JFC, people in tech are really out there saying that language models will be better at therapy, financial advice, and career advice than trained people.
WTF is wrong with you people? Do you really have no clue about what other people’s jobs actually involve?
Language models can’t even do maths how are they supposed to get good at financial advice?
And therapy? Just… 😑
What’s wrong with people in tech?
@baldur OK but what do you mean by "financial advice"? Like, the bulk of the "investment advisor" industry is absolutely clobbered by simple computer programs, and this has been true for many years, long before LLMs. (wealthfront is an example of this, there are others).
I mean, your point remains, I'm just saying.
With that said, though, I think there are some industries on the cusp of being seriously disrupted, labor-wise. For example, I'm a computer programmer, and while LLMs are nowhere near being able to do my job I could see myself getting several times more productive as the fussy parts of my job are automated. This either means a lot more software or a lot fewer programmers. (Probably both)
