It’s a shame I started using ChatGPT to summarize such articles: The author shares concerns about the impact of GPT-4 on jobs, specifically their friend Priya's job as a biomedical data curator. Priya, from a poor background in Uttar Pradesh, India, sends half of her salary home to support her parents. The author tested GPT-4 on a task Priya does daily and found that it could complete the task faster and more cost-effectively. They worry that Priya and others in similar positions could lose their jobs due to the efficiency of advanced AI like GPT-4. The author also fears for their own career in software engineering, questioning the long-term prospects due to AI advancements. They lament the potential negative economic impact of large language models like GPT-4, where a few wealthy individuals may profit while others, like Priya, lose their livelihoods.
