I am in the middle of a recruitment and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the motivation letters were written by ChatGPT...

Very interesting article, Martin. I've been experimenting with ChatGPT as well. I've used it to generate course outlines, which I'll write about soon, but for now the key message is that, as with your job description, it did the grunt work and gave me a starter for 10. It would have saved me a lot of time when I was writing course outlines last year. I also used it to generate a formula to use in Excel when I was having difficulty figuring out how to do something.

I tried an experiment whereby I asked ChatGPT to say what makes a good book review, then asked it to review two books, and then compared those book reviews to my own. The results were very interesting, and the comments even more so: https://open.substack.com/pub/terryfreedman/p/can-ai-write-decent-book-reviews?r=18suih&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Is it usable on phone or is it just for computer use only.

Great essay! I'll just answer your last questions about where AI can go related to different work with my essay where I ask ChatGPT about Creativity and explore how creative, or not, we really are!

My reactions are very similar to Jani’s. I find your article really interesting and stimulating. On the other hand I share Jani’s concerns about where Ai programmes like ChatGTP are taking us.

Very interested article! I don't know much about ChatGPT and I have to learn more about it, but my first reaction is a bit mixed-feelings. I see its potential as a tool that will help us greatly, but at the same time it's a bit scary. You can tell that AI is getting better and better and it seems that it won't be long until it takes over the world - and that's a bit scary and conserning. What are you thought about this?
