As a writer, I’m terrified by ChatGPT. I, of course, fear it could replace me. But I’ve managed to get past that fear and continue to get up in the mornings by telling myself that, firstly, the information the tool gathers from the internet must at some point have been written by someone (a person and a writer) and, secondly, no matter how accurate it is, the tool can’t give an opinion in the way a proper human can. Its opinions will be derived from somebody else’s opinions.
To be honest, I’ve tried to pretend that ChatGPT doesn’t exist, but sticking one’s head in the sand is never a productive strategy, so I decided to be brave and check it out.
