I Finally Started Using ChatGPT Tasks
(Why Did It Take So Long?)
I’ve used ChatGPT religiously for two years. I pride myself on keeping up with everything it’s got going, as well as its competition.
One feature I noted quite some time ago but never really jumped into was ChatGPT Tasks. Part of me wanted to hold onto certain things, while another was just intimidated by it.
Huge mistake.
This week, I had some downtime and decided to wrestle with it a little bit more. To be clear, I already use AI to:
Aggregate news headlines into a bulleted list that I can easily copy and paste into my Kit newsletter;
Highlight a newly released AI tool with a mini-tutorial of its features and how to use it;
Outline and write the first draft of a thought-piece based on something from the day’s headlines;
Find an interesting prompt engineering use-case and compose a rough draft for the AI Prompt of the Day section.
I’ve put a lot of time, trial, and error into the prompts I use, but I’ve still been plugging them in manually and iterating and editing until I feel good about the final output.
A degree of that will never go away.
But with these tools now being able to do multiple things in a single push — think: o3 from ChatGPT or 2.5 Pro from Gemini searching the web, parsing through links, extracting insights, and creating a final deliverable with multiple points on a single prompt — the time seemed right to automate the automation, so to speak.
AI Isn't Killing Jobs, and Is Actually Increasing Wages
5 Big Insights from the PwC Report
Amina was an information analyst who spent her days scouring databases. Then her firm gave her a small AI assistant. The bot handled the grunt research. Amina shifted to pulling insights for clients. Her billable hours went up. So did her salary. She is part of a pattern that now shows up in almost a billion job ads and thousands of company reports.
1. Skills now outrank titles
- Workers who list real AI skills—prompt design, model tuning, or solid ChatGPT use—earn about 56 percent more than co-workers in the same role.
- Pay in industries that can use AI is growing twice as fast as in industries that can’t.
- The market is putting a price on fluency, not on job labels.
2. Jobs bend; they rarely break
- Openings in highly AI-exposed roles grew 38 percent in five years.
- Less-exposed roles grew 65 percent. Both numbers are up, just at different speeds.
- Even “automatable” jobs keep expanding because the boring parts shift to software while people tackle harder problems.
3. The learning cycle is shrinking
- The mix of skills employers request changes 66 percent faster in AI-heavy jobs than in others.
- Degree requirements are falling fastest in those same roles.
- Proof of ability beats pedigree.
4. Productivity—and revenue—follow the tech
- Industries ready for AI show three-times higher growth in revenue per employee than lagging sectors.
- Since 2022 that gap has widened as tools like ChatGPT hit the mainstream.
5. Demand keeps climbing
- Job ads that name AI skills rose 7.5 percent last year while total postings fell 11.3 percent.
- Every industry—even mining and construction—shows a bigger slice of roles asking for AI know-how.
