Next week is my last week of work at my job. I plan to be unemployed through at least September.
I've got a few projects scoped out for my lil sabbatical, but I'm also mulling a strong pivot into whatever lane is carved out thanks to ChatGPT/large language models. IMO the writing's on the wall that it might be the biggest disruptor this side of touchscreen phones & personal computers, so I want to get in on the ground floor for some job security. The problem is, I don’t know where/how to get in where I fit in.
@Secure Da Bag you seem like the person most in-tuned w/ the space so interested in what you have to say, but anyone with any opinion can weigh in.

My question is what are the skills required to meet employer needs when chatbots/AI become more mainstream in 1-2 years?

Azure OpenAI seems like the tool that will be pushed to companies, so should I jump into Azure in general, should I get some
ML Certs from Microsoft, should I take some ML courses on Udemy, should I do all of the above, or am I barking up the wrong tree completely?
Open to any advice!
) as a consultant or something would be excellent. Laws lag behind technology but there is going to be A LOT of liability with AI. I don't expect lawyers to learn about the nuances either.
