ChatGPT: Savior, Slanderer or Spy?

In the past couple of decades the public has seen the arrival of technology that isn't just a game changing, it's revolutionized the way we live and work. Some of these technologies have been beneficial, such as the amount of money saved in postage due to email and texting. Some of these technologies like ransomware have been harmful. And some, like autonomous vehicles and cryptocurrency have yet to be decided. Yet none of the technologies that have come before offer the kinds of promise and perils of artificial intelligence. To most of us the idea of AI brings to mind dystopian Sci-Fi flicks like 2001: A Space Odyssey where a conscious computer loses its electronic mind, or The Terminator that portends all out war between robots and humanity. While entertaining, most people don't believe that either of these outcomes is likely to happen. At least not for another hundred years or so. Well, I'm here to tell you that a taste of a future where artificially intelligent machines have a profound and sometimes troublesome effect on humankind has already arrived. What I'm talking about is web-enabled, AI-powered chatbots that do much more than hold a lively conversation with users. While several are in the beta testing phase, at least one, OpenAI's ChatGPT is not only readily available to the public, it has already created considerable controversy.
