Suddenly, we can all write! But just because we can, does it mean we should (note Jeremy Clarkson and others)? I suspect, however, the reverse might well be the case. More accurate perhaps?Īnd so, if that happens to you or anyone else such as the millions of authors, journalists, bloggers and even programmers out there, then how detrimental would that be? Whatever I was about to write, ChatGPT could write it better. It was more to do with the ‘so what’ factor. Not because it had been written before (no fool thinks like I do!). It crossed my mind that whatever I was about to author, was valueless. I suspect it is something to do with ‘authenticity’. Why was this? Why could I not actually physically write down what was in my head? My brain, whirring as it was with ideas, did not transmit to my fingertips. It was like sitting at a piano with the lid down. Wanted to write about my first ChatGPT experience.īut I couldn’t. My mind buzzing, ready to capture this moment in time such at that first email I ever sent or txt or pager, #powerpoint presentation or even Slack thread I created. No sir, it’s happening whether we like it or not. That genie is well and truly out of the bottle now and no attempt by me or my friends and gurus such as PR Smith Jeff Frick Rob Wilmot Chris Kane Simon Kanani et al will halt it in its tracks even if they wanted to (which I suspect they do not). Nor, either, is this a ‘Luddite’s plea to stop the progression of #ai or indeed the bigger threat of #ML. There’s nothing bawdy nor really that funny about what has just happened to me whilst turning on my laptop with the intention to draft out an article about the future impact of #chatgpt specifically in relation to the thousands marketing graduates that I have had the pleasure of teaching over the years. If you are expecting to read of bawdy antics ala Pseudolus, then please do not read on. A funny thing happened to me on my way to the (ChatGPT) Forum
