Reply to comment by RKurozu in ChatGPT Has Been Around for 2 Months and Is Causing Untold Chaos by Parking_Attitude_519
Technology: the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry. Practical purposes is the question. It is very topical and important to discuss impacts, especially inadvertant or purposeful, that have a disruptive and destabilizing effect on society.

Not just ChatGPT - generative AI 'creating art'; AI doing deep fakes on voice, images and video; now even AI that will generate and copy cursive writing.
It's like somebody said, let's find the most destabilizing and disruptive uses of the technology and went ahead and did it. Or, people are clueless as to the effects of the technology when they create it.

I have known teachers like that. Basic things like having a plan for what you are teaching and the resources to do it - these are fundamentals. If they need to have someone or something do it for them, I think they should consider another occupation.

Call me cynical, but I don't think many students would stop to consider questioning ChatGPT.

Assessments based on concepts of the students future needs presumes you know what the students are going to need. Things that are fundamental needs are better addressed. Using ChatGPT in developing lesson plans, grading, or writing essays is unwise because ChatGPT will give you wrong answers, generic answers, or not the same answer twice. It will give you citations that it made up. It has problems with basic math and distinguishing letters.

Ahhh, an application of AI that I can get behind. Sick of seeing it used by opportunists to supplant and exploit human creativity (sometimes illegally).

One of the fundamental principles is to follow the law and regulations. Laws and regulations provide justice, treating all people equally and equitably.
These principles flow from morality. Autonomy, beneficence, non-malficence, justice.

Reply to Don't add "moral bloatware" to GPT-4. by SpinRed
Moral rules are the basis of the system of laws that make sure we have a society of human beings behaving well and in harmony. It is naive to imagine them derived solely as a result of logic. The term 'moral bloatware' is a loaded phrase.

Reply to The Impact of Generative AI Art on Society and Culture: Will It Replace Human Artists? by _Daneel_Olivaw
No, because the generally available training data will be constrained to public domain and non-copywrited or watermarked images. Also, because AI has no imagination, it is merely capable of synthesis.

Reply to Will ChatGPT Replace Google? by SupPandaHugger
No, it is too expensive. Beyond that, it's attempts to curate responses to queries is subjective and limiting. Getting a different response on subsequent same queries is a drawback also. And then there is the question of coverage. And then there is internet misinformation. So no.

Reply to In a study examining conversation as a vehicle for social influence, researchers found that changing the mind of someone who is dismissive of efforts to protect the planet could be accomplished by sharing a pro-sustainability point of view during a verbal or written exchange. by memorialmonorail
Finding a shared viewpoint as a point of departure during a conversation about anything is beneficial for joint exploration of positive thoughts and possible actions. Community and commonality are key.
