The impact of such [[AI models]] is potentially enormous. Like other [[content-generation applications]] (e.g. [[DALL-E]] and [[Midjourney]]) it affects the human element that, until now, has been responsible for the production of text or art. It could mean the end of white-collar knowledge work. <ref name="”4”" /> <ref name="”7”" /> Also, copyright issues are another problem that will arise. In education, homework and essays will not be a reliable way to evaluate students. AI-assisted tools keep evolving and will provide an easier way to plagiarize. <ref name="”9”" /> In the future, tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT could be used as propaganda machines, flooding the public with authoritative-sounding information. <ref name="”10”">Fried, I (2022).
