My read on the current models (I have plus tier ChatGPT) is that it’ll do anything a competent undergrad can. That’s not Amodei’s “18 months to paradise” but a competent 20 year old research assistant is nothing to sneeze at.

Yeah I recently had a very bright high school student work as a research assistant for me in developing a syllabus for next year (basically, I'd point him to some things to read and summarize for me, with an eye to whether they touched on certain themes and arguments I wanted to make sure we cover in the class). He did a great job, but it was pretty clear to me that this is the kind of thing that it's actually much more sensible to use AI for. (In this case, the arrangement was as much for his sake as for mine.)
