No kidding. I worked for a while at a startup focused on creating robots that can do a fairly difficult, human involved industrial task. The software in question used existing robotic arms and attempted to automate the work.
The challenges associated with that project were some of the hairiest things I've seen in my career, and they still don't really have it working last I heard. If GPT-4 can even _help_ write a system like that in six months, I'll eat my hat.
Seriously, if by 8/21/23 you can demonstrate a robot perform a task that previously took a human to do, which is currently outside the mainstream scope of automation, using code that an LLM wrote, please email me a video to the address in my profile and I will record a video of myself eating my favorite hat. Subject to terms and conditions, etc.
