Prediction
"I think we'll be at the point next year where you can not only use the system to sort of automate some business processes or fill these new products and services, but you can really say, I have this hugely important problem in my business. I will throw tons of compute at it if you can solve it. And the models will be able to go figure out things that teams of people on their own can't do." - Sam Altman
My Thoughts
This seems unlikely to me. AI these days is great at solving problems that have been solved before, or problems that are similar. But nothing the models can do now are things that teams of people can't do. What does it mean that the models will solve business problems? If they are doing novel work, then isn't that it for human jobs? If a model can solve business problems, it could do most white collar jobs.
