Here are some quick notes around issues around ChatGPT:
- Lack of corporate transparency from the mis-named Open AI (Silicon Republic)
- Ethical issues around labor practices with Open AI (Time)
- Difficulties with attribution (Duke University)
- Unresolved copyright issues (Bloomberg Law)
- Spreading misinformation (NY Times)
- Biased and discriminatory responses (UNESCO)
- Privacy and ethical concerns (Wired)
- Produces poor writing that can teach bad habits (The Atlantic)
- A turn towards learning as product instead of a process (requiring thinking and creating)
- The carbon footprint is horrendous (MIT Review)
- We are not looking at open source alternatives (Tech Talks)
- There is no vetting beyond buying into the hype cycle
FYI – the link for 8 (The Atlantic) is actually for the Bloomberg article (4).
Thanks! I fixed it. I have a longer post coming that has actually better sources – this was just my notes for whining at a state meeting 🙂
