That's the main problem from my point of view.
- visarga 4y agoNo, we got to keep up with the shiny toys. Junior is riding on chatGPT like everyone else.
- randcraw 4y agoAgreed. The LAST use of ChatGPT should be the first draft. It's clueless about substance or the purpose of the essay, neither what's necessary nor essential. As such, its best use is to flesh out an outline that HAS these things into a essay or narrative that integrates them into a narrative that flows. The trick to that is, how do you take away ChatGPT's inclination to build upon the wrong premises or the wrong final message, and instead confine it to the role of verbally adroit assistant -- so it only expands a skeletal design into an well written final product? Now THAT would be a use for ChatGPT I could get behind. Alas, that wasn't the goal of its designers. By giving it almost total control over the plot line and requiring no fact checks or bibliography, the spewing of unchecked drivel was its only possible mission in life. Congrats, OpenAI.
