If colleges stayed up to date, and teach valuable skills, the jump wouldn't be so steep!
Not perfect, but useful.
Utilitarism is the ruling moral philosophy, and the only possible countermeasure is externalities but that depends on an effective government which is even more unlikely that asking for ethical behavior to corporations.

My take is that this is a user experience improvement, given how little people actually goes on to read the thinking process.
The kind of apps that will be built in the next 5 years,are nowhere near what we have today.
Developers will need to update their skillset, though.
If I ask for a task, and the output is not the one expected: I ask for the motivation that lead to the bad decisions. Then, ChatGPT proceeds to retry the task "incorporating" my feedback, not answering my question!!
This sounds like searching for truth is a bad thing, but instead is what has triggered every philosophical enquiry in history.
