I spent an afternoon probing ChatGPT’s public demo and walked away both amused and uneasy. The system handles follow‑up questions with surprising composure, rewriting the same idea in any style I ask. It feels less like searching a database and more like talking to a diligent intern who never gets tired.
This will be a major milestone in the history of tech and one job I can already see this taking is those copywriting jobs, and I'm sure there will be many more. I'm interested to see what's next for this technology.
The eerie part is how confidently it hallucinates facts when cornered, weaving plausible prose around gaps.
My takeaway: powerful for brainstorming and first drafts, risky for anything that demands guaranteed accuracy.
Also, I'm sure college kids are going to have a field day with this.
