@zoe I think that's the most important topic. I mean, it would be one thing if this was an experimental thing that was only being used as a way to explore programming options, but there's guys out there pushing for this to replace all sorts of writing and communication. They're selling Lifelike Lie Machines as writers. That is going to hurt people.
Guys, you say? Don't worry, it's just major publications like National Geographic firing off all their writers, tech companies downsizing in the hopes that ChatGPT will code for free, a plague of nonsensical AI written books flooding the market under legitimate authors' names, and all of Hollywood hoping their writers will work for pennies out of desperation for food and shelter.
It doesn't matter that ChatGPT constantly gives wrong answers and has about as much personality as a bran muffin. With the dawn of AI, us humans don't need humans anymore.
Honestly, as long as they attribute the text to "ChatGPT" or similar, that'd be fine with me. I may or may not read it, but at least be transparent. And at least please deal with the repercussions of firing your staff for the hype.
Most people seem to be trying to pass off AI creations as their own judging by the exponential flood of AI trash websites, videos, books, news, etc. I've encountered people delusional enough to believe it really is their own artwork because they supplied the text prompt to Stable Diffusion. There's a long way to go before we see transparency.
I wouldn't even know how to begin holding people to transparency here. It's nice that it tends to be obvious when something is AI generated, but I'm sure the clock is ticking to the day no one can tell the difference.
