![]() I would not say that this had any influence on their decision, but I do know that before we parted I was made happy by the promise that if any one was commissioned to make the trip, I should be that one.Īfter I had made my arrangements to go, other important projects for gathering news came up, and this rather visionary idea was put aside for a while. "Very well," I said angrily, "Start the man, and I'll start the same day for some other newspaper and beat him." Besides you speak nothing but English, so there is no use talking about it no one but a man can do this." "In the first place you are a woman and would need a protector, and even if it were possible for you to travel alone you would need to carry so much baggage that it would detain you in making rapid changes. ![]() "It is impossible for you to do it," was the terrible verdict. However he offered me the consolation that he would favor my going, and then we went to talk with the business manager about it. To my dismay he told me that in the office they had thought of this same idea before and the intention was to send a man. ![]() I think I can beat Phileas Fogg's record. "I want to go around in eighty days or less. "Well?" he said, inquiringly looking up with a faint smile in his kind eyes. He sat toying with his pens, waiting for me to continue, so I blurted out: "Have you any ideas?" he asked, as I sat down by his desk. I was afraid that he would think the idea too wild and visionary. I approached my editor rather timidly on the subject. Anxiously I sat down and went over them and if I had found the elixir of life I should not have felt better than I did when I conceived a hope that a tour of the world might be made in even less than eighty days. I went to a steamship company's office that day and made a selection of time tables. Then I wondered if it were possible to do the trip eighty days and afterwards I went easily off to sleep with the determination to know before I saw my bed again if Phileas Fogg's record could be broken. The idea of a trip around the world pleased me and I added: "If I could do it as quickly as Phileas Fogg did, I should go." It is easy to see how one thought followed another. "And why not?" the thought came: "I need a vacation why not take a trip around the world?" "I wish I was at the other end of the earth!" At last tired and provoked at my slowness in finding a subject, something for the week's work, I thought fretfully: But ideas did not come that day and three o'clock in the morning found me weary and with an aching head tossing about in my bed. It was my custom to think up ideas on Sunday and lay them before my editor for his approval or disapproval on Monday. I had spent a greater part of the day and half the night vainly trying to fasten on some idea for a newspaper article. Ideas are the chief stock in trade of newspaper writers and generally they are the scarcest stock in market, but they do come occasionally, It is sometimes difficult to tell exactly what gives birth to an idea. Despite this, ChatGPT and other generative AI tools have the potential to shake up the financial services industry, from investment decisions to customer service automation.Īrgenti declined to specify which products Goldman Sachs has been using or which bank division is utilizing the technology.A Celebration of Women Writers Nellie Bly's Book: Meanwhile, some banking giants like JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Bank of America have reportedly restricted staff from using ChatGPT and similar products. Generative AI products produce human-like text or images in response to written prompts from users. However, the technology is currently in the proof-of-concept stage and not yet ready for production. Last week, Goldman Sachs' Chief Information Officer, Marco Argenti, told CNBC that the company's software engineers have been experimenting with generative AI tools to automatically generate lines of code. Goldman Sachs experimenting with ChatGPT-style A.I. In the US, generative AI is expected to raise annual labor productivity growth by just under 1.5 percentage points over a 10-year period. Although the size of AI’s impact will ultimately depend on its capability and adoption timeline, both remain uncertain at this point. However, only about 5% of occupations could be fully automated by currently demonstrated technologies. ![]() The research also shows that AI will impact roughly half of the activities people do across all sectors, and nearly all occupations will be affected by automation.
