I should spend more time getting GPT-4 to tell me how to manage my professional life. I'm guessing it would do an above average job, although not a 'world changing' job

Humans have two major flaws when it comes to knowledge work, including most management.
1) Lack of knowledge and experience when a person has not yet done or been involved in something.
2) Getting tired/lazy/sloppy and submitting work that's incomplete or deficient.
AIs will be much better at both functions, due to the nature of machines (don't get tired, don't forget, can "learn" new information rapidly). Humans are much better at other things, and will be for the foreseeable future, such as planning, evaluating work, and human interactions.
That many human jobs, including a LOT of middle management and even upper management and especially consultants, involve repeatedly saying the same boilerplate things known to be true is a great reason to think AI can replace or substitute for a lot of it. Consider a labor attorney that just repeats the same basic instructions about Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Family Medical Leave Act, and the Fair Labor Standards Act. Four major federal laws in the US that cover about 90% of what a labor attorney does. You'd still want attorneys around for the other stuff, but could get a lot of ground covered with a pretty dumb AI bot that can repeat things already known.
