I would guess that a higher proportion of HNers have had a chance to work with GPT-4 than the general population has. Most people are still basing their takes about AI either on something like GPT-3, or just what they're hearing in the general media.

The point of the article I that there are a lot more people in jobs like Priya's who won't be able to quickly leverage AI for their own benefit than there are who will. We throw the word "disruptive" around a lot here. But that's exactly what these new AI tools will do to many people's lives. Their lives will be disrupted, and they have little cushion to fall back on.

I believe technical progress is inevitable, but a lot of people suffer on the path forward.
