Earlier this week, I asked ChatGPT to download 5,185 files (over 4.9 GB of data, just texts no images/videos) from a government database, and then classify them in a certain way and draw me some insights.
It took less than 2 hours. All perfectly done.
In 2024, I did something similar and it took a team of six people working for weeks to get it done...and of course, it had so many errors. Some files weren't downloaded, some downloaded more than once, some misclassified, etc.
It's not a ding on the people I assigned it to. That's too many files and too many downloads for mistakes to not slip in.
It's just a commentary on how much the world has changed in such a short time.
A single prompt can now do better what took six people almost one month to pull off.

Michael Taiwo, a social entrepreneur with an engineering PhD, asked ChatGPT to pull 4.9 GB of text files from a government database, classify them and draw insights. In 2024 the same job took a team of six weeks, with missed, duplicated and misclassified files.
