ChatGPT is a significant advancement in artificial intelligence technology. People are flocking to the popular artificial intelligence assistant tool to find answers to a variety of questions. However, concerns are growing over the capability of the technology fearing it will choke creativity, innovation and replace humans. Amid these surfacing concerns, a professor from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) has shared advice to ‘stay relevant in the post-ChatGPT era’.

Professor V. Ramgopal Rao, former director of IIT Delhi wrote in a Twitter post, “I used to tell students that, if they aren’t creative, Google will replace them. Now with ChatGPT on the horizon, and having used it for a few months now, I tell them, even if you are creative, there is a possibility that ChatGPT may replace you.”
Here are Professor Rao’s five pieces of advice:
1. The IIT professor stresses the importance of continuous learning and the upgradation of skills. “Learn to use new tools like ChatGPT effectively to boost your personal and group’s productivity. Just as you don’t hire a driver who can’t use Google Maps, no company will hire you in the future if you can’t use these tools effectively. Always remember, technology can be a useful servant but a dangerous master,” he says. ALSO READ: Loving ChatGPT? Check these other 5 AI tools
2. In Rao’s words, innovation is going beyond creativity, it is about generating value for your ideas. For this, he advises to network with people coming from different cultures, attitudes and backgrounds. “Don’t be a cocoon.”
3. In his 5-point advice piece, the IIT professor suggests not to be shallow or casual in actions. “If your job is getting too routine, too comfortable and if you aren’t learning anything new, believe me, the job isn’t going to last long,” he says.
4. Rao strongly recommends being an effective team player because, he writes, what matters most is how good you are for the team rather than your own individual excellence. ALSO READ: Google invests $300 mn in ChatGPT rival. Know about Anthropic | 5 points
5. Professor’s final piece of advice is to practise heart-mind coordination, which means making decisions with your heart but then letting your mind take over and do all the planning. “If you take all your decisions by your mind, you may never find your passion and may never do anything great. If you always let your heart to decide, you may not be able to deal with the repercussions.”
