ChatGPT, AI, and the future of writing
Book - 2025
Ever since the large language model-based AI chatbot ChatGPT launched in 2022, there has been a significant amount of buzz and concern around the possibility of this technology impacting writing as both a creative and professional pursuit. Proponents of the use of ChatGPT and similar AI argue that it can be useful in helping people improve their writing and be more productive, while opponents fear that it could make writing less creative, discourage people from learning to effectively communicate themselves, and even result in the loss of jobs that involve writing. This volume considers viewpoints on both sides of this debate to explore the role of ChatGPT and other AI today and in the years to come.
