How AI Is Already Reshaping White-Collar Work | WSJ
Artificial intelligence doesn’t just make fantastical images. For white-collar workers, generative AI like ChatGPT can make jobs easier by creating drafts of documents or presentations. Initial images, video and product designs could be taken over by machine learning tech.
