Artificial intelligence plays a growing part in our lives, especially now that there is ChatGPT and other LLM's (large language models) like it. They scan the internet to produce text per the instructions you give it.
But remember . . the report it gives you is not creative thinking, and it's not the carefully considered opinion of a human or any sentient being. It's the "rearranging [of] words according to various probabilities." We shouldn't give it the deference, the respect we might give a counsellor or teacher or friend or any human person whom we trust.
So we have a situation on our hands. Somehow we'll have to learn how to distinguish the work of a thoughtful and responsible human being as opposed to the work of AI. There's already a program now which does that, as I learned from a reader's comment.
ZeroGPT was created by (surprise!) a college student majoring in computer science to tell you if something was written by AI.
Within a week of launch last January, 30,000 people tried it . As he said on Twitter (now called X), "We deserve to know!" Yes, we do.
