00:00This new AI-powered chatbot can write literally anything you want, from college essays to entire
00:05movies, but we need to talk about the impact it could have on academia and certain jobs.
00:09ChatGPT was made available to the public last week by OpenAI,
00:12an artificial intelligence company co-founded by Elon Musk. Specifically programmed to simulate
00:16human conversation from a given prompt, ChatGPT can write in different voices and
00:20moods as well as customizable lengths. The language model has since gone viral on social
00:24media, with people instructing the tool to write essays, poems, computer code,
00:29and even dating app responses. On Twitter, professors and those in academia have already
00:33expressed concerns that the program could be used to answer essay prompts and change the
00:37way assignments are administered. Essays written by ChatGPT have been able to pass
00:41anti-plagiarism software such as Turnitin. Programmers and journalists have also shared
00:46in the concern, saying that these programs could replace them and take over their jobs.
00:50Within a week of its release, ChatGPT has already garnered 1 million users.
00:54OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said while the bot is currently free for testing,
00:58it will be monetized in the future.
