I must confess to getting a little sick of seeing the endless stream of articles about this (along with the season finale of Succession and the debt ceiling), but what do you folks think? Is this something we should all be worrying about, or is it overblown?

    These things generate text in response to user input. Just another (pretty cool and useful IMO) tool we can use, and will probably destroy the world to the same extent as calculators, general purpose PCs, etc.

    I guess the difference with those things is that we already have plenty of open-source implementations of them, so there’s no way to scare the public or the US government into locking the tech behind some kind of corporate monopoly.
