While Chat GPT3's results were impressive, Terwiesch noted that Chat GPT3 “at times makes surprising mistakes in relatively simple calculations at the level of 6th grade Math.”

An MBA might need more than 6th grade math. Just a guess though.

Professor Christian Terwiesch, who authored the research paper "Would Chat GPT3 Get a Wharton MBA? A Prediction Based on Its Performance in the Operations Management Course," said that the bot scored between a B- and B on the exam.

The bot's score, Terwiesch wrote, shows its "remarkable ability to automate some of the skills of highly compensated knowledge workers in general and specifically the knowledge workers in the jobs held by MBA graduates including analysts, managers, and consultants."

Technology has been making white collar workers more efficient for decades and it’s true, the result is that we just do more and more. But somehow it also means more and more jobs to do more and more things.

My son put in prompts for potential essay questions he had for a mid term exam. He was given 8 prompts to study and would have to write live in-class on one of them.

The ChatGPT answers were REALLY crappy. He had the system re-write the the answer several times (you can click "re-write") and it just kept spitting out the same surface-level crap.
IF he had turned in any of this verbatim or an at-home essay he would have received about a D-. It very surface level stuff and it was also about 200 words total.

I get that it will improve but not until someone writes current stuff on all of those questions and uploads it to some corner of the internet. Not likely.

Once again, it is basically the first iteration. Wait until 10 years from now when it is much better. Kids in high school now are screwed.

No guarantee this will happen. Again, look at self-driving tech. Ten years ago, we were promised fleets of self-driving cars by 2018. Instead, the tech plateaued early and remains impractical. As with self-driving, society is also deeply wary of AI. It’s far more likely we’ll see regulation. It may not come from congress, but expect it from licensing boards, etc.

Can hear to say this re: self driving. There’s absolutely no logic to “well sure it sucks now but inevitably it will later blow our minds.”

Most ai evangelists should look at how Tesla autopilot “learns”…low paid workers manually labeling images coming in from cameras. So very advanced! /s

They are constantly hiring for this role

It's difficult to say exactly how many jobs in the DC area can be automated out to AI like ChatGPT as it would depend on the specific tasks and responsibilities of each job, as well as the specific industry and field. However, there are several tasks that have the potential to be automated, such as:

- Data entry and record-keeping: tasks like scanning, data entry, and record keeping can be automated using AI-powered software.
- Customer service: AI models like ChatGPT can be trained to provide information and answer frequently asked questions, reducing the need for human customer service representatives.
- Fraud detection: AI models can be trained to identify patterns and anomalies in records that may indicate fraudulent activity.
- Content creation: AI models like ChatGPT can be trained to generate written content, such as news articles, reports, and social media posts.
- Routine decision-making: AI models can be trained to automate routine decision-making tasks such as credit scoring and medical diagnosis.

It's worth noting that automating certain tasks does not necessarily mean that all jobs in the DC area will be eliminated, as there are other tasks that humans are still better at performing, such as problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, and decision-making under uncertainty. Automation is likely to change the nature of jobs rather than eliminate them.

That is more informative and articulate than 50% of the usual posters here, so it is getting close.
