Wardley: Not a Fan of ChatGPT
Large language models are coherence engines not truth engines, we don't teach the critical thinking needed to properly evaluate the outputs.
On our current path, we will create a civilisation fluent in everything except truth. The population will have more information than at any point in history and less capacity to judge any of it. The systems will be congratulated for “ending misinformation,” unaware that they had only ended contradiction. The world will be calm, articulate, and devoid of truth.

I have a Simon Wardley semble collection with other work by him, which goes back 20 years.
