>In my experience, too, ChatGPT has been like a total godsend for learning.

I think you'd like this approach:

Getting the AI to turn the essay into a podcast would be handy though.

>After a half century or so, everyone will get it through their thick heads that this is stupidly inefficient and just exchange the bullet points.

Naah, bullet point miss out on the language nuances that full text communicates, even in business

Knowing which biases to include in the AI is going to be difficult.

A purely logical mind could suggest things we're culturally unprepared for.

• Voluntary euthanasia (but for whom? At all ages?)

• Acceptable losses in war and also in peace

• Extinction of some species (or somehow weighing the balance between human lives and the environment)

• Elimination of some populations where it calculates a "greater good" for humanity. Or for the environment, depending on it's values. Or for the next gen of AI, for that matter.

• assassinations and rapid deployment of the death penalty

I think this is an extremely valid point. We're already seeing this to a degree. It took a matter of days after Chat GPT's release before I saw my first recipe/ script for "suggest high SEO ranking headlines, now write articles to match those articles." There will be, at best, a time lag before search algorithms can respond to this.

I'm in favour of it, too, up to a certain point. Study after study has shown how sentencing is affected by the age and background of the offender, or whether the judge has eaten recently or is just having a bad day.

Plus, i like the thought of being able to pump in the details of a crime first, so i can accurately decide if it's worth the risk.
