According to a recent survey by a website that provides resume resources, countless workers use ChatGPT for pay raises and promotion.

A survey of 1,666 U.S. workers who spend the majority of their working day on a computer by ResumeTemplates.

Researchers reported that workers said ChatGPT helped them to be more productive (62%), complete tasks more quickly (64%), and reduce their stress levels (50%).

Workers also said that the AI generative tool enabled them to solve problems faster (49%), gain more knowledge and skills (46%), experience greater job satisfaction (43%), or achieve better results in projects (41%).

The tool also allows for more innovation (36%), job security (29%), greater team collaboration (31%), more recognition from supervisors and colleagues (19%).

Reinvesting Time in Company

Andrew Stoner, Executive Resume Writer at ResumeTemplates and Career Coach, told TechNewsWorld that employers are open to the idea. In some cases they even encourage it.

This is because employers are aware that it makes their employees more productive. According to the survey 56% of respondents stated that their employers knew about how much time ChatGPT was saving their employees.

ChatGPT also allows for a large amount of time to be reinvested in organizations. About 60% of employees reported that they reinvest some of the saved time with ChatGPT in company tasks. While 33% reinvest all the time.

Thomas Vick, Senior Regional Director for Illinois, Tennessee, Missouri, said: “In our research we’ve seen that generative AI can automate and reduce the need for tedious manual work.” Robert Half, is a global recruiting and staffing firm.

TechNewsWorld quoted him as saying: “With the extra time workers have, they can do more strategic thinking and solve problems. These are activities that businesses may consider to be of higher value.” Learning how to use these tools effectively and integrate them into your workflows will help you advance your career.

Stoner said that if employees can be more efficient using AI without creating ethical issues, it will become a requirement. “Employers are going to be looking for workers who can use technology and integrate it in their work.”

Transformative Impact on Workplace

Phoenix based Impact Health USAJosh Thompson, CEO and Founder of, a healthcare solutions platform, believes that AI can be used to improve productivity and boost professional growth. This survey highlights the potential of AI to play an important role in career development, he said.

Dev Nag added that modern AI like ChatGPT is a highly customized knowledge synthesizer. It’s not surprising workers have used it to get raises and promotions. QueryPalA chatbot for business.

“Since it came out, people have been using it to learn new skills — with an infinitely patient tutor, accelerate everyday tasks like analysis and content creation, think through strategic plans, do faster research and summarization than search engines can, write software faster, and even modulate their communication to a given audience — whether external customers or co-workers,” he told TechNewsWorld.

“These were all available to workers previously, but AI helps them do so much more quickly than ever before. And it’s not surprising their increased productivity results in raises and promotions.

He continued, “No one expects a worker in the information industry to do their job with pencil and paper any more.” “We recognize that all workers will use a computing device, and some of them will be better than others at using it.

He said: “We are moving towards an economy in which what is true for computing in general will be true specifically for AI.” “We expect all to use AI and increase the performance bar in line with that.” “To quote William Gibson: the future has already arrived; it’s not equally distributed.”

Perils of AI

“Information may be inaccurate.” He told TechNewsWorld that it could be copied. It’s vital to use tools that will mitigate these risks when using these solutions.

Users should avoid data leakage. Keaun Amani, the CEO and founder of OpenAI, warned: “There is no guarantee when using platforms such as OpenAI that information submitted will be confidential.” NeurosnapWilmington, Del.-based company specializing in software engineering and molecular biotechnology.

TechNewsWorld reported that he said it was important for users of such platforms to be careful about the sensitive data they share to avoid the risk of leakage. “But aside from that, I believe people should use all the tools available to them.”

Ethics Concerns

AI users may face some ethical issues. Nag explains that using AI to create content or analyze a scenario is not ethically wrong, but that this usage must be disclosed to the final recipient.

He said that they might expect that the worker will use their background to the fullest, that he or she has avoided copyrighted content, that s/he understands all the unspoken rules, and that s/he is familiar with the preferences of the company. These expectations can be broken when AI is used naively.

Ed Dodson is an instructor at Henry George School of Social Science New York City recommended that a person’s performance should be evaluated using multiple measures. These include interpersonal skills, problem solving ability, and creative ways to achieve desired outcomes.

“AI is useful if the use of it strengthens what a person knows and can do,” he said to TechNewsWorld. “If AI is being used to mask shortcomings, then these will be revealed under pressure and time constraints.”

David Inserra is a fellow at the Center for Free Expression and Technology. Cato InstituteThink tank in Washington, D.C., believes that AI is just another tool for improving a worker’s abilities, like other workplace tools.

He told TechNewsWorld that “the computer greatly enhanced the ability of workers in the workplace, and this didn’t make some workers unethical to use this benefit.” “Similarly if AI tools were used by workers to obtain better jobs or request a raise, it is not much different from using a friend or a job service who can help craft a good resume or perform a performance evaluation.”
