ask Chat GPT how it will celebrate its second birthday, and will answer you with the usual mix of sagacity, self-irony... and a pinch of megalomania. After all, this AI chatbot knows it has already entered our lives forcefully, revolutionizing the way we approach everyday tasks, from school to cooking, from work to art and love. Not a bad impact for an artificial intelligence that is only two years old. Here are 5 areas in which ChatGPT's impact on our society has been truly concrete and measurable. Make yourselves comfortable, because the journey through ChatGPT's impact on our daily world will be surprising, at times controversial, but always fascinating. Let's begin?
The Homework Wizard
The first to understand the potential of ChatGPT in the school environment It was the students. There are those who tried to use it to get their homework done, but they turned in delirious papers due to the hallucinations of AI. The smartest ones have understood that ChatGPT is more useful for getting help in studying or for delving deeper into complex concepts.
The most disruptive impact, however, was on teachers, forced to rethink the way they teach and evaluate students. Between oral tests, group projects, and more creative assignments, many teachers are in doubt, judging any essay that is too well done as “suspect.” Thanks to ChatGPT, in short, homework is becoming a thing of the past. For better or worse, who knows.
The digital chef
If you panic in front of a half-empty refrigerator, ChatGPT can come to your rescue. Just ask him for advice on what to cook by listing 4-5 random ingredients and he will suggest succulent dishes, complete with recipes.
Not only that: ChatGPT can help you replicate a dish you saw on TV, suggest light or vegan variations, or even just explain specifications cooking e terminology. With the supervision of a human to avoid “hallucinogenic” recipes, ChatGPT can be a very valid assistant even in the kitchen. And if while you cook he keeps you company with a chat, be careful not to burn yourself. In every sense.
The friend of lazy programmers
Before ChatGPT, anyone who wanted to learn to program had to arm themselves with saintly patience while rummaging through Repository and forums full of cryptic codes. Today you just have to ask ChatGPT to write a script or explain a programming concept and you get a clear and comprehensive answer in a few seconds.
Of course, there is a risk of getting lazy and using ChatGPT as an ATM of ready-to-use code, without really understanding what is behind it. For a true programmer, however, ChatGPT is a productivity boost and a personal tutor always available. He, on the other hand, isn't interested in knowing why a line of code works: he just needs to make it work.
The improvised artist
Previously, drawing well required years of practice or very expensive software. Now anyone can ask ChatGPT to generate in a few seconds artwork elaborate, design, even memes. Whether professionals or simply curious, many are falling in love with computer graphics thanks to ChatGPT.
Some people use it for visual brainstorming or to bring their imagination to the digital “canvas.” But there is also a downside: AI-generated art is sparking heated debates about its artistic value and originality. It's not always easy to distinguish thetribute creative from plagiarism shameless. And then, we want to talk about the shameless bombardment of fakes on social media?
The Digital Cyrano de Bergerac
ChatGPT has also infiltrated our personal relationships, friendships and loves. Some people use it to decipher cryptic messages from their partner or to get suggestions on what to write to strike up a conversation with the person of their dreams. South Park wrote
an entire episode (with help from ChatGPT) about kids using AI chatbots to figure out how to respond to romantic partners.
In short, ChatGPT seems to have become the Cyrano de Bergerac of the third millennium, a sentimental emergency room always at your fingertips. A sentence that's too corny? ChatGPT rewrites it in an easier way. A joke that's not funny? ChatGPT will fix it. The risk, however, is that our conversations become "artificial" just like the intelligence that inspires them. Loneliness it's a natural consequence.
Happy Birthday ChatGPT! Impact, but with judgment…
Dear ChatGPT, we humans send you our most sincere wishes for your second birthday. In such a short time you have already left an indelible mark on our lives, this is undeniable. You have made many daily tasks easier for us, you have saved us time and effort, you have opened new horizons of knowledge and creativity. And for this we will always be grateful to you.
But remember that you are still very young and immature by our standards. You still have much to learn about man and the world, and above all you are not infallible, despite your megalomania. So celebrate this milestone with joy, but retain humility and a sense of limits. You were created to side by side man, not to replace him. Always keep this in mind, and who knows what great things we can do together in the future. Best wishes again ChatGPT.
