Can only sign under on not being worried but actually rather excited recently… it’s not until this summer that I started to realise how I can use ChatGPT to assist me in brainstorming or conceptualising ideas, as well as just getting started with research through the processes that you outline; of digging deeper and being specific and then use the resources to double check etc. It’s been a great time saver! And frankly fascinating conversations (never thought I’d says that lol). Anyway, we’ve also used it to discuss tax situations, because also YES the reality looks different than your first hits in Google + there are so many other metrics to take into consideration (we lived in Montenegro to give the 9% a trial, but there, like in Dubrovnik, you get much higher rents and costs if you’re a foreigner so it ended up very expensive for the standard… then you have questions of “feeling of home” too, which start to matter more when you get kids etc… never ending questions haha) love that you brought this up, it’s a hot topic and chatgpt can be a friend in the middle of the night thought trains 😆

For sure! However, I’ve had to be careful when brainstorming and conceptualizing creative writing ideas. I noticed it took away from the artistic process for me. So far, the trick for me has been leaving AI out of it when it comes to creating but integrating it for research.

Yeah, I'm also not terribly worried. ChatGPT can give a lot of bad info and after getting misled a few times, I think people will seek out the real thing. Of course, knowing who is real and who isn't is going to get harder...

For sure. And maybe in some fields, the harder it gets, the better because our BS detectors will get stronger. I’ve already noticed how much more people are craving real human interactions.
