Perhaps you remember, but not too long after ChatGPT was first released to the public, I asked the large language model to do my job. Since then, I’ve spent a lot of time toying with GPT, and, as of this spring, Microsoft’s OpenAI-powered Bing search engine.
I’ve been asking the same questions everyone else has: Whose jobs might get replaced? How can I use A.I. to be more efficient, or get better at what I do? I think I’m generally more excited about what A.I. models are quickly becoming capable of than many of my peers. But it’s also extraordinarily frightening: An A.I.-generated picture of the Pope went viral. A German magazine published an irresponsible, fake interview of Formula 1 world champion driver Michael Schumacher. A new song, seemingly from Drake but fabricated out of thin air, is raising all sorts of questions about the rights we have to our own voices.
