This made me go wow:
Stephen Fry reads Nick Cave's stirring letter about ChatGPT and human creativity
Great read! Stephen Fry! Great Words! Nick Cave! We need to keep voicing our concerns about ChatGPT. The artist injects the spirit into life!!
Another growing problem that is not going to go away, it is only going to become more predominant.
It is interesting that it is coming into existence right at a time when the 'Western World' seems to be abdicating on the very ideas that brought us to where we are today.
Enlightenment is being attacked on every level across Universities and Halls of government. Something to which is spoken of in the video you linked to, man's struggle to conceive and achieve, to create and to conquer his own shortcomings, is not being assaulted merely by ChatGPT.
But ChatGPT will certainly make it easier for the majority to accept this new world which we seem to be heading into.
"Europe today has little desire to reproduce itself, fight for itself or even take its own side in an argument. By the end of the lifespans of most people currently alive, Europe will not be Europe and the people of Europe will have lost the only place in the world we had to call home."
~ Douglas Murray - The Strange Death of Europe
By and large, one can say the same for the entirety of Western Civilization.
Nice sentiment, finely expressed, but I don't think it will halt the inexorable march of AI. There is money involved - big money - and money always has the loudest voice.
Money has no soul and the acquisition of it, in the largest amounts possible, drives all endeavours towards the lowest common denominator. "Reality" TV, anybody?
Paying a human to be creative just won't hack it when a machine can churn out a facsimile at low cost. And, creative people can sometimes be a bit temperamental. Who needs that?
I appreciate Nick Cave for his bold voice against this growing monster of AI that can destroy creativity in human beings.
But, the problem is most of us try to use this spontaneously available option for some purpose or other.

All these rules, Google updates, discussions, new rules, complexity and other problems you will all be well aware of, are, as far as I can see, just proof of what an Orwellian, controlled and monitored Police State or New World Order we are actually in.It appears that quality of writing, research...

I'm seeing a lot of this around the internet now. And a lot of debate.It started with art, now it's affecting writing.These apps are allowing people to enter prompts. The app skims the internet for content, chews it up, then creates something for the user to claim as their own original work....
