OpenAI research shows that 43.5% of occupation-specific ChatGPT messages from U.S. business users related to tasks typically handled by a different profession. This indicates users are leveraging the model to address specialist work outside their primary field. Financial calculations and computer troubleshooting were among the top three most common tasks handled beyond users’ professions in all groups. Marketing-related tasks also appeared frequently across various occupations. The data captured messages within ChatGPT Business, not finished work, so it does not measure quality, productivity, or impact on jobs. Researchers note that, especially in small businesses, employees often solve problems outside their usual roles. AI is emerging as a versatile support tool across different functions. 📰 @aipost
