People shouldn't be using chatGPT for anything serious. Obvious, right? Not to CNet, which has been forced to issues corrections after it's AI-authored articles contained blatant inaccuracies. "For more than two months, CNET has been pumping out posts generated by ChatGPT. The site has published 78 of these articles total." Here's another reason why you shouldn't use it: the use of low-paid labour to make chatGPT content "palatable" (content warning for this link - seriously, be warned, this is really disturbing). These sorts of issues are important because there are real world consequences if AI gets it wrong, for example, when it's deciding who to hire for a job. Some people are drafting AI-use policies for their classrooms, but do these address the wider social issues?
