This is a tool so copyright rests with the user (unless reassigned by some license agreement). That people interpret otherwise is concerning.
- dr_dshiv 4y agoThis is the main issue. What was weird is that they didn’t take responsibility for what they communicated. Whether they wrote the message with a template or from prior examples or from GPT, they should be taking ownership of the text they send.
- NickC25 4y agoRight - that's the thing. Think about the scenario: 1. A shooting occurs at a university, killing several students. 2. The higher-ups at the university clearly can't be arsed to care, much less communicate directly with students, so they push the communication to the students down several layers of bureaucracy, to the point that an associate dean of DE&I is the one who has to send out a message. 3. The associate dean of DE&I clearly didn't give a shit to the point where, instead of writing something to the students, she asked ChatGPT to do so. 4. Once ChatGPT was finished, this lady decided to send its output without proof-reading or the most basic of editing. Does anyone else not think this is incredibly lazy and extremely disturbing?
- PebblesRox 4y agoThe shooting had nothing to do with the university that sent the email; it was in a different state and likely didn't impact any of the students directly. Nobody would have cared if no email at all had been sent.
