At the end of 2022, more precisely in November 2022, the ChatGPT artificial intelligence appeared. Its appearance caused an upheaval in the web profession, resulting in problems for freelancers. This article will reveal the positives and negatives of this new AI in the world of freelancing.
What is ChatGPT ?
ChatGPT is a conversational artificial intelligence created by OpenAI. In other words, it’s a conversational agent designed to automatically generate content similar to human discussion. Indeed, this tool can help you enormously with certain tasks, because it has been created from innumerable quantities of data. For example, ChatGPT can generate articles, schedules, speeches, translations and more.

ChatGPT comes from 2 words: Chat and GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer). In other words, this artificial intelligence can provide you with the answers you need, provided your request can be processed.
What are the advantages of this AI ?
Now, here are some of the benefits you can get from using the ChatGPT chatbot:
- Content writing : you can ask the AI to generate an article according to your needs. All you have to do is provide the keywords and structure of the article and ChatGPT will process it. The tool can do this in just a few seconds.
- Computer programming : developers can use it to help them code. ChatGPT offers accurate results and is capable of correcting errors in your programming.
- Save time : since it’s an autonomous tool, you can entrust this AI with certain tasks. You don’t need to waste time processing your work.
- Answering all your queries : indeed, ChatGPT can answer all your queries, thanks to the complexity of its language. As a result, the AI is able to process several pieces of information in order to give you an answer.
However, you shouldn’t rely on ChatGPT in everything you do, because the chatbot has its limits too. Artificial intelligence is only supposed to help you in certain difficulties. It can’t always provide you with correct and accurate information. So you have to be careful not to depend on this AI, especially when it comes to work.
What about its limits ?
There’s no denying that ChatGPT is a quick solution when you’re in a bind. However, artificial intelligence isn’t the best option, because it may give you an answer that doesn’t match your expectations. The information AI offers may also be outdated or erroneous. It relies on old data to generate answers. This means you need to check the content from top to bottom to see if the information is correct and reliable. You may have to redo all the work, which takes time to process.

The lack of quality and originality is also a problem with ChatGPT. In fact, the content is generated from an algorithm, which is not at all good for web users looking for relevant, up-to-date information. ChatGPT generates answers from existing, dated content. This means retyping the entire text to ensure its reliability and relevance.
Even if the content created by the chatbot seems correct, it lacks creativity and impact. ChatGPT can never replace human intelligence. In copywriting, for example, the content provided by the AI is often monotonous, emotionless, meaningless and lacking in intonation.
Conclusion
ChatGPT is both a good and a bad tool for users. You need to understand that it’s a text generator based on existing information. The answers provided by artificial intelligence are therefore not up to date. Nevertheless, it can help you face an obstacle through the data it has gathered from a number of sources. In some cases, ChatGPT is very useful, but in others, it should be avoided because of the reliability of the information it provides. It’s up to you to check that the data is correct before using it for your purposes.
The best thing to do is to rely on your own intelligence and not to depend on artificial intelligence. Bear in mind that ChatGPT is a double-edged sword, especially when it comes to copywriting.
