Episode notes

I think GPT models will be already are sufficiently good that if you ask them for content the right way, it's very hard to identify where it came from. If you just ask it straight up questions, what causes inflation? You can spot a GPT derived answer, even without software. But again, with smarter prompts, we're already at the point where, you know, I sometimes say the age of homework is over. We need to get used to that.

Economist Tyler Cowen of George Mason University talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about the benefits and dangers of artificial intelligence. Cowen argues that the worriers--those who think that artificial intelligence will destroy mankind--need to make a more convincing case for their concerns. He also believes that the worriers are too willing to reduce freedom and empower the state in the name of reducing a risk that is far from certain. Along the way, Cowen and Roberts discuss how AI might change various parts of the economy and the job market.
