There are going to be way fewer entry-level investment bankers and management consultants. Would imagine PowerPoint is not far off.
This brings up a very interesting relationship shift. Previously, people needed to know the instructions to do certain things. Now, people need to understand the outcomes, to receive the instructions.
Isn't the hard part still knowing exactly what you want or need? Won't the ~boss still want to delegate thinking that through? This and the SQL example feel more like the latest version of the cybernetic implant hiding behind the "advanced googling" skill on someone's resume.
I don’t think it’s limited to bankers/consultants. I feel like junior swe and designers could be replaced very soon as well (really any entry level job) wouldn’t be surprised to see gpt-4 building full prototypes and features
This would be such a great tool for learning how to program, use apps, solve maths problems, etc, but the question then becomes 'why bother?', just get the bot to do it. I've no idea if this good or bad, will the human race become collectively dumber?

I’d see the stacks of middle managers shrink. Consultants will find gigs designing the algos and guiding the org transformations.
