I find that I no longer can do calculations in my head as easily as I used to because I mostly use a calculator, some people feel almost like they don’t know how to write by hand anymore because they mostly type on the laptop, at some point not too far from now, the cars will drive themselves and we will forget how to drive, and the list goes on. One can only imagine what will happen once ChatGPT and the like become mainstream. We are driving these technological advances and wonder is it for better or for worse!? The jury is out there…
Hi Reb. I just read an article about a Wharton prof who is opening his classroom to Chat GPT. He fed the app one of the MBA final exam questions, and he gave the answer a B-. Not too shabby, all in all. So, in short, go for it!! Replace scribes and EMR's with an efficient interface. You won't be made irrelevant, but you may very well be made more productive, not to mention financially, shall we say(?), independent.
Dr. Bregman, as a writer I'm horrified by your daughter's AI experience! Just like grammar is no longer taught, is writing going to go the same way? I get your point about EMRs and scribes -- totally -- but I'm still freaked out...
I was too - it will efinitely change teaching - but maybe for the better? (in-class writing assignments, oral defenses of written work, presentations...)
We can only hope...but just seeing my nephew's punctuation and grammatical errors in h.s. papers go uncorrected, makes me a doubter. Not to mention the grammatical mistakes of young hires over the decades.

Well, another Substack econ blogger Noah Smith just posted a piece about how ChatGPT makes stuff up.
