I'm not sure you're helping by referring to ChatGPT as "AI" when it's clearly not. Every couple of weeks I go back to try something new on it and almost invariably I get frustrated by its egregious inability to reason. (Today I started out asking it to write a sonnet about programming in the style of Shakespeare; after pointing out that it didn't scan the conversation devolved into an argument about what iambic pentameter is where it would, in the same response, quote the correct definition from Wikipedia and then give its own definition inconsistent with that, mostly reversing the stresses on the iambs but occasionally giving a yet-different-again incorrect definition. It was very good at apologising for its error before it spat out the exact same wrong definition again and again.)
I am pretty sure at this point we don't have to worry about what is essentially a super-duper Markov chain generator becoming sentient and taking over the world; I'm just hoping that won't cause people to ignore the very serious informational grey goo risk that these generative systems do pose.
