Yeah don't get me wrong it's very impressive what you can do in the imaginary virtual system, but this isn't semantics. I subscribe to the philosophy that emulation doesn't have to involve computation but chatgpt is far too inconsistent to NOT clarify the distinction.

It can imitate an operating system, but that's all it is, an imitation. It's very impressive but it's a hallucination.

Speaking from somebody in the field, if AI was as good at programming as OP thinks it is we would be ecstatic. So much of our field is made up of web based hack jobs to cobble together technology that was never intended to work together, and it constantly changes so no "fix" is permanent. If there was something capable of automating all of that googling and deciphering undocumented, horrible APIs we would have the time and incentive to actually work on cool shit.

If it was so advanced that any human direction was a hindrance virtually every other white collar job would already be obsolete.

You speak too confidently on what you don't know. It's fine to speculate on potential advancements but something like this

>All jobs that basically involves shuffling bits around (3D artists, programmers, musicians etc) are effectively dead within 5 years.

tells me you have no idea what you're talking about.

It should be pretty good with foundational concepts because of how much information exists on the internet, but you still need to be careful. The biggest roadblock is learning proper terminology. As problems become more and more complex you need to start using very specific, organized, technical language in order fot the bot to understand what you want.

You don't even need to be post scarcity for capitalism to break down, just post competition. When an organization is beyond competition it becomes a monopoly and begins draining productivity through inflated prices.

The owners of the hardware will have complete control over whatever industries they decide to pursue.

Capitalism excels at driving human innovation. As cruel as it can be as an unregulated system, it has undoubtedly led to the dominance of nations who used it to its fullest. There is no better incentive to produce than fear of being left behind.

But what happens when the majority of innovation starts coming from machines? We're already seeing glimpses of it in the form of cloud services like AWS and Azure being a necessity to participate in the digital business sector. Once AI's start outperforming humans in most of our industries there will truly be no competition. Just monopolies in the form of hardware ownership.

Be careful learning with gpt because it will VERY CONFIDENTLY be wrong. It's honestly sociopathic how convincing it is.

Oh no I literally meant, "did GPT write that comment?". It sounded very AI like.

My AI paranoia is setting in.

Did GPT write this?

This has been my experience as well. It's like having my own personal senior dev with occasional schizophrenic episodes.

Frontend developer and ChatGTP has been a great tool to have on hand. It's really good for bouncing ideas off of and asking common questions that would otherwise require me to huntdown a good stackoverflow thread or medium article. I would be willing to pay for api requests after the free trial is over.
