Last night I was playing around with the new ChatGPT 5. I asked it to have a brainstorming session with me on my messaging for my Podcast Mastery coaching program.
Within 15 minutes it not only helped me hone my messaging but coded out a WordPress native block theme for me to use for a sales page. When it made a mistake it quickly fixed it and the theme worked beautifully.
This was really neat, but also very humbling.
There is still a need for professional Web designers and digital marketers, but ChatGPT 5 and the other AI engines are catching up and should be used to aid in the development of sites.
What I see happening in the future is the more thinking professions that take human intuition will be where people should focus. Coaching people and teaching.
The nuts and bolts jobs, I fear, might be going away. In some manner at least.
Update: Apparently most think the ChatGPT update sucks!
And Mike Elgan and Emily Forlini think it sucks too.
