What most intrigues me about ChatGPT, etc isn’t nefarious actors weaponizing it, students cheating, human labour replaced, or even datasets being flooded with machine-generated language (tho this’ll all probably happen to an extent).
It’s that it drives *drafting* — used to create first attempts that are tweaked, revised, edited in ways that will feel like non-ML authorship.
But the starting point will have been different.
I wonder/worry about the value & feeling of human starting points.
