I would like to see timeline predictions in articles like these. I agree completely that GPT can do 10-100% of most jobs I know about, but at the same time Python and UpWork have been around for a while too and I still know people who spend weeks manually reading through PDF files to extract the URLs, or copy-pasting the same line from hundreds of documents into a spreadsheet, etc.

Sometimes people under-estimate how 'unagile' most business is. Are we talking months, years, or decades before we see this "new class of dispossessed white-collar workers, who risk suffering a similar fate to that of manufacturing workers in the 1980s."
