There is nothing scary about this.
ChatGPT is a human-built algorithm in beta. There are lots of other companies and individuals working on AI to produce great products with great results. Just like you have the option to search Google, Bing, Yahoo, Duck Duck Goose, etc… or get news from NBC, FOX, BBC, NYT, etc… you’ll have plenty of options for AI providers when these things are integrated into consumer tech. If you don’t like the results ChatGPT feeds you, help improve the product or use something else.
And by the way, “Okay Google” and “Alexa” are already versions of the “House AI” you mention. But suddenly ChatGPT is going to ruin the lives of children?
It’s really annoying to read all the sensationalism surround AI. Mostly for the sake of clicks.
