I agree this is a complex topic and thank you for starting this conversation. It is really impressive how AI came into our lives almost overnight and how many of us started to use and believe in it. I haven't so far but recently had a conversation with a friend of kine who's using it and explained how. She showed me some examples of her conversations with ChatGPT, how's she's building the relationship with the AI in order for the AI to be better equipped to answer her specific questions. All good so far... I must admit I was impressed but then here is that I think:
1. The time she used on ChatGPT is the time she is not spending with another human. I could have answered her questions same way as ChatGPT had or we would have researched them together
2. Same friend told me that one of her son's high-school colleagues used ChatGPT for an essay and did not disclosed that. He got 95%, my friends son got 70% on his own work
3. ChatGPT is used now to build CVs, work presentations, college essays... looks like cheating to me.
What you mentioned about doctors who will use Chat
GPT will replace those who don't: this is a very interesting statement. We both did med school and we know how important it is for a doctor to think about diferential diagnostics, to use the knowledge gained in med school to care for the patients, etc... we'll lose that skill if ChatGPT is going to think for us... What do you think?
Hi Minodora, thanks for sharing your thoughts... Of course it is complex and evolving... we don't know where this will go and what we humans will ultimately do with it or this will make to us. However my main point is that like any other technology, in terms of mindset, we have the obligation to understand it and embrace it to see how we can enhance our lives, increase the quality of our production and not to feel it is an either or scenario, but one in which we use it, following your example, to accelerate certain things, even to double check what we have produced, but then to add the human factor to it, to spend the time with another human but to enhance the level of discussion, of sharing insights and opinions, of planning the next steps with that research, in thinking how it will be applied, etc... Now, doing things to cheat, to lie, not to disclose that you have used it, that's a different story. Time will tell
