I'm not at a big tech company, and we don't sell algorithms, but my team does use a lot of NLP stuff in internal algorithms. The only panic I have is trying to keep up and take the time to learn the new stuff. If anything, things like GPT-4 are going to make my team 10x more successful without having to hire an army of PhDs.

The PhD army will rise up against us one day... as soon as they are finish their TA appointments.
What does your team do? It feels like GPT4 can handle any task out there. Only drawback is latency and cost.
The price isn't even that bad, even the most expensive at 6cents per 1k tokens, it won't cost me much. It's the context size that's amazing. Gone are the days of only being able to pass ~500 tokens into something like BERT.
