ChatGPT

Wow, what a way for whoever writes the algorithms to put a slant on all conversations. Sounds like something "Big Brother" would instigate.
 
Been playing with this for about a month, it is pretty incredible. Need an invitation written - done. Want to punch up a for sale listing - easy. Need your term paper written - yep. Want a synopsis on just about anything you could imagine, done in 10 seconds.
Plenty of great applications, but plenty of nefarious uses as well maybe.
 
This is next level AI and has the potential to be a game changer on so many levels it is unimaginable.
 
There are videos out there for AI stock trading. Haven't watched any but apparently they are doing it
 
I am old enough that I will not have to deal with that technology in my workplace because I'm retired but those that are going to be around a long time are going to see the down-side to this. The chance that large corporations, governments and powerful people will not use this for nefarious purposes is almost nil. It is guaranteed that the common person will be negatively impacted by this in a not so kind way.

We know that in China the common person was instructed to rat on their neighbor if they left their house during the lock-down for COVID. The persons that were ratted on, whether it was true or not, were punished. Sometimes to the point of beatings. Imagine, if the government didn't need anyone to rat on you for thinking ill thoughts or breaking rules, but only had to look at a computer screen showing all the rule breakers, their home addresses and what your Lat and Long is at that particular moment. Scary, uncomfortable to me.

When our government starts employing that, you can bet that the politicians will be exempt from that scrutiny.

You can bet that the big-time criminals are following this closely and try to figure out their uses for it.

Our system spits out Excel reports with the date in Line 1, Then Headers in Lines 2 and 3, but in separate cells not wrapped.

I just tried the "free" version to write an Excel Macro to append the data in the cells of Row three to the cells in Row 2, then delete Row three.

It failed.... :-(

There would be a world revolution before that would be allowed or I hope there would be. I would hope that people with real freedom would stop that way before it could become a reality. The Chinese pretty much accept this because that is ll they have ever known, but the rest of the world? Hopefully not.

I agree, that we "hope" that people would not let that happen. Until a couple years ago, I would have never thought there would be queer cross-dressers, performing in public funded grade schools, yet, it happened and is probably still happening.

The "free" people are being cooked like a frog in boiling water. By the time they figure it out, it will be too late.
