There’s something that was made mainstream just a few months ago in November of this past year and from when this went public and immediately it went viral. if you want to call it that it is already a $20 billion company. Can you even  comprehend that within five days it was as popular as Facebook and Facebook took like five years to  reach the level of use that that this is getting. What I’m talking about is ChatGPT if you’ve  heard of that or if you’ve heard of AI which is Artificial Intelligence that’s what stands for. ChatGPT is going to change and is already changing the face of everything that we’re doing on this Earth, it is revolutionary it is bigger than the invention of the internet or the light  bulb or the telephone and it is already affecting you right where you are today, in fact in the last  several years if you’ve Googled something you will get a myriad of answers and most of those are  written by people which is good but increasingly, a number of those answers to your questions are coming from artificial intelligence and you might be tipped off when you see right in the middle of an article something doesn’t look quite right.

But now it is even more intelligent, it even has more resources to deal with to come up with how it’s interacting with you and having conversations  with you, that are changing everything. Let me just share with you a few things. I’m going to put the links down below this article so that you can see can try it for yourselves. Log in and create a free account but interestingly they do require that you at least give your phone number.

Now I want you to think about the last few years on every time you needed to text message someone and you just spoke right into your phone: “Hey, text John and tell her to meet me for  coffee at Java at three o’clock on Tuesday.”  Every one of those texts that you have spoken into your phone has been recorded, not just the words but your voice has been recorded  in fact you can go back in the history and look and listen to all those text messages that you’ve  recorded or when you wanted to navigate somewhere. It’s recording everywhere you go everything you  say and it can even record you when it’s turned off. I want you to just think about that, I want  you to think about the free email servers that you use especially like Gmail and Yahoo and  anything like that. They are not free except for in monetary money but they are entirely expensive because they get to record every single word you’ve ever typed everything you’ve  received and everything that has gone out from you through those email servers is being recorded.

Now imagine Artificial Intelligence being able to pull from all of those emails and everything that  you’ve ever posted either through a text message or through Facebook and on Instagram. How many times your face has been recorded online. Feed that all into one big system and you have  something that looks more and more like a beast.

I personally I have a ChatGPT account and I have tried using it you can ask it anything under the sun and instead of like Google where  it will pull back one million options of  websites that you can choose from to go to, this one just feeds you the answer straight away and you can say no, I didn’t like that, tell me in a different way or but what about this and it will interact back with you. It remembers what you’ve said, what you’ve asked it, what answers it’s given, so I asked it a few things, I asked it to write wedding vows or write a poem and it did. I asked it to tell me what a recipe is  and it does perfectly, outlines the recipe with bullet points of every ingredient and every  direction I need for that recipe to be complete. It can do a myriad of different things, it can  write computer code and it gets it correctly, can you imagine it can correct bad computer code. So it will automatically put in jeopardy those who write codes for a living  because it can do it better than humans. It could even write an entire book, you wouldn’t need a Ghostwriter you don’t need to be talented or even know how to spell write yourself and it  can write it for whatever audience you choose.

Professors are not even able to tell if that term paper was written by a student or by artificial intelligence. they have no choice but to just  grade it as though it was your original work.

There are several potential worst case  scenarios related to the use of AI that could have negative impacts on humans some examples include:
