@KorraSaqqara Thank you, and I fully agree with you. The concern however is the fact that AI like everything else is open to abuse. One only needs to glimpse at the bird site many are currently migrating from and ponder the regulatory controls, if any that are being enforced to protect society from hate speech, racism, etc. At present, ChatGPT is out in the wild, and unregulated. When and should the FTC step in? Corp. indemnification is the only protection offered. #writers #authors
@KorraSaqqara At this point in time, ChatGPT may not (Thankfully) be able to replace an English class. However, a recent article in appearing Techcrunch poses some very interesting questions while simultaneously painting a dark picture of the future. I cannot help wonder if increasing public popularity results in continued refinements to ChatGPT to the extent that its output is indistinguishable from that of a living, breathing human being. #writers #teaching #authors #writingCommunity
@michael_greer Agreed. Now think back for a moment about all those Sci-Fi films over the past few decades that touched on AI. Appears that imagination has given way to a new and scary reality. The potential repercussions stemming from exponential growth in AI capabilities could possibly and or ultimately pose horrific consequences for people on a global scale. I already tried it & found that I could possibly produce a novel just by inputting a narrative. #writers #writing #authors
@stux Here is a little chuckle for you. So much for the one that affirms Elon's pronouns.
@SharonBergAuthor Cntd. (2).... Your publisher is most likely all set up to handle intl. distribution and marketing. Letting them take care of the business side of things is probably your best bet. Though you own the work with respect to Int. Property, you are still looking at importing a tangible good from another country and therefore subject to taxes and duties. Please check with CBSA in your province. Hope some of the above helps.
@SharonBergAuthor Cdn. Border Services Agency will provide you with precise legal info regarding exemptions for the importation of goods manufactured in the USA. Exemptions are available for goods valued at low nominal amounts as well as those deemed gifts. Self clearing is an alt. option but one that requires much legwork on your part, and again for small dollar amounts. Keep in mind that other fees such as brokerage fees, import taxes, sales taxes and custom duties may apply. Cntd....
@JohnShirley2023 WOW!!! Unique take on Lou Reed.. a nice edge to it. Somewhat reminiscent of Bowie's early days. Great work!!!!
@kimshum Build many friendships within this community. Proceed with conversations, lend an ear to someone who needs a friend, relax and enjoy a great tummy ache from non-stop laughter, etc. Now, if that bird site does implode..... Be greatful for no longer having to put up with all that negativity. Your sanity will return. You will stop dribbling your morning coffee all over yourself, and you shall walk around each day with a smile on your face. Cheers 🍻
