As technology continues to advance, more and more people are utilizing the newest advancements to make their lives easier and more convenient. ChatGPT is one of the newest innovations that has skyrocketed in popularity and is being used by people in creative and unique ways. Launched in November of 2022, this tool uses Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT) to generate content from user data and create facts, stories, and information from scratch.
Parents of young children often need to manage both working full-time and meeting each of their children’s needs. Instead of being drained by a tiring battle of a homework every night, or struggling to provide an entertaining bedtime story – an automated assistant like ChatGPT can help these parents make their lives easier. Rather than simply reading a story from an online platform, a user can provide specific instructions to create a custom story or task tailored to each child.
In addition, students from high school to college are taking advantage of ChatGPT’s abilities and finding creative ways to use it. By providing the requirements of the assignment, the length, topic, and grade level, users can create a perfect essay within minutes to hand in to their teachers. Other uses include creating sermons, résumés, and penning wedding vows. Tech giant Bill Gates used ChatGPT to challenge Open A.I. and it successfully passed 59 of the 60 questions on an advanced placement biology exam.
However, despite these advantages, ChatGPT also has a potential to be abused. Its utility has caused some to organize mass automation of labor, which could easily lead to grave consequences if used in unethical ways. Though some of its founding members, like Elon Musk, have called for a 6-month pause in development to further assess the potential consequences, most of us have begun to recognize the use of this tool as a necessary convenience.
The ability to easily generate content, to pass tests, and even to entertain children are just some of the potentials of this tool. For that reason, it is now more important than ever to realize the potential of this tool while understanding the importance of human effort and its power to prevent it from becoming an agent of oppression and injustice.

Elon Musk is a South African-born American entrepreneur, engineer, and investor. He is widely known for being the founder, CEO, and chief designer of SpaceX, as well as co-founder and CEO of Tesla, Inc. In addition to innovation, Musk has become a leading figure for his deep concerns about A.I. and the profound effects it could have on society and humanity. His calls for safety and responsible development of artificial intelligence has helped garner attention to the ethics behind this new advanced technology.
