    Right now it’s a good but limited tool if you know how to use it. But it can’t really do anything a professional in a given field can’t do already. Alhough it may be a bit quicker at certain task there is always a risk of errors sneaking in that can become a headache later.

    So right now I don’t think it’s a necessary tool. In the future I think it will become necessary, but at that point I don’t think it will require much skill to use anymore as it will be much better at both understanding and actually accomplishing what you want. Right now the skill in using GPT4 is mostly in being able to work around it’s limitations.

    Speculation time!

    I don’t think the point where it will be both necessary and easy to use will be far of tbh. I’m not talking about AGI or anything close to that, but I think all that is necessary for it to reach that point is a version of GPT4 that is consistent over long code generation, is able to better plan out it’s work and then follow that plan for a long time.
