Prompt 3
Is Artificial Intelligence (ChatGPT) a burden or a blessing for writers? And what are your thoughts on AI in general?

I love this prompt because AI has been on my mind, and everyone else’s lately I wouldn’t be surprised.
When I first heard about Chatgpt I was shocked. I failed to see how this could possibly help us as a species continue to evolve, to research, for children to use their brains and come up with new ideas. Schools are divided. Some see the inevitability and are accepting work which has been aided by AI, others are banning the use altogether. However everyone agrees it’s hard to prove work handed in has been written by AI.. It’s very unlike plagiarism as the exact words, phrases and formats haven’t previously been written elsewhere by some other author.
I think universities and colleges are getting around the problem by asking more questions of their students to ascertain what they actually know about the assignment

Jobs will certainly be lost. Why pay a person to write ads for real estate, or simple business letters when a request, with the pertinent details, can be given to Chatgpt which will do a great job. Better sometimes than a human.

So what could be the benefits?
AI has the ability to assist with people with profound disabilities, helping them to be understood for instance with speech processing.
AI can use multiple languages
AI never tires, is available 24/7
AI frees up staff to do more productive tasks whilst platforms such as Chatgpt do the mundane tedious work.
AI is quick to answer any question you may have although fact checking is still advisable.
I can understand script writers and authors being concerned about AI when a bot can write a screenplay or a book perfectly adequately.

So what’s the consensus? Only time will tell but the cat is well and truly out of the bag and there is no way back.
