There has been a lot of discussion in the news lately about AI Chatbots and how they can change the future. Personally, from my experience with Chat GPT so far, I don’t think they will replacing travel writers anytime. They don’t write with passion or soul and as a freelance writer and editor, it’s easy for me to notice that right away. Yesterday, in the Corn Nation writers Slack chat, someone posted a CBS News article saying that teachers are most as risk of ‘being exposed’ and losing their job to AI Chatbots. My reply to this article was that it is a complete BS and such a ridiculous assumption to match and another wonderful writer followed up and said quote “Getting an education from anything other than a human being is third rate.” which is something I completely agreed. It’s fun to play around with these AI Chatbots but it’s going to be a long time before they come anywhere close to replacing anyone.
Would you let an AI chatbot plan your next trip? Do you think AI chatbots will have a big impact on education? Have you ever used Chat GPT? Do you have any spring break plans? Have you ever been rock climbing? If so, do you have a favorite rock climbing gym? Have you ever participated in and/or experience Jamaican Dancehall?
Feel free to answer and discuss these interesting questions in the comments below. Anyways onto Flakes...
