"...by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open..." - M. Shelly
There are always challenges with new technology; it's been this way since the loom and since WordPerfect eliminated the typewriter. So cautionary stories about ChatGPT and AI, in general, are bound to happen for three basic reasons:
- Mystery - knowing about AI is far from knowing AI and the public barely knows AI.
- Motion - this movement is traversing quicker than any other tech advance, ever.
- Pre-programmed - we've been watching robots taking over the world since Mary Shelly unleashed the monster. Fear of AI is almost at the DNA level.
