OpenAI launched ChatGPT Agent on Thursday, its latest effort in the industry-wide pursuit to turn AI into a profitable enterprise—not just one that eats investors' billions. In its announcement blog, OpenAI says its Agent "can now do work for you using its own computer," but CEO Sam Altman warns that the rollout presents unpredictable risks.

OpenAI research lead Lisa Fulford told Wired that she used Agent to order "a lot of cupcakes," which took the tool about an hour, because she was very specific about the cupcakes.

In your opinion, what would LLM usage look like in thirty years? Would it's inefficiency be solved somehow? Would it's generalistic approach (even conditioned, e.g. culinary LLM trained on recipes), become better than existing specialized tools? Would LLM cease to be the 'natural' playground for big corporations alone as no private citizen can train a comparable model? Would it still persist as an unpredictable black box? Would there arrive and stay new professions dedicated to be AI operators, e.g. forming correct text queues to the LLM, designing them and probably even getting patents on them?

    Lots of questions. Any of which I could only provide a very opinionated answer on. But to answer the bulk of your response here, I think we look to sociologists to predict the future of AI integrating into the division of labor.

    Basically, the division of labor will become more organic and complex, less rigid and mechanical.

    (i.e. nobody was paying bills by walking the neighborhood dogs in 1920. As technology increases, the division of labor becomes more organic/less mechanical.)

    So with this Is say that "Software Developer" is not a job in the future, but that statement carries more weight than it should. The software developer of today will be invaluable as a technician working with AI. In this example "software developer" is a mechanical division of labor where something in the future might be like "Development Strategist" as a more organic division of labor. As to what that looks like, your guess is as good as mine.
