It seems like with minor improvements, you could use this to significantly accelerate mundane parts of programming or writing. Human writes bulletpoints, neural net turns it into a program or letter, human corrects. There already was a pretty smart looking AI-based autocomplete shown on HN a couple weeks ago.

This will accelerate development. Is the current version there? Probably not. But GPT-4 might, and would then accelerate the development of future versions.

Even though this is not "magic", it sounds like it will turn into a practically usable and extremely valuable tool soon.

Being a speaker of Czech and English without a single dominant language, I use Google Translate to improve my writing. I will write a draft in the target language and feed Translate the other. It often comes up with improved style and more accurate expressions, especially in Czech. So as far as writing goes, we're already there.
