ChatGPT and the End of Civilization as We Know ItA Catholic Citizen in America

I'll be talking about ChatGPT, artificial intelligence, and why I don't think we're doomed. I'll start by admitting that I'm a human. I've been using software and search engines while researching and writing this post. So what you are reading has been tarnished by technology's terrible taint. Looking at it another way, today's tech has helped me find facts and arrange my ideas. I also strongly suspect that using today's technology has affected how I write. If I'd lived in an earlier era -- mayhap composing with goose quills, iron gall ink and cotton paper -- I might be writing stuff like "The Dunwich Horror". And yes, mayhap is a real word; although it's not used much these days.1 "…As before, the sides of the road shewed a bruising indicative of the blasphemously stupendous bulk of the horror; whilst the conformation of the tracks seemed to argue a passage in two directions…." Even in Lovecraft's day, there was only one Lovecraft.2 I'll also admit to a bias.
