As a software developer, you are going to use gpt 42 to develop software. You will probably write a lot less code manually, but it’s not a bad thing.

Perhaps, or maybe gpt models will reach AGI capabilities way before version 42, and able to fill every role in a corporation, from CEO and down.

If we assume one version every 12-24 months, GPT 42 would arrive some time between 2060 and 2100.

  • They’d still need Gpt or AGI specialists or any new type of engineers that would arise from that. One class of problems may be solved but it will certainly be replaced by a different one.

    • Exactly. I was discussing Joscha Bach's theories with a younger psychology student at a family event a couple of weeks ago. Turns out Bach's ideas from AI research are of his corriculum in his psychology training.

      Maybe a decade or two from now, they will hire psychologists to make sure the AGI's remain sane or at least safe, and not at all software developers.

    That’s assuming that corporation are all about delivering the product they sell, and that the "side effect" of social bounds it generates is insignificant.
