I've avoided using chatgpt and it's various other forms for a couple of years now. I did an excel course at work a few weeks ago and decided to try it to find out various formulas and boy what a difference. I also used it for an email a few days ago. I said something along the lines of 'How can I improve this email' and it came back within seconds with a far better constructed email.
I'm on the wrong side of 50 now so I'll hopefully be finally retiring soon but it's scary and exciting how good it is. I'm not sure what future holds for the youngsters.

The trouble is A is that the thickos around today will need AI to interpret the email for them in simple form. I tend to use Alexa more in our kitchen Echo unit. However, limited as it is, it is easier than looking things up. Mrs D uses it for the timer and spellings for her crosswords. Are we advancing to Terminator?

We haven’t got an Alexa although we do have the similar Google thing. It lives in the bedroom and most of the time it get asked what the weather is going to be. It’s not too bad with the weather but asked anything else and I find the answers a bit short . It will tell jokes although it has the habit of repeating the same one over and over again. Music it will play but we can’t request a certain song. All in all it’s so so at best.
My daughter did make some use of the chat gpt when doing her A levels and she did say most of the kids used it . There are evidently programs for schools to highlight that pupils are using it but by all accounts it doesn’t perform very well at all. Thankfully my daughter is pretty smart ( don’t know where she gets it from) so had no need to rely on AI .
I’ve got an account on Flickr and have looked at a number of AI pictures especially of people. A few years ago they would look not much better than cartoons but the quality has improved enormously. Some are still enough to make me think AI but that seems to be more a case of backgrounds , poses and a sort of overall “ cleanliness “ of the picture for want of a better term . The rendition of skin for example is so much better and there are starting to be pictures creep in that you’d swear are real people. Give it another 5-10 years …

I remember someone I knew did a photoshop of me with David Tenant together in a photo a few years back knowing how I dislike him. It was obviously fake but funny. I should imagine that if it was done today the image would be seamless and real. This is the danger as a public figure could be morphed in with another woman in a compromising shot and if the fake picture was published it could cause all sorts of issues.
