Coming in late, but if you haven't read Ted Chiang's article for the New Yorker about ChatGPT, I think it's worth a read. Also, I recommend the book You Look Like A Thing And I Love You, which came out before ChatGPT was unleashed on the world but I think it's still good, by that researcher who has that blog where she's been posting things like AI-generated ice cream names for years.

I have a moderate -- though outdated -- amount of academic experience with machine learning, and I have a lot of mostly negative opinions about the uses people are putting AI to and the ethical concerns involved in creating and curating the massive data sets involved here.
