New AI chatbot is scary good

What's happening: Users are telling ChatGPT to rewrite literary classics in new styles or to produce performance reviews of their colleagues, and the results can be scarily good. Why it matters: ChatGPT displays AI's power and fun. It could also make life difficult for everyone -- as teachers and bosses try to figure out who did the work and all of society struggles even harder to discern truth from fiction. Driving the news: Last week's public release of ChatGPT came from OpenAI, which had previously set benchmarks in this field with GPT3 and its predecessors. Yes, but: The high quality of ChatGPT's responses adds to the fun, but also highlights the risks associated with AI. Between the lines: ChatGPT, like other text generators, also creates problems when it gets things right.
