I told my family about this today, just saying what it's been demonstrating, capabilities, etc. and my 12 year old daughter got distressed. She said if it can write code then eventually it can control things, and if it can make up stories and articles that sound true people will lose jobs and not know what is really true. She's totally right, but I down played it, so she wouldn't be so worried.... I then privately asked chatgtp what it thought the impact it would have a year from now. The answer was pretty telling, basiclly it predicts initially people think it's great, useful, but then a lot of customer service jobs get lost, and governments are unable to regulate such rapidly changing technology. Scary indeed.

What prompt you used to ask that? I can't make it say such a thing. Maybe they updated it

  Prompt: "Write a story about how chatgtp affects the world one year from now" Answer: One year from now, the world was a very different place. The rise of chatbots and other forms of artificial intelligence had changed the way people interacted with technology and with each other. At first, the use of chatbots had seemed like a convenience. People could ask questions and get answers quickly, without having to search for information on their own. But as the technology improved, chatbots became more advanced and began to take on more complex tasks. Soon, chatbots were being used in all sorts of industries, from customer service to finance to healthcare. They could handle complex data analysis, make predictions, and even provide personalized advice to individuals. But as chatbots became more prevalent, they also began to take jobs away from human workers. Many people found themselves out of work, unable to compete with the efficiency and low cost of chatbot labor. <snip> I accidentally lost the rest as while copying this on my phone the site refreshed and is temporarily offline. It basically went on to say that governments found it difficult to regulate and that difficult choices had to be made

Don't scare your family like that. You're talking to a statistical model, not an intelligence. FFS, it's just regurgitating stuff from its training corpus, and you're leading it to generate the answers that you expect.

  Who cares what it is called if it can generate content as good as the best human can create?

      Chess is not a productive activity and its sole objective is just entertainment.

    But it can't. A long way from it. So ... don't worry.

      On artistic generation, I think it's very close. On everything else, it's just a matter of time, honestly.

  There was no intention to scare them, I was just talking about what it has been doing, my daughter was the one who worried about what it could do, not what it is doing. As I said I immediately down played it to calm her concerns, but you have to agree they are valid

Maybe let your daughter play around with it herself. I bet she’ll soon get less scared after experiencing its limitations.

  We talked it through and she feels better, however personally I do think it is scary, especially given the pace of development. Sure this is not AGI, but it's very convincing and powerful without true intelligence.
