What gives pause is that these applications are just starting. Some are less than a year old. Project yourself ahead just a few years. How long until bots are doing most of the work? Not that long. A single AI application will soon easily perform the research, calculations, analysis and problem solving that dozens β hundreds - of high-paid Harvard MBAs have been doing on Google and spreadsheets for years.
Firms like Goldman Sachs and UBS can not only save thousands of hours of time using AI but will be able to make better, more profitable decisions. Why hire a Harvard MBA when you can have a robot do the work in their place and do it better, round-the-clock and without the need to cut holiday bonus checks?

It's not going to happen because the kind of work an MBA does isn't meaningful anyway and they and their paymasters know it. If you were a CEO of a company and you wanted to minimise the cost of your bankers without affecting the work being done you didn't need AI to do it - you could just fire them all. No one does though because it was never about actual work, it's about jobs for the boys and intra-class social maneuvering, and until AI can own a house and be smug that it has more yachts than you then it's no fun to let AI do rich people work.

the fun part of being a high level banking exec is making a bunch of smug Harvard kids your bitches by forcing them to do minor edits on spreadsheets and slide decks at 4 am Sunday morning.

Eh, chatGPT let me avoid bringing in a team of consultants to draft a project plan, enough that I could take it and turn it into a full project plan in a couple of days and I got a promotion to lead and execute it. I didn't even hide that I used chatGPT for it, I straight up told my C suite and ended up with a ~30% raise lmao
We're even feeding a private instance of GPT all of our SOPs and system documentation to create a helpdesk. Hoping that works but if not then whatever.
Obviously if you use it to replace your own work rather than treat it like a gopher-intern, that will bite you in the butt.

I think that's partially Elons success strategy, that and being able to tell when engineers are bull-pooping you
