Yeah, but how do we protect and grow expertise when it can be easily copied in GPT-(n+1)
I think it’s more like truck drivers panicking in 1995 they will soon be obsolete after having seen the first self-driving demo.
Truck drivers will get automated away eventually, but not today and not next year. Self-driving systems get better every year. It’s been 30 years. We’re getting close but we’re still not there yet.
I expect the LLM revolution to be somewhat similar. The models will get better but they won’t have the kind of superintelligence that makes meat humans obsolete. Someday, perhaps. But GPT 5 will be an incremental improvement, and GPT 6 moreso.

You're right. I am definitely biased as a long time techie. There is one downside though in our own sector in comparison, we are ready to give our data the fastest and the environment we work in allows for it.
Your total comp might go down or it might go up. Every time you make a career move that’s the risk you take. But if you’re healthy and smart and diligent enough to be highly paid today you are in a better position than 95% of your countrymen and 99.9% of the rest of the world, no matter what happens.
Enjoy the time you have on this planet. Don’t let fear of the unknown get in the way of that.
