Economist Tyler Cowen on How ChatGPT Is Changing Your Job - Ep. 7 with Tyler Cowen

Listen Later

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.
