Exactly! You nailed it. People are amazed at this robot capacity to comb the web for info, but that's nothing new here. The actual breakthrough lies in the capacity of the tool to speak like you and me (and probably better than me, in English at least)What is breathtaking is not so much the quality of the information (which is actually no worse than a lot of stuff on the internet), but the polished and coherent way in which it's expressed. OK so it's only regurgitating what it's harvested from the web, but it has done it in a more articulate way than a lot of real humans could have done.
Yep. And also by students in order to write acceptable dissertations. or journalists. Or politicians. And many others...Quite disturbing in a way - it is becoming difficult to know has been written by a real person and what has been written by ... what? Easily exploited by those with sinister intentions.
