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](https://podcastmastery.coach)
 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!](https://www.techradar.com/ai-platforms-assistants/chatgpt/chatgpt-users-are-not-happy-with-gpt-5-launch-as-thousands-take-to-reddit-claiming-the-new-upgrade-is-horrible)

[And Mike Elgan and Emily Forlini think it sucks too.](https://www.superintelligentpodcast.com/p/the-world-needs-phone-bans-boredom)
