Murray Gell-Mann once asked his fellow physicists (it seems they were none other than Hawking and Hartle): "If you know the wave function of the universe, why aren’t you rich?"

He probably would have been eager to ask ChatGPT this one question, albeit slightly updated and rephrased.

For those inside IT body shops, who fear ChatGPT would automate them out of existence, I recommend to remember how once upon a time there was a significant turmoil about clerks who supposedly could have been left without means of existence after computers-driven automation of bureaucratic work in the paperless office medium.

Then came the genius, whose name is, sadly, lost in the abyss of history, and proposed a wonderful solution: just give every clerk a computer.
