Assuming he's right (which is a big assumption, but much more interesting than calling BS), society is going to require some massive changes to carry on functioning. Imagine a world where all knowledge work can be replaced with a clever bot that actually gets things right. Entire industries will collapse. Things we value highly will become close to worthless (largely depending on how much OpenAI charges of course). It'll be so weird. The idea of never paying an accountant or a lawyer again is very appealing.

I am far from knowledgeable in this domain, so I defer to Chomsky et al. here [1].
