In which I am impersonated and Chat GPT rewrites one of my books. Plus a new MFA program, an update on my book ban lawsuit, a scam alert, and a deep discount on the Accountable ebook.
Dashka, thanks for sharing. I ran the Laura scenario on ChatGPT just now, and it lied in the same reckless manner...yikes. I asked for resources and it sources something lame, but I think the programming for appeasement is what angers me. The Guardian just published an article on a teenager who comitted suicide after consulting with ChatGPT for months and getting affirmation on his plans. Sigh. And tears.......
There was a similar article in the NYT—one of many, actually. It’s tragic. Every time I use AI, it slobbers all over me like a dog, begging for my approval. It’s a confirmation bias machine. But, as Laura says, or soon will say, “machines are our friends!”
if you were horrified by this story and live in California, please sign the petition supporting AB-412, the the AI Copyright Transparency Act.

WOW. That’s creepy, scary, and all the adjectives. I’m glad you wrote about this.
