If you're going to use it for anything where accuracy is important, you're going to need a human in the loop, verifying each thing ChatGPT comes up with. That means it isn't going to replace nearly as much as you seem to believe (or, unfortunately, that it will replace people, but not for very long), because it isn't going to meaningfully increase productivity in any application which requires accuracy.

Having a human in the loop doesn't mean nobody is replaced.

If I have a job that requires 20 people to respond to emails all day, I can have AI do the job with 1 person in the loop. That's 19 people replaced.

The other thing you need to think about is basically the trendline. Sure the AI requires humans in the loop now, but will it in the future? Just 1 year back a tool like chatGPT didn't exist. Now it exists. What's the next year going to bring? Most likely a tool Better than chatGPT. If "better" keeps happening every year, inevitably there will be a point where the AI doesn't need a human in the loop.
