What would you do with a team of hundreds of people who can instantly access an archive comprising the sum total of digitized human knowledge and use it to solve problems?

We have that now, it's called googling. you could easily hire 100 people to do that job, but you'd have to pay them at least $15/hr now on the US. Say equivalent gpt-3 servers cost a fraction of that. How do you make money with that resource?

Well, they can use it to write text. Not to solve problems directly.
