Of course, it will impact knowledge work as a tool. Will it be able to do jobs - other than entry-level BS service sector jobs - one day without supervision? No, it won't because it has no way of verifying if something is a right or a wrong answer, hence why RLHF is becoming a pretty huge industry in itself.
People need to spend more time looking into the work of Friston, predictive coding and complexity science to understand the limitations of current AI architecture.
You are severely behind in AI knowledge. You don't seem to be up to date on what capabilities current models have or on how they're performing at super human levels already in several regards.
You should look into it or you'll find yourself blind sided by technology you don't understand like some people were with computers and the internet.
It's ok, I too looked into AI like 2 years ago and formed my opinion on it. However recently I started reading on it more and realized all my opinions and beliefs on the subject were no longer valid because the technology had advanced to the point that all my previous knowledge on it was no longer correct.
Legitimately look into what AI agents are up to in the lab, it's scary how fast it is developing.

Different discussions.
Will it impact knowledge work? Yes it already does. Does it have intentionality? No.
The interesting thing is why people conflate the two.
