Sunday is a dull news day. During the pandemic, it has become a dead news day.



My AI agrees. (But I suspect it sometimes lies…)

A human wrote this article. You shouldn’t be scared of GPT-3

The headline that appeared in this opinion page on Tuesday was striking, “A robot wrote this entire article. Are you scared yet, human? The claim was disconcerting for many, perhaps most of all for those of us who write op-eds for a living. We felt the alarm of countless knowledge economy workers who toil beneath a computerized sword of Damocles, fearful that our entire career might be replaced in the (not so distant) future by new forms of artificial intelligence. But while the anxiety of economic displacement is quite real, the danger is largely a phantom … at least for now.
