I never even realised this was happening? Absolutely 😖 AWFUL!

Very concerning, I get upset just by having to use "self-service" for literally everything...

Have an awful feeling AI is here to stay as most people will do anything for an easy life.

I'm like you, didn't realise what was happening till very recently. And yes, I agree , I just wonder if it will end up making life harder rather than easier in the end

It’s awful that this has happened to you! But I’m so glad it got taken down. I’ve always been worried about AI, especially after reading too many dystopian and science fiction novels haha. Unfortunately, I think those stories are coming true. As a journalist, I already have the worry of other people stealing mine and my colleagues’s work (which has happened to my colleagues in the past), but now I have to worry about AI as well. The positive side of me hopes we can live in harmony with expanding technology, but the negative part of me fears we have already sleepwalked into a dystopia.

I'm worried that we've sleepwalked into something we can't get out of too. A friend of mine who's an artist has a positive take on it though, she thinks that any piece of writing or art created by a human in the future will be seen as being extra valuable because of the talent that went into it as opposed to something that's just been churned out by a computer. Here's hoping she's right!

It’s crazy that the people who invented AI are now warning people about it! I hope your artist friend is right as well. :)

Yes! I started taking it seriously when I saw those people speaking out against it

I’ve never used it and I always was quite wary of it, but I just thought that was because I was being overly cautious 😅😅 it’s a really weird development in technology.

My students already try to cheat on the most basic of assignments. Teachers have to resort now to making students hand write assignments to avoid plagiarism. UGH on this whole AI scenario.

Oh it must be a nightmare for teachers. So many ramifications to this whole AI thing. UGH indeed!
