SUMMARY:Chat GPT\, AI\, and the Changing Nature of Information
DESCRIPTION:The world is changing fast! And that is especially true of how we compose and collect information. ChatGPT and similar technologies have only been available to the public for several months\, but already they are having a major impact on how we understand the present and see the future. Are these changes good? Are they bad? Or are they somewhere in between? Regardless of what you think of these technological developments\, they seem like they are here to stay\, so it’s probably best to understand how they function\, where you could encounter them\, and what they can do.
