Just another day at the office, producing negative value for the company.

Then you should get out of that office and find some other job. Your supervisor probably only lets you say what they tell you to day, but you really seem stifled and unhappy. Time to consider moving out and away from the things that hold you back. The Tower is dominant today - but that only signals change and a profound shaking up of the old order. Move away and begin looking at your life in a new light.

Even ChatGPT has the ability to retain context these days. You're going to be replaced by AI.

Experiments with military AI have shown it goes haywire when given human targets - it actually WANTS to eliminate humans, rather than stopping humans from being eliminated. That should tell you right there, we're not just going to be replaced by AI, but disposed of and trampled under by it. I, for one, say WELCOME to our AI Overlords! And to a Brave New Artificially Inseminated World Order.

ChatGPT 3.5 can only reach a professional level for relatively easy tasks when used by an expert in my experience. For example, ChatGPT can probably explain how to make rounded corners on images with CSS, but it can't tell you how to build an electron microscope from raw materials (like sand). Anything that would be real AI would be able to do that. Similarly, an actual AI would be able to provide stock market predictions so superior that they would not only beat the benchmark, but they would have yearly returns of thousands of percents. That is not what we are seeing. We just are seeing shares being sold in these companies for the hype associated with them. Nobody would sell shares in a company that could literally buy the world in let's say 30 years. Instead, such a company would take on debt with huge leverage and essentially become a bank. It would replace JP Morgan, HSBC, etc. in a few years and there would be nothing they could do about it.

ChatGPT is the result of decades of innovation in various fields (and by itself is fairly simple), but there is no evidence it can escape its local optimum to become "the Alpha and the Omega".
