This does not mean that Chat GPT will transform the world for the better but will without a doubt come to define life in the 21st century. But for other computer scientists, AI specialists, and the generally unimpressed, Chap GPT is nothing more than a clever party trick. Chat GPT is not even close to artificial general intelligence, but merely a finely tuned and at times impressive mimic. Chat GPT is also rife with errors and is difficult to trust. A program that produces such inconsistent results is far more likely to be a flash in the pan than a technological revolution.

 “I think we have to be realistic that the number of different ways in which these systems could cause harm is quite large and that some of the specific harms are quite serious.”

“People might have made similar arguments about the printing press and other technologies, about broadcast technologies when they came along, that these things would somehow obliterate the truth. But it actually expanded the potential of people to express themselves.”
