Now that the ChatGPT chatbot has been published for a while and the dust has settled a bit I think we should talk about realistic scenarios how it could change the world in the next few years.
- Would you pay for it monthly it it was an unleashed version with no restrictions in what it answers including no censoring, next level GPT-4, up-to-date data feeded into it, linking web pages, knowing news etc.
- Will the world become a slight 2 class society: those that use the tool and those that don't? 50k Sats isn't much but a lot of people don't pay for Microsoft Office either, aren't bothered to learn basic Python or are not paying 10 bucks for Netflix either. Those that lean into these things will be even more steps ahead now.
- Should schools ban chat bots for homework? Do these tools hinder learning own critical thinking and structured writing (I know how ironic this is considering how rambly this post is)? Or is it even adverse selection to NOT use these tools since they are definitely available afterwards...
- Should techie people pursue education or corporate-positions on purpose where we can leverage these chat bots hard before non-techie people catch on?
What are your thoughts?
