I was talking to a friend who is using ChatGPT in novel ways at his startup.

He is not a chemistry expert, but is now able to consume relevant chemistry papers that previously would have required a PhD.

He told me he "literally could not do this job without ChatGPT."

ChatGPT makes it 10-100x easier to slog through papers from a field you don't know.

Imagine having a friendly graduate-level instructor on literally any topic in the world come sit next to you to help you interpret any paper you're reading.
