Chat GPT is an incredibly intelligent machine that has been programmed to understand and respond to human language in a remarkably human-like way. We asked chat GPT to write an intro to this podcast and fed the text into an AI voice synthesizer to mimic my voice. Chat GPT, you can spit out a lot of information, but you don't actually think. You don't understand anything like we do.
ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence chatbot capable of generating human-like text, seems to be everywhere. But how trustworthy are these tools -- and what do they mean for the future of writing and work? Adam brings AI entrepreneur Allie Miller and innovation and entrepreneurship professor Ethan Mollick to discuss the capabilities of ChatGPT, debate its merits and downfalls, and ponder what we should -- and shouldn’t -- leave to AI.
