Need to know that the facts exist in the first place, though.
GPT-4 is already at a level that it has graduate level math and physics knowledge, with a level of recall that most students can only dream of.
Do those actually matter in jobs? Most valuable facts I encounter are far more niche, often in someone's head and not written down, only stored privately somewhere etc.
What kind of job is only focused on fact retrieval?

My bigget blocker in web development is fact retrieval. As someone who only dabbles, I don't struggle with how to logically design my project, but I'm constantly forgetting CSS and JS details like how to accomplish a specific task with CSS flexbox or how to sort an array in JS vs in Python. On old personal projects, I forget the names of my own functions and whether they return a list or a dict. Hell, I'll forget function signatures for functions I just wrote. I forget external library and API details. If I had perfect recall, I would 100x my web dev productivity.
