Chat GPT, schmat GPT

“I’m sorry, Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”–HAL 9000, the AI from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey.

If only Chat GPT were that simple to dismiss. But resist? That you can do.

Authors, filmmakers, musicians, visual artists, and other creatives are panicking about the appropriation of their work and the possibility of being replaced, rendered obsolete.

Perhaps my favorite commentary on Chat GPT is this brief, bruising one from Nick Cave’s Red Hand Files.

This one on Lit Hub, however, gives me hope.

Kind of gives new meaning to HAL’s classic line.
