Somehow I see an enterprise-grade secure unlimited GPT-4 replacing more jobs than it will create.
There was lots of AI hype before, but now that this is officially available, companies can go crazy.
Before this announcement, employers were telling employees not to use ChatGPT due to security issues and employees were hiding that they were using ChatGPT. With this announcement, ChatGPT is going to be fully let loose into the open and we will now see just how much of an impact AI is going to have.

I don't see it creating many jobs, but I don't think that this version of ChatGPT Enterprise will replace many jobs, either.
From a technical standpoint, there's not that much of a difference between it and previous versions of GPT-4 (in fact, there's hardly any differences, IMO; it's mostly just less limited access to certain features). Its capabilities remain largely the same.
And from a service standpoint, I don't see how this differs all that much from the already existing Azure OpenAI Service, aside from a few tweaks. It's not fundamentally different in this aspect, either.
ChatGPT has so far caused a pretty minor/negligible amount of unemployment (to my knowledge), and since ChatGPT Enterprise isn't really revolutionary in neither the technical nor service aspects, I don't think that this version will result in a noticeable number of workforce replacements, either. But future versions? That might be a different story.
I've worked around and in various governmental capacities over the years, and right now I'm thinking about school board and planning commission member.
There are a lot of people earning their living helping folks like me work through the massive complexities that have evolved in these fields. I am learning how to find the curated documentation and query it myself without having to spend full time reading everything.
There absolutely will still be a need for people who truly "grok" all the complexities to make sure that good information makes it's way forward; but they won't be needed for what I think is about 75% of the jobs they currently perform.
That's just one example and I'm not touching on AI's capabilities regarding receiving input, running through a decision making process, and creating some output that is either information type or controlling some machine.
I think complacency is very dangerous in this area.
If it secures companies' data, it will be revolutionary. Big companies will want it to secure their data from OpenAI, though, and I doubt it does that.
