The Conversation U.S.

We asked 5 #ArtificialIntelligence researchers to discuss how large language models like #ChatGPT and #DALL-E are likely to affect artists and knowledge workers.

Our experts noted the technology is far from perfect, which raises a host of issues – from misinformation to plagiarism – that affect human workers, but it could also open up new work opportunities.

@TheConversationUS It must be imperfect by definition because it has been trained with patterns from our conversations. That's why they put filters in #chtgpt But not using it is like not using trains because they are imperfect. There is always a risk associated with the use of technology. But this could be a very short time to test it before monetary algorithms are applied to affect the outcome. I think that knowledge and continuous studies are the best to counteract the errors of such systems.

@edaross @TheConversationUS Thank you, Ed! You are right. I am always interested in strong and contrary positions and views. As truth has to be there in between.

@TheConversationUS CNN Is reporting ChatGPT passed the MBA exam for Wharton, though the professor admitted it was given hints at times. And it struggled with math!
