> You need to know what competitors shipped, what research dropped, what patterns are emerging across 50+ sources continuously. Generic ChatGPT can't do that.

You're saying that a pattern recognition tool that can access the web can't do all of this better than a human? This is quintessentially what they're good at.

Sounds like another Markdown document—sorry, "skill"—to me.

It's interesting to see people praising this technology and enjoying this new "high-level" labor, without realizing that the goal of these companies is to replace all cognitive labor. I strongly doubt that they will actually succeed at that, and I don't even think they've managed to replace "low-level" labor, but pretending that some cognitive labor is safe in a world where they do succeed is wishful thinking.
