I think the thing that this misses is that majority of work and activities doesn't require much intelligence, but they the foundation of careers, hobbies, and activities that provide people meaning and value. I have a friend that used ChatGPT to write a letter to his wife on their 15th anniversary. My son's using it to write emails to friends (hopefully not school work). It doesn't need to take over the world to replace the vast majority of average people's intellectual contributions.

My cousin recently used it to write a baby shower invitation to the extended family. I found it amusing, I was sure it was ChatGPT because it contained phrases such as 'our little miracle', 'this wonderful event', 'beloved family'. Phrases that he would never use in real life.
