Self-driving tech is heavily regulated and requires physical testing (sans Nvidia's new interesting approach of actually created a VR world to teach the AI), it's not remotely comparable. GPT is just another tool on the toolbelt, people that use it in a reliant way will get torched. It's no different than a regular search engine, it just compiles data instead of sitting in an index. Combined with a search engine, and knowledge, it's fine.
