The ChatGPT Phenomenon

We've reached peak AI: a language model so advanced it can write a sonnet, code a website, and plan your vacation, yet still can't consistently tell you if a tomato is a fruit without launching into a pedantic lecture about botanical definitions versus culinary practice. Its knowledge is a mile wide and an inch deep, a perfect mirror of the internet itself�brilliant, confident, and often completely, hilariously wrong. We use it to draft emails to our bosses and then argue with it about the plot of "Star Wars." It's the smartest dumb thing we've ever created. It hasn't replaced jobs so much as become a crutch for every creative and intellectual task, making us all simultaneously more productive and profoundly lazier. The future is here, and it's a chatbot that will confidently explain the history of the Roman Empire to you, but might accidentally include a cameo from Julius Caesar in a spaceship. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
