Google Translate, which IIRC is also a Transformer model like GPT these days, knows more natural languages than I can remember the names of, to a higher standard than I know my best non-native language, and I moved to Germany 5 years ago.
GPT-3 knows most programming languages better than I do, even though I literally learned to read with the Commodore 64 user manual back in the 80s and haven't stopped being a nerd since; and while GPT code isn't always correct or even compilable, it's not like I don't still make mistakes that cause compilation to fail a few times a day, and there's a reason we all insist on testing code rather than just assuming it will work when a dev stops typing.
Again, I acknowledge GPT-3.5 (and I assume 4 but have not used it) is not perfect: like others I'd call 3.5 a "junior developer" (and it isn't even that good in every subject!); yet, despite that, the only domains where I can regularly beat it at those where my perception of reality is fundamentally different from its perception (how words sound and how numbers are composed, so it's relatively bad at arithmetic and rhyme), or where it has been forced to be bad (ask it to write about conflict, my experience is everyone reconciles and lives happily ever after).
But in most cases it would take me years to get as good as it already is. And there are more of those subjects than I can remember the names of, too.
