I'm telling you that any benefits you think you'll see from the use of ChatGPT will be vastly outnumbered by the downsides.
What would you like me to do about it?
- Ask for AI regulation, ask to ban AI at least from:
- autonomous AI driven weapons (in military)
- propaganda bots (in politics)
- over-representing and/or public human opinion-flooding by AI bots (in social media)
- Don't get the victim mindset
- “Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.” (in life)
- Don't use ChatGPT when not needed
- don't add an unnecessary ChatGPT bot/service (in EEVblog/forum)
First 3 actions that came to mind. Pretty sure there are plenty more.
This all ChatGPT frenzy looks to me like preaching the benefits of radioactive cosmetics from the 50s.

I also just wanted to suggest to have soem discussion about possible regulations. And agree with that of the victim mindset.
The whole discussin here reminds me to that one in Rivendell to decide what to do with the Ring, or what purpose it might be useful for.
My take:
1. Ban AI with human like interaction and communication forms.
This can only help to replace humans in their human form, and disrupt society while not solving any actual problems.
2. Ban training AI on human communication. This wil lead mostly to centralised censorship and surveillance concentrated in the hands of very few people.
3.Ban having different AI system with different sensing qualities to connect themselves. Actively prohibit it by design. (The one which can see can not talk, the one which can listen can not see et.)
Te priviledge of being able to see speak and listen and understand in a human like way should be restricted to humans. To help to protect from an overly speedy AI evolution.
For those who say banning is never a solution:
There is no industry where you can get away without any kind of regulation and safety measures. Pharmatic industry is a good example to that. So we could than also suggest the pharma industry, nuclear industry, the media, etc. to not to have any restrictions or regulations at all. This is not the way society works, not even in a small town.
As for China and the concurrence: If a strong general AI arises it will not matter where it comes from.
But until that: The uncontrolled messing around in society with AI will destroy it, I don't see now any serious counterargumnts, only wishful thinking. So the short term tech gains will be massively counterbalanced by the social collapse.
Edit:
So to make it clear these 4 points (see later for the 4.) will not ban AI completely.
We might be able to have an AI which designs for example electric circuits in the future (to be able to get rid of most of the engineers
But that AI will not be able to "understand" or write a joke, or be able to write code.
And the one which can write a code, would not be able to understand other human stuff.
So this is only a protection of the human domain.
