The Ethics of Chat GPT
Dear Reader,
I'm so over the AI tools...
Every time I open social media, I see something like this:
If you're using ChatGPT, you're only scraping the surface. Check out these 100 AI tools to 10x your productivity!
🥱 The way we talk about these tools says a lot about our society.
The fact that we invented a plagiarism machine also says a lot about our society.
Don't get me wrong. I think the tool is useful.
I'm just saying it's about time we took a critical look at generative AI.
Thank goodness for Pete Armitage, your new favorite design ethicist. Pete wrote a little piece on the ethics behind Chat GPT.
As a UX writer, Pete brings a verrrrry unique perspective to the conversation. I think you'll enjoy it.
