This is just the smallest tip of the iceberg.
I've been working with gpt-4 since the week it came out, and I guarantee you that even if it never became any more advanced, it could already put at least 30% of the white collar workforce out of business.
The only reason it hasn't is because companies have barely started to comprehend what it can do.
Within 5 years the entire world will have been revolutionized by this technology. Jobs will evaporate faster than anyone is talking about.
If you're very smart, and you begin to use gpt-4 to write the tools that will replace you, then you MIGHT have 10 good years left in this economy before humans are all but obsolete.
If you're not staying up nights, scared shitless by what's coming, it's because you don't really understand what gpt-4 can do.
I'm a senior Linux sysadmin who's been following the evolution of AI over this past year just like you, and just like you I've been spending my days and nights tinkering with it non stop, and I have come to more or less the same conclusion as you have.
The downvotes are from people who haven't used the AI, and who are still in the Internet 1.0 mindset. How people still don't get just how revolutionary this technology is, is beyond me. But yeah, in a few years that'll be evident enough, time will show.
I feel sorry for these folks. They have no idea what's about to happen.

I quite agree.
And, from SirGolan ref :

Language Models Represent Space and Time
... (from the summary) ...Our analysis demonstrates that modern LLMs acquire structured knowledge about fundamental dimensions such as space and time, supporting the view that they learn not merely superficial statistics, but literal world models.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.02207
What makes it worse (in my opinion) is that LLMs are just one step in this development (which is exponential and not limited by human capabilities).
For example :
