<p>So you’re probably freaking out about <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/openais-impressive-chatgpt-chatbot-is-not-immune-to-racism">ChatGPT</a>—which is understandable.</p>
<p>Since its release last year from artificial intelligence lab OpenAI, it’s created a firestorm of discourse about how these large language models will be a kind of universal disruptor, capable of doing everything from <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/chatgpt-wrote-my-ap-english-essayand-i-passed-11671628256">writing essays for students</a>, <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katienotopoulos/cnet-articles-written-by-ai-chatgpt-article">pumping out SEO articles for publications</a>, and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jan/05/microsoft-chatgpt-bing-search-engine">even dethroning Google as the world’s most popular search engine</a>. It even threatens creatives, potentially replacing <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/chatgpt-hollywood-screenwriters-film-tv-1235296724/">screenwriters</a>, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/23520625/chatgpt-openai-amazon-kindle-novel">novelists</a>, and <a href="https://www.cnet.com/culture/entertainment/heres-what-it-sounds-like-when-ai-writes-christmas-lyrics/">musicians</a>.</p>
<p>We’ve already seen some of this play out already. ChatGPT has been cited as <a href="https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.19.22283643v1.full">an author in at least one pre-print study</a>, and even news articles (albeit, <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katienotopoulos/cnet-articles-written-by-ai-chatgpt-article">some tongue-in-cheek</a>). A new preprint recently found that the bot can even create study abstracts that are so convincing <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00056-7">it even fooled scientists</a>. Many fear that in its wake, it’ll leave a bloodbath of journalist and marketing jobs, and a whole lot of headaches for <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/princeton-student-edward-tian-built-gptzero-to-detect-ai-written-essays">teachers and professors</a> trying to suss out whether or not their students actually wrote their assignments.</p>
