tasks, particularly tasks that involve research, writing and communication, but does not show that it is possible to fully perform a single occupation,” said Kiran Tomlinson, a senior researcher at Microsoft, the lead author of the paper, in a statement from Business Insider. “As AI adoption accelerates, it is important that we continue to study and understand its social and economic impacts better.”
Based on chatbot data, researchers were able to see what users wanted from AI and what AI was responding and running. These findings can then be compared to the types of tasks that are most likely to overlap with the AI chatbot.

Their findings reiterate research and view that AI chatbots probably have far greater overlap with office work than those that require physical work or interaction. If this is the case, it means that AI will change a different part of the workforce than the technological revolution of the past.
Among the jobs that were most affected were ph tax scientists, nursing assistants, and dangerous material removal workers.
This does not mean that physical labor jobs are not affected. The researchers also warned that their data were only about large-scale language models.
“Other applications of AI can certainly affect occupations, including driving and monitoring machines, such as truck driving,” they write.
