I think the people that have the most to fear from ChatGPT are at Google’s search team. Young people are turning more and more to ChatGPT because Google search results have gotten so bad.
Teachers should be responding to all this by giving kids more time to read books in class. No tech policies at schools are also a big help. With no phones, laptops, or iPads in schools, kids will he forced to talk to and engage with their peers instead of scrolling social media.
The one thing I’m really afraid of is that kids will lose the ability to write without technological help. Perhaps teachers need to move to more in-class, pencil-and-paper writing assignments instead of essays at home.
Depending on the subject, I'm less likely to get a bad hallucination than misleading advertisements and SEO pages full of AI garbage (or worse) anyway.
Everything AI tells me, I take with a grain of salt. I can look up further information on Google if need be, but I think largely AI has been easier, much faster, and better at just answering a simple question than Google.
What actor played this role? Interesting, what else were they in? Hey, what is the name of this object picture?
It even goes and does searches for you, evading at least the advertisements, and distills the results. I think it's at least as handy as Google search.
