Seems like the current version of Chat GPT is like a "1.X" version of something that we've all experienced in the past... lots of potential, but still a lot of work to do. I've been in I.T. for almost 35 years and have seen a lot of cool technologies come and go. Clearly, this Machine Learning and A.I. stuff is here to stay. And I have to say that it's really been helpful to have Chat GPT help me do some fairly time consuming work tasks like - writing position descriptions, summarizing books and mental models, and writing some standard memos. The output that I'm getting is about 70-80% of what I need. As it improves, I think we'll come to a crossroads that threatens current paradigms like the 40-hour work week. And how many current careers paths will eventually become obsolete is hard to say. I can't help but think mixing/mastering engineering, programming, and inpatient medical services will be among those things that this technology is able to do very proficiently in the next few years.
