This thing is really good, i see how AI taking over jobs is real, lawyers, doctors, coders are at risk, most white collar jobs and it’s happening so fast.
 
The ability to dump 32k tokens into a prompt (25,000 words) seems like it will drastically expand the reasoning capability and number of use cases.
A doctor can put an entire patient's medical history in the prompt, a lawyer an entire case history, etc.
As a professional...why not do this? There's a non-zero chance that it'll find something fairly basic that you missed and the cost is several cents. Even if it just phrases something obvious in a way that makes you think, it's well worth the effort for a multimillion dollar client.

If they further increase the context window, this thing becomes a Second Opinion machine. For pretty much any high level job. If you can put in ALL of the information relevant to a problem and it can algorithmically do reasoning, it's essentially a consultant that works for pennies per hour. And some tasks that professionals do could be replaced altogether.
 
I think GPT is good at fooling people also, because it will many times state some generated nonsense as fact.

Law, medicine and Software engineering all require facts, not possibly incorrect approximations. So unless they can get them to generate only facts, I don't see these generative language models replacing humans. But they can enable people in those fields to be more productive.

Can it predict which stocks will go up or down ? or the dollar rate movement

ChatGPT plugins

We’ve implemented initial support for plugins in ChatGPT. Plugins are tools designed specifically for language models with safety as a core principle, and help ChatGPT access up-to-date information, run computations, or use third-party services.

with the plugins system in place and a plugin that gives it access to historical data and current news i believe it can

You don't need facts you need a consultant who can point you in the right direction and give you a second opinion which you can explore all while verifying with the experts take for instance this guy who saved his dogs life, this is the perfect use of Chat GPT in the medical field, it's better than googling your symptoms.

Note though he needed a vet to verify the diagnosis. In my line of work chatgpt can be very helpful, but also very wrong in some cases even though it may give the answer authoritatively. A layman would thing it is always correct but an expert would recognize when it is wrong.

Fundamentally these generative models are approximation functions, they only approximate the correct answer. Useful tool but cannot be trusted 100%.

Do you trust google 100% or whatever you find on the internet, same principles apply
