ChatGPT, the powerful artificial intelligence (AI) tool from OpenAI, presents unparalleled risk and opportunity. It puts some jobs at risk of elimination but also can enhance a person’s skill set so they become more valuable to an employer.

The trick for people who want to get the most out of ChatGPT — and ideally keep their jobs or find a new one — is to learn the best ways to prompt ChatGPT and other AI tools to produce accurate and powerful results.
Thousands of articles and YouTube videos discuss ways to use ChatGPT to make money, with advice on how to understand its power and limitations. There are evolving best practices for crafting ChatGPT prompts, including the use of action words, using specific language, providing contextual examples and telling the AI the preferred length of response in words. People need to move past knowing that ChatGPT exists to become skilled users that leverage the tool in multiple ways.
Training to Improve ChatGPT Usage
Lance Junck, a 23-year-old full-time brand strategist, recently launched “ChatGPT Masterclass: A Complete ChatGPT Guide for Beginners.” He is an early ChatGPT adopter who immediately saw the chatbot’s promise to offer generative content and answers that were relevant to millions of users’ daily personal and professional lives. He saw a market need for training people to use the tool effectively and to quickly move past an initial learning curve.
Junck put the course on Udemy, a popular online learning and teaching marketplace that offers hundreds of ChatGPT-focused courses for coding, content creation and myriad other uses.
In just three months Junck enrolled more than 15,000 students — he now has over 22,000 enrollees — and reported earning nearly $35,000 in profits during this span. He’s a self-taught ChatGPT expert without technical training and says he spends hours a day on the tool and voraciously reads AI and ChatGPT news content to gain context. The course discusses how to write effective ChatGPT prompts, its various applications for different groups as well as how to generate artwork with DALL-E2, OpenAI’s AI image generator.
He plans to leverage his recent popularity and demand for the course to offer future classes for the Bing chatbot as well as Google’s planned Bard AI solution.
An In-Demand Job Skill
The ChatGPT training offered by Junck and others reflects the technology’s surging popularity and the desires of hiring managers. A recent survey of business leaders conducted by Resume Builder found 9 out of 10 respondents want job seekers to have experience with ChatGPT. It also found nearly half of the respondents' companies are using ChatGPT to perform a variety of tasks such as content creation and customer service.

Given the speed of technological change and usage, it is not enough for job seekers to simply note they can use ChatGPT, which is accessible to even tech neophytes. Instead, they need to note prior accomplishments with the AI, just as they would highlight the ways they’ve used other technologies to generate revenue or attract new customers.
The rise of ChatGPT and other tools presents AI as a core business need for companies of any size. Helping firms to not fall behind is GenesisAI, a startup offering a web platform for businesses to use AI’s power without the traditionally associated expense.
