Of course the most nauseating part is hearing all of the "senior" do-nothing dead weight morons at the office walking around (always with cup of coffee in hand) espousing how ChatGPT is going to revolutionize the workspace. They don't really know what it is, but they know it's sustainable, inclusive and damn sure encourages diversity.

Things like ChatGPT getting visibility is important for the normies to really start grasping that most of the internet is fake and prepare them for realizing that what they have been led to believe is the majority is simply not real. Much of the perceived leftist extremist bias comes from people interacting with fake users online.
ChatGPT is handy, but even it’s the paid version is unable to handle sorting out a single PO written out with imperfect formatting to being a neatly formatted list at my husband’s job…. Even with good detail prompts, the dang thing wants to be creative when it shouldn’t be, a quirk of what makes it sound conversational I suspect.
The work people are worried about AI taking are either things we wouldn’t usually do (because it wasn’t worth the effort monetarily before) or things that have already been outsourced to India and such for years.
It's going to completely change how lawyers and copy writers work. The majority of legal/clerical work is about following pretty precisely prescribed rules and formats, which is what this infant quasi-AI is best at.
The biggest changes are going to come not from jobs lost (for the reasons you describe), but jobs transformed. Meanwhile, each use is data that can be used to hone and progress the algorithms. By the time drone tech is small, stable, and cheap enough, AI will be perfectly capable of taking care of warehouses with light human oversight.
That's when you're going to start seeing job losses in actually scary numbers. The AI will probably get there well before the hardware arrives, but we're probably only about 3 or so decades away.
