It's early days on the product applications, but the fundamental power is being able to find correlations and connections across a huge corpus and output a large variety of rough ideas that can then be selected and polished by humans. It doesn't replace human expertise and creativity, but it will chip away at the bottom where many jobs are essentially rote tasks with very little human-level judgement needed, and more apropos to the GP, it will provide an increasingly powerful assist to human experts who learn how to harness it.

Most jobs outside of mass produced SEO Buzzfeed garbage are not about generating large amounts of believable sounding prose. I could see it chipping away at the bottom rung of customer support, but that very quickly turns into work where real decisions have to be made and an 80% correct output is not acceptable. I'd be extremely surprised if any half serious company lets an LLM decide whether a refund should be processed or rejected, for example.
