Economist Tyler Cowen on How ChatGPT Is Changing Your Job - Ep. 7 with Tyler Cowen
Description
Tyler Cowen is an economist who has been thinking about the impact of technology on life, work, and the economy for the past decade.
He is a prolific writer behind the leading economic blog Marginal Revolution, a professor of economics at George Mason University, and the author of 17 books.
In this episode, I dive deep with him on how ChatGPT will change the economy, and how he uses it in his own life. We get into:
How ChatGPT makes him smarter
How he uses it for deep reading and research
How it acts as a “universal translator” when he travels
How he uses ChatGPT and Perplexity AI together
How “charisma” and “a hyped-up executive function” may be the most economically rewarded skills over the next 10 years
His thoughts on the allocation economy and the future of work with AI-assistance
Whether a ChatGPT clone of Tyler’s personality would answer questions in the same way Tyler does himself
This is a must-watch for anyone who wants insights on adapting to the future of work.
