Not old enough to have experienced it, but I image it’s like when the pocket calculator became ubiquitous. Same with computers and typing over handwriting. It’s just a tool. Or when Google became good enough to do quality research and every professor was dumbfounded on how fast students were doing research vs them 40 years prior. “How will the students learn if they didn’t have to spend hours reading superfluous to truly synthesis the question and find the answer.”
It’s basically old people yelling at clouds at this point because the world is changing. It’s just amplified and going viral with social media. Because it’s new and “scary” and most people are scared of things they don’t understand. Trying to explain to the general public what a generative pre-trained language models is not simple. Hence these garbage articles that poke at the lizard brain part on fear.
Anyone who has really used it knows it’s confident persona wrapped around an idiot.
I asked it to calculate total cost of a loan over its maturity. Having the actual answer and it was off by a significant amounts. Even when it showed it’s work was also wrong.
But if you ask it very specific questions with lots of keywords it’s does have a higher probability of of being correct.
You have to already know what your doing to get it to spit out good products.
