Which GPT will take my job? I would imagine it's only a year out, at the most.
Then what? I leave my tech job and go find menial labor?
Fuck our government for not laying down rules on this. I knew it would happen, but goddamn...

I can't imagine looking at the world and thinking we need more industry. Also, I know a lot of PhDs. Knowing a lot of things about a particular subject in know way correlates with intelligence.
So when it helps out with a recipe, we won't get a suggestion specifically for Elmer's, but rather the IUPAC name for superglue?
Would these even matter if it also randomly spits out nonsense they can’t figure out how to stop it from producing?
If AI was that capable then using human workers would eventually become cost prohibitive. If we're still stuck having to work to live under a capitalist system by then, there's gonna be serious problems. A post-labor economy doesn't need to charge for even a modestly comfortable standard of living, and the overwhelming majority of people will go looking for things to do no matter how many politicians swear otherwise.
More like kindergarten
I'm more interested if it can have empathy and give it something like a soul. Mostly so we don't get murdered.
