I think realistically, it’ll be decades before people comfortable with GPT enter the workforce and actually make most of those jobs redundant. It’s like when the internet blew up and older managers had no clue what to do with it. They hired web developers and eventually, the web developers wrote things like Wordpress so the staff could edit the web site themselves.
And guess what happened? The web devs didn’t get laid off. Staff kept sending the web developers changes in Word documents for like a decade before a generation of young people comfortable with posting text on the web entered the workforce and actually wanted to do it themselves. (Even then, the web developers didn’t disappear but, instead, were freed to build more complicated things.)
So, basically, I think the concepts there are fine but that it’ll take a generation for businesses to fully take advantage of the new tech. Some firms will embrace it quickly but these things almost always take longer than technology enthusiasts assume.
