Please chatGPT, write an OS, a spreadsheet and a word processor. Bug free btw. Now Microsoft has no business ? People realize it’s not that easy right ?


ChatGPT can do all of those things the same way it responds to prompts: by stealing the answers from other people.

If ChatGPT weren't just remixing and regurgitating billions of hours of work by other people, it would be unimpressive.


Actually this AI should be called « synthesized work of human intelligence ». Because that’s all that it is. It’s created by us, feed by our intelligence and knowledge and is « usable » by our specie only and has no meaning by itself. So it’s just like any other powerful tool, if should be regulated asap.


While I am not worried about my situation (and I expect most HN readers will not be either) anyone familiar with the types of corporate thinking behind business process re-engineering or digital transformation will see the streamlining and redesign potential coming online near term.. Couple that with the long term shifts in work patterns accelerated by the pandemic and with the shifts in capital markets that are starting now and will play out over the likely deployments of the next few generations of generative model based systems and there seems to be a lot of downsizing potential throughout large sectors of current business employment.


What do you do for work?
