Economist Tyler Cowen on How ChatGPT Is Changing Your Job - Ep. 7 with Tyler Cowen

Tyler Cowen is an economist who has been thinking about the impact of technology on life, work, and the economy for the past decade.

He is a prolific writer behind the leading economic blog Marginal Revolution, a professor of economics at George Mason University, and the author of 17 books.

In this episode, I dive deep with him on how ChatGPT will change the economy, and how he uses it in his own life. We get into:

  • How ChatGPT makes him smarter
  • How he uses it for deep reading and research
  • How it acts as a “universal translator” when he travels
  • How he uses ChatGPT and Perplexity AI together
  • How “charisma” and “a hyped-up executive function” may be the most economically rewarded skills over the next 10 years
  • His thoughts on the allocation economy and the future of work with AI-assistance
  • Whether a ChatGPT clone of Tyler’s personality would answer questions in the same way Tyler does himself

This is a must-watch for anyone who wants insights on adapting to the future of work.
