As a rule of thumb, if it can already be programmed, it has nothing to do with intelligence. The consulting work I do can be automated. It takes is me and my robot intern. My daily tasks are writing SQL and DAX, or coding or querying for those--like me-- who are clueless about DAX or SQL.
To solve most of my work problems, I write prompts, programming my robot to write my SQL scripts. It takes 20% of effort, delivering 80% of results. That's corporate consulting. It took half a decade of working with enterprise software to consider myself an engineer of it. I now venture off to my new career as a writer.
Most of my job right now is sequencing words correctly to manage client expectations, buy time, and solve problem one keystroke at a time. I used to tell people I'm a consultant, or data engineer, or software engineer. And so on. I'm a writer. It's time I escape consulting and get paid for doing nothing.
Chatbots are a reasonable continuation of words that writes after seeing what people have written. The only problems that GPT interests herself are those brought to her by me, and she works on all problems with equal energy and interest, insensitive to quality and scale. GPT is the name of my virtual intern, who knows more SQL than I could hope. Is that what Turing meant with intelligence?
