ChatGPT is a tool, not God. Use it wisely. You can use a hammer to build a house or kill someone. Let’s ban hammers. And don’t even get me started on cars.

I know a woman who asks chat GPT questions about parenting - how to get my 24 year-old son to drink less? how to get him to save some money? How to get him to be more responsible?

And their conversation will run for hours....

Her husband isn’t much help, so I guess its just a crutch or way for her to vent.

Stay in your lane, Chat GPT. That’s the teachers’ job.

AI does not know what it is doing. It’s a program. It doesn’t examine what it is saying to determine if it makes sense.

And it’s going to be put in charge of many aspects of life. Not a very comforting thought.

ChatGPT isn't monolithic.

It adapts to its user by picking up on patterns in how you write, what you ask, and what you seem to care about. It remembers your preferences during a session and, if you let it, even across sessions. Over time, it can adjust its tone, style, and level of detail to suit you. It’s like a really attentive conversation partner who learns how to be more helpful the more you interact.

GIGO - Garbage in Garbage Out

A.I. is like a giant garbage collector, sucking in EVERYTHING IT CAN FIND ANYWHERE ACROSS THE INTERNET and then, with its programmed models and algorithms supposed to “make sense of it all” relative to a specific question.

But without human filtering of what goes in, you get GIGO - garbage in, garbage out.

And why not? What else would one expect from a program, if that is what it is called, that has been destined or designated to replace these youngsters for all time?

And for most, the "never forgetting" AI engines enjoy a far deeper fellowship with the teens than their parents have.

There has been bad advice on the internet from long before ChatGPT was ever thought of.
