People have criticised generative AI for the many ways in which it’s corrupting what it means to be human. The latest example of this comes from OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman.

Gary returned from six months of filming a Channel 4 documentary to find that the biggest piece of gossip in his absence had been generated by Rory Stewart, former Conservative MP and co-host of The Rest is Politics — the UK’s most-listened-to politics podcast. In a November interview with Green Party leader Zack Polanski, Stewart had questioned Gary’s credibility as an economist, implying he lacked serious qualifications for the role. Gary came back and watched it. He found it interesting…
