I’ve appended it below, with mixed feelings: It is a good first draft, but thankfully my editor tells me I will not be replaced by an AI. Even if it does, there’s an upside: The AI could continue cranking out my columns long after I am dead. I may lose my job, but I would be immortal.
Notably missing from Chat GPT’s analysis, however, is any commentary from the Vatican and Pope Francis about AI, which I would have included., Francis told tech leaders to “ensure that the discriminatory use of these instruments does not take root at the expense of the most fragile and excluded. It is not acceptable that the decision about someone’s life and future be entrusted to an algorithm.
On one hand, AI has enabled us to make tremendous strides in fields such as medicine, transportation, and communication. From self-driving cars to virtual assistants, the technology has made our lives easier and more efficient. AI has also helped us to better understand complex systems and to make more accurate predictions about everything from the weather to financial markets.
Another concern is the potential loss of human autonomy and decision-making power. As AI becomes more advanced, it may become increasingly difficult for humans to understand and control its actions. This could result in a loss of accountability and responsibility, which could have serious ethical implications.
