Ep. 4: Overhyped or Underestimated: Is ChatGPT Coming for Your Job?
So… is ChatGPT actually coming for your job? In this episode, I walk you through the GPT-5 release, what’s new, what’s noise, and why I think most folks won’t even notice a difference.

Main Topics Covered
Key GPT-5 updates for users
OpenAI’s “phD-level intelligence” claim
New email and calendar integration

AI hype vs. real job impact
Media narratives around AI job loss
