Open AI?
Given both the competitive landscape and the safety implications of large-scale models like GPT-4, this report contains no further details about the architecture (including model size), hardware, training compute, dataset construction, training method, or similar.
There are limits
It doesn’t really understand
It doesn’t really think - problem solving is a problem
It’s not great at maths, but it can write code
It’s over-confident
It does make things up

Shape of the future?
Seek out and utilise guidance on using generative Al for school communications, such as report writing and letter drafting … Adopting clear, well informed policies on Al use in administrative tasks, will ensure consistent and ethical application across individual schools or across a trust, whilst potentially improving efficiency and communication quality.

Post-scarcity jobs?
We are entering a post-scarcity world in some areas.
You have to be able to read and / or code well enough to put the AI generated pieces together.
