A few years ago, seasoned copywriters were able to spot that a piece of writing was produced by an AI, which has now vanished, and we have passed that stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AI tools have greatly advanced in replacing roles in data, routine analysis, and administrative tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Seale added that while many have argued that people using AI, creating the prompts, would replace people who don\u2019t use AI, that is no longer the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrompting is fast disappearing, it is not going to be this major career path that you can choose. And if you play with AI now, you will find that you speak to it in plain English, and it is quite intuitive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAI\u2019s ability to mimic human beings is too good. So, I am concerned that accountants, journalists, copywriters, SEO, lawyers&#8230; I can\u2019t see how these jobs are not impacted in a major way by AI,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Rwanda<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
