A lot of writing that we do is functional. It's to write a letter to the landlord, or ask someone to do a favor for you. And it sounds like I could do a task like that much more efficiently and effectively with an AI tool. The good thing is it's not as good as a human. Is it going to help the 1% of writers do four times more than they did before? That's the big question. Who benefits and who loses we don't know.

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.
