Not much different from existing links like cochlear implants. Don't see the harm if people want to do this without any guarantees. Don't want to be the guinea pig; let others find the bugs.

Then, a time will come when the AI wars ensue. One human machine will stride forward with a ChatGPT Implant, while another will embrace a Truth Implant 😄, or whichever creation Elon Musk's company has devised.

In the end, these remarkable tools exhibit such innovation, my friend. I have constructed websites as acts of goodwill, and as a hobby, completing them within a single day. AI grammar is allowing me to type in a language almost perfectly, I speak other languages however English is not 10/10. Undoubtedly, these types of tools are truly astonishing. And now, the next step is upon us.

In the end, people might follow AI as they follow politicians, forgetting to filter or to think about it in terms of practicality though.

Also, the notion of granting unrestricted access without any form of intention verification raises concerns. I have no doubt that a team of officials and non-officials, adorned with spectacles, resides on the other side of the screen analyzing information. To those people, I would like to convey that I have utilized tools like this with benevolent intentions. Therefore, I kindly request that you communicate with the relevant parties to increase traffic to this blog for ideas exchanging purposes.

Yup, it is happening: 

⬆️ A Lawyer's Filing "Is Replete with Citations to Non-Existent Cases"—Thanks, ChatGPT?!

The lawyer's colleague, who drafted the filing, says he relied on ChatGPT to draft the filing and provide the text of the cases and neglected to check them. 

• AI is like a fast car, some people can't drive fast cars or at least when you are driving, try double-checking the rear mirrors or the front mirrors by doing some work too if you earn money with it.

My opinion: Companies that are here to tackle AI with AI, that is the future. If a lawyer falls for that, how about the general population?! And this is just the beginning, can't imagine what will happen when people will start wearing headsets. We are truly living in the future. 😎
