> I mean no offence at all, but it somehow feels like you don't know who the author is. I've been reading Bruce Scheier's blog for years. And I actually don't disagree with him. Just adding my opinions on top. I don't think there's a big conflict between what the two of us are saying. I think he might even partially agree with me. > I strongly disagree with your statement that technology is mostly harmless and beneficial. That's your good right. But my opinion does not come from ignorance. Which is what you seem to be implying. To counter your opinion, you only talk about the negative and completely ignore the positive impacts of technology. ChatGPT (to stay on topic) is already a big educational tool. Anyone curious enough to ask it questions is getting answers. The fact that some spammers can also use this technology is not a reason to put a stop to that.

Sorry I did not mean to imply that your opinion comes from ignorance! I just wanted to make sure you knew who the author is, which I find important and which ChatGPT (since we talk about it :)) completely removes. ChatGPT does answer questions indeed, but a risk I see is that it teaches people not to question the origin of information (ChatGPT completely loses it). But in a world with more and more disinformation, it is a vital skill to be able to check a source. In my opinion, a big part of education is not to get an answer from the professor (here ChatGPT), but to learn how to check information and to be critical about it. "Who wrote that? Why did they write it? Who are they actually? What do others say?" -> ChatGPT not only completely loses that, but it may actually introduce mistakes while it generates the text. I wouldn't want a teacher who routinely introduces mistakes in what they say, while using their authority to make me believe it is true.
