That's too coarse of a choice. It's better than people at increasingly large number of distinct tasks. But it's not good enough to recursively self-improve just yet - though it is doing it indirectly: it's useful enough to aid researchers and businesses in creating next generation of models. So in a way, the recursion and resulting exponent are already there, we're just in such early stages that it looks like linear progress.

Thanks. Your nuanced version is better. In that version I can still ignore most of LinkedIn and Twitter and assume there will still be a need for people. Not just at OMGAD (OpenAI...) but at thousands of companies.
