Is There Still Room for Humans in an AI-Generated Future?

If you believed the hype in January of this year, you’d be surprised that any of us are still working or having independent thoughts. ChatGPT made generative artificial intelligence and large language models a standard topic in conference rooms and at kitchen tables. Many of those conversations were shrouded in doomsday scenarios, (most of) which haven’t yet materialized.

Yes, AI promises to transform the way we work and live. And, yes, AI has already begun to reshape our trust in information.
