THAT is the scary part.
Imagine if you’re an expert at something and somebody tells you that “the AI” says you’re wrong. Who will they believe? Probably the AI as who can know more than the AI?
Go back 10 years and tell people this thing existed and they probably wouldn’t believe you. Now go back 2000 years and this is incomprehensible. IMHO yes, this easily has this potential, it is in its infancy now.
Just read something yesterday from a former Google engineer or something like that, maybe email developer, who said ChatGPT will pretty much make Google obsolete in very short order. There will come a time when people will ask, "Remember Google?". We are only just beginning the ride.
