I am really impressed with it as a natural language engine and query system. I am not convinced it "understands" anything or could perform actual intellectual work, but that doesn't diminish it as what it is.

I'm also really worried about it. When I think of what it will likely be used for I think of spam, automated propaganda on social media, mass manipulation, and other unsavory things. It's like the textual equivalent of deep fakes. It's no longer possible to know if someone online is even human.

I am thinking "AI assisted demagoguery" and "con artistry at scale."
