Why Is ChatGPT So Smart and So Stupid?
Along with millions of users, I have been experimenting with ChatGPT, which is OpenAI’s public version of its large language model GPT-3. In answers to hard questions, ChatGPT sometimes delivers insightful answers that would be a credit to an excellent Ph.D. student. Other times, however, it makes idiotic and obnoxious mistakes. I give reasons why ChatGPT is sometimes so smart, contrasting reasons why it is sometimes so stupid, and lessons to be learned from it about the differences between human and artificial intelligence.

Section 230 Won’t Protect ChatGPT
Lawfare, Matt Perault: “The emergence of products fueled by generative artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT will usher in a new era in the platform liability wars. Previous waves of new communication technologies—from websites and chat rooms to social media apps and video sharing services—have been shielded from legal liability for content posted on their platforms, enabling these digital services to rise to prominence. But with products like ChatGPT, critics of that legal framework are likely to get what they have long wished for: a regulatory model that makes tech platforms responsible for online content. The question is whether the benefits of this new reality outweigh its costs. Will this regulatory framework minimize the volume and distribution of harmful and illegal content? Or will it stunt the growth of ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs), litigating them out of mainstream use before their capacity to have a transformational impact on society can be understood? Will it tilt the playing field toward larger companies that can afford to hire massive teams of lawyers and bear steep legal fees, making it difficult for smaller companies to compete? In this article, I explain why current speech liability protections do not apply to certain generative AI use cases, explore the implications of this legal exposure for the future deployment of generative AI products, and provide an overview of options for regulators moving forward.”

How to perfect your prompt writing for ChatGPT, Midjourney and other AI generators
Generative AI is having a moment. ChatGPT and art generators such as DALL-E 2, Stable Diffusion and Midjourney have proven their potential, and now millions are wracking their brains over how to get their outputs to look something like the vision in their head.
This is the goal of prompt engineering: the skill of crafting an input to deliver a desired result from generative AI.

Federal Judge Rules That Emojis Count as Financial Advice
Just to prove we're living in an interesting timeline, a federal judge has ruled that using certain emojis while tweeting specifically signals to users that they should expect a financial return on their investments.
It's an extreme ruling that may affect crypto-Twitter, where you regularly see tweets adorned with profit indicator emojis like the Rocket, the Chart with Upward Trend, and Money Bag to catch the interest of would-be investors.
This article should have been written by an AI. (Lawyers being obsolete and all…)

Teaching to the Tech: Law Schools and the Duty of Technology Competence
Brescia, Raymond H., Teaching to the Tech: Law Schools and the Duty of Technology Competence (February 16, 2023). Washburn Law Journal, Forthcoming, Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=4361552
“As a result of a wide range of emerging technologies, the American legal profession is at a critical inflection point. Some may argue that lawyers face dramatic threats not only to their business models but also to their very usefulness in the face of new technologies that may mean some form of legal guidance will be available to virtually every American with a little bit of computer savvy and access to digital technologies. At the same time, in recent years, the profession has largely imposed upon itself a duty of technology competence, which imposes an array of obligations regarding the use and proliferation of new practice technologies. Since lawyers are obligated to maintain this duty of technology competence, law schools should also have an obligation to teach technology competence as a core professional skill. Even with the significant changes that are likely afoot in the legal profession on account of the emergence of new technologies, a duty on lawyers to maintain technology competence, and the likely burden on law schools to prepare students for it, the precise contours of this duty of technology competence are themselves hardly defined. To understand the full scope and potential consequences of the likely impact of technologies on the American legal profession, we should consider another point in its history, another inflection point, where technology had dramatic effects on the practice of law: the last decades of the nineteenth century. Then, technology impacted all aspects of practice—not only the means by which lawyers practiced their craft, but also the type of work they did and the subject matter of that work. In this Essay, I explore the contours of a robust duty of technology competence, what I call a thick version of that duty. As part of this exploration, I describe efforts of law schools from across the country that are teaching different aspects of this broader duty. I also attempt to set forth a program for law schools moving forward that will impart in all law students a muscular version of technology competence. Such a version will prepare them to practice not just today, but also tomorrow and for the rest of their professional lives.”
