the technology behind chatGPT is actually an inmediate threat to many jobs currently paying maybe billions today. If events unfold into the worst possible scenario, many internal processes currently in hands - literally - of humans working inside organizations, will probably be replaced by some chatGPT-like based auto-middleware, able to "translate" requests from one department to the rest of the deparments inside the organization, even external processes are in risk, just imagine you could replace almost all of the humans in charge of buying departments (the guys buying the coffe for the machine, the toilet paper, etc.).
Most of the automation hasn't been driven by trying "to save some money" but because now you can do some stuff in 5 hours, and with humans in the loop you do it in 5 days, hence the humans are showed the door as soon as possible, because the shareholders will for certainly demand to use any available technology to improve economic performance, or worst, if the very existence of the organizations depends on laying off as much people as you can replace with advanced chatGPT-like automation.
So beside the obvious cognitive bias of the author, there are some hard truths coming for us, everywhere.
