There are a lot of fears and excitement right now over the rapid development of AI technologies such as ChatGPT. I want to start by addressing the fear of the AI itself. Some are concerned about what it could develop into. We suddenly have thoughts of Hollywood depictions of AI gone wrong like in iRobot, or Terminator.
