For now, it is just an essential AI tool. Imagine what it will look like after 5 years or 10 years? It can replace humans in the near coming future if it continues to progress in this manner.
ChatGPT is one of the best examples of that. OpenAI recently launched one more AI tool, Open AI Codex, based on coding. You have to give a command to make a website; this AI tool will give you adequately optimized code. So how far can this AI take us? What are your views on the future of AI?
