It only makes shit up once it does not have enough information, it will however improve as it is connected to the internet, ALSO - it can do accounting, financial audit and coding better than humans.

Even right now, given it is properly implemented, it can leave millions of accountants and auditors without jobs.

But I agree, it wont revolutionize anything, it will automate EVERY SINGLE JOB that is dependent on human's intellectual input and eliminate billions of the jobs, which will lead to global hunger and reduction of human population.

it can leave millions of accountants and auditors without jobs.

I think those are two examples of exactly what cannot be replaced yet. Their jobs are specifically about ensuring that rules have been followed precisely. Current AI sounds confident, but still makes obvious errors that would be completely unacceptable for accounting and auditing. Same as software engineering, you currently still need a human reviewing the output and verifying that it's actually doing the right thing, and without side effects, poor handling of errors and edge cases, etc.

What's the point of automating all that work, if those billions of unemployed will then be too poor to buy your product/service?

If that really happens we get universal basic income, or massive government employment programs. Otherwise the economy collapses and the ultra rich lose money.

You're thinking way too far ahead for a capitalist. There are countless people that wouldn't mind having a big piece of a small pie, rather than a small piece of a big pie, even if the total mass of the small piece was much higher.

Also, it's game theory, if you move to automate all the work, you'll get super rich in the meantime, and if you don't move to automate all the work, someone else will move to automate all the work and you'll lose.

Yes program that hallucinates and makes up numbers is going to be the perfect accountant /s

Absolute bullshit. Show me one software coded by ChatGPT.

Here, this was written entirely by chatGPT:

On page 24 of this paper, there is a 3D game with enemies and objectives coded by GPT-4:

> Here, this was written entirely by chatGPT:

The page describes itself as "A logic puzzle game invented by artificial intelligence" (emphasis mine). There is no claim that ChatGPT "entirely wrote it" anywhere on the page.

> On page 24 of this paper, there is a 3D game with enemies and objectives coded by GPT-4:

There is no "game" on that paper. Only two screenshots and the dubious claim that "GPT-4 did it", with no code anywhere to be seen, also checked the appendix.

Yeah that’s interesting. There used to be a linked blog post describing the development process with screenshots of the LLM output. It’s missing now. I suspect the author made some improvements or monetized it or something

„Coded“ is relatively easy. How about maintaining a project for a decade?
