Automation

We generally think of automation as replacing unskilled repetitive jobs but that may not be the case. Chat GPT is a computer app that some are afraid may take over jobs. A recent report says the jobs most at risk are lawyers and professors. Professors teach the same course every year and probably hear the same question so they would be relatively easy to replace. They have TA's for students who need special help. They could spend their time doing research and publishing which is what the universities like them to do.
