Any job focused on fact retrieval is at risk.
- RandomLensman 4y agoNeed to know that the facts exist in the first place, though.
- orbifold 4y agoGPT-4 is already at a level that it has graduate level math and physics knowledge, with a level of recall that most students can only dream of.
- RandomLensman 4y agoDo those actually matter in jobs? Most valuable facts I encounter are far more niche, often in someone's head and not written down, only stored privately somewhere etc.
- awesomeMilou 4y agoWhat kind of job is only focused on fact retrieval?

- istjohn 4y agoMy bigget blocker in web development is fact retrieval. As someone who only dabbles, I don't struggle with how to logically design my project, but I'm constantly forgetting CSS and JS details like how to accomplish a specific task with CSS flexbox or how to sort an array in JS vs in Python. On old personal projects, I forget the names of my own functions and whether they return a list or a dict. Hell, I'll forget function signatures for functions I just wrote. I forget external library and API details. If I had perfect recall, I would 100x my web dev productivity.
