Chat GPT is a large Language Learning Model developed by the company Open AI. It has grown by leaps and bounds over the past year plus and really has become a leader in the AI industry. Chat GPT can create responses in a chat/messaging format to user created prompts. These responses are generated from a massive data set that was fed into the LLM. While these responses seem very human-like, they are created using predictive algorithms that are not too dissimilar to what an iPad uses to generate predictive text responses above the keyboard while typing or what gMail creates while crafting an email. These responses can be wrong and they can also create what are known as hallucinations or made up responses. This forces users to be very discerning when using anything that was created by this chat bot.
My largest concern about this tool's use is the ethical use of it. As it grows (they just released Sora, a text prompting tool that creates hyper-realistic fake videos off of user prompt) we have to really think about the whens, whys, and hows that this gets used. It will require people to be more informed about not only AI tools and their uses but also just overall informed as citizens so you can be better equipped to know when you are not seeing truthful or accurate info. This is scary when you consider the context of American society in its current state. Many will believe anything if it comes from someone they follow or respect.
