There are lots of articles about bad use cases of ChatGPT that Google already provided for decades.
Want to get bad medical advice for the weird pain in your belly? Google can tell you it’s cancer, no problem.
Do you want to know how to make drugs without a lab? Google even gives you links to stores where you can buy the materials for it.
Want some racism/misogyny/other evil content? Google is your ever helpful friend and garbage dump.
What’s the difference apart from ChatGPT’s inability to link to existing sources?
Edit: Just to clear things up. This post is specifically not about the new use cases that come from AI. Sure, Google cannot make semi-non-functional mini programs automatically, and Google will not write a fake paper in whole for me. I am specifically talking about the “This will change the world” articles, that mirror stuff that Google can do exactly like ChatGPT can.
I just wish humans could be not awful for once in our history. You know what I’ve done with ChatGPT? I had it help me convert a big python function into a one-line delta, and got it to write a short horror story about a man eating a can of beans in theater, amongst other silly things. But everyone suffers, and things get harder to make use of because of power-mad scumbags who see everything as a means to gain control of others.
I mostly use it for silly things or to give me ideas, and I might try it if we get back into running a game in foundry vtt because the macro I had it test generate messing around looked like it should work fine and I’m lazy
But I can’t imagine using it for serious stuff ever. Maybe in a few years.

Hell is other people
I had it write a rap about the poop emoji
