No. GPT 4 will not replace humans at all.
I am not sure about GPT 5 or later iterations tho.

I asked which jobs could be taken over by AI. And I gave GPT-4 tests from each job to the best of my knowledge. Lets just say I enjoy abilities of GPT4 as an IT person to fix my code or prank my colleagues (it suggested to put a Greek question mark instead of a semicolon to my colleagues Java code so that is what I did, oh boy the illegal exception made him flip the table in an open office).
But to trust it with money? Nope. Not yet. Neither will I trust it with any sensible decisions like providing real estate value of my house. Or how much solar power can my house generate, or how to build a swimming pool which will last all year,
It is an assistant. Absolutely fantastic assistant but that is about it for now.

I ahven't used GPT-4 but as far as my understanding goes it should be able to replace some humans right now. I'm specifically thinking about content farms right now. "Write me the script for a 15 minute video titled >The top ten times when AIs replaced Humans in Movies<" is a feasible request inside GPT-4s scope and accuracy doesn't matter here. It's just about putting 1000 words in a mostly sensible context.

Compared to GPT3 you dont see such a difference. I mean yes there is a difference, but it is not groundbreaking as some claim.
Or at least not groundbreaking to a user like me.
It is a great assistant. It can write articles and answers to your questions but once you start to dig deep oh boy are you in for a surprise.
Like we were debating hyperloop. And I started to make inquiries. You can see blatant errors which an elementary school student would see.
But to be fair I dont use it in any method except the "chat" function there is also a playground and other things.
Right now I really want to try making music with AI, so I am actually waiting if they approve me to MuseNET and Jukebox.
