Does that means the world of chemists will be eaten by LLMs? Will LLMs just improve chemists output or productivity? I'd be scared if this happened in my area of work.
It's increasingly looking like if you're young enough most knowledge work will be eaten by LLMs (or the thing that comes next) within your lifetime.
Hopefully we'll see human assisted with AI & induced demand for a good while, but the idea that people work unassisted in knowledge work is gonna go the way of artisan clothing
