So many people were saying they needed ChatGPT to study for exams… is that a problem?

Feels like something we’ll all remember… like, ‘Where were you during the ChatGPT outage of 2024?’

Why does it bother you? Isn’t this just like using Google instead of going through books at the library?

It’s not the same thing. Relying on it too much might backfire when these students enter workplaces where AI use is restricted or banned. Then what?

Tell me more about these workplaces of the future that won’t allow AI.

Like my job, for example. We’re encouraged to learn and understand the work, not just copy-paste from an AI. If the AI’s code has a mistake, you’ll need to know how to fix it or explain why it’s not working on time.

Won’t last forever. AI will become the norm even in strict workplaces.

@Jesse
Think about industries like finance, where privacy rules are super strict.

People who embrace AI will work faster and better. Those who ignore it might get left behind.

AI isn’t always reliable. It’s known to make mistakes, and even OpenAI advises double-checking its results. Not to mention, there are privacy issues involved.

If AI tools are banned at work, people will just use them secretly on their phones. You can’t really stop it.

What about the energy consumption of these AI systems? That’s something people ignore.

That’s not the main issue here.
