What is the danger of chatGPT?
According to The Atlantic article, chatGPT should be treated as a toy and not a tool. ChatGPT is an impressive tool from a technical standpoint, but having a conversation with a machine to generate responses can result in serious issues.
ChatGPT does not have the ability to accurately understand the difficulty of human language as well as conversation. The program is trained by the programmers to produce the results on the basis of an input given. However, it does not possess the ability to understand the meaning of the words. In short, the results produced can be lacking in inside and depth.
In addition to it, chatGPT can result in ethical concerns during the conversation. If people will start to trust the machine to have conversations then they can experience the loss of genuine human connection. None of the humans can exist in isolation. The ability to connect with others helps in our overall development psychologically and physically.
Moreover, using shortcuts will prevent humans from trying hard or putting in extra effort to get the necessary knowledge. Consider an example of a fifth-grade student who is tasked with writing an essay or letter. The student instructed chatGPT to prepare the same for his homework. The process continued as he didn’t get caught by any of his teachers till he reached 10th grade or college. During an interview, he was instructed by an interviewer to write a letter to the client for approval of a certain task. Now, this is where he got caught because he didn’t lay an effort to do any research of his own to write down the necessary content in a letter. At such an age it would be difficult for the student to cope with the shortcomings of what he didn’t stress about during his school days.
Another serious danger of chatGPT is that anyone can ask the program to create a computer code that can be used to spy on user activities and steal confidential information. In short, chatGPT can be used to create viruses to in fact the systems.
