Oh I completely agree, Chat GPT 3.5 is something to marvel at in some ways, but those who say they are using it every day to do their work for them...they are like the web3 hype train people, evangelical without objectivity.

And the fact we are training the model, nothing new there! Every single time we do a Google Captcha identifying cars (or words in the past) we have been training AI models.

For me, I am hopeful that the effort we are putting in training AI and into trying to remove AI "hallucinations" makes them more dependable and accurate in the future.

I suppose the question is "is AI more dependable than your average human for answers" and the scary thing is that for most subjects, that answer is probably yes. The second question is "should we depend on AI for answers" and for that the answer, as of today, should almost certainly be no!

And the tweet you shared...it is almost like a prophecy to me! For example I no longer have a sense of direction due to GPS and SatNavs, will I no longer have writing skills if I start using AI to write for me? Quite possibly.

More importantly does that mean that writing as a skill will become less valuable, and instead the ability to fact check and correct errors becomes the new role of writers...will everyone become an editor and a curator? This is where my brain power runs out and I realise I am not smart enough to answer these things lol! 💗
