I'm already seeing some of my family members use ChatGPT in this way, even going so far as enjoying some level of companionship during research and decisions in their lives. I believe this product will have fantastic pricing power and can make the ChatGPT IPO look very attractive.
But I suspect that this will be one of those regulations written in blood.
At the top sits a SOTA model capable of seeing snapshots of what's happening and directing intent. Then smaller, more reactive models translate the intent down into actions, before coming to a purely deterministic layer that handles inverse kinematics.
Sorta like how I control my body. I usually don't think about my fingers going to every key as I type - I know what I want to type, then that signal goes to some autonomous "using a keyboard" system, which invokes my muscle memory, which actually moves my muscles.
And if I get burned while I do something, my actual thinking brain doesn't really have time to process it before I'm already moving away; because those smaller systems have much faster - but more rudimentary - feedback loops.
AI is eating AI now. The value of code has collapsed, while the value of the software industry overall has not increased. Could AI be the snake that eats its own tail in the long-term?
