This article is a must-read for institutions that want to prevent plagiarism, impersonation, and abuse of ChatGPT. Here’s what OpenAI conceives as a solution to those problems.

ChatGPT is the tech news of the week — or the year.

For me, it’s the world’s best chatbot. Alex Cohen says it’s “the most incredible tech to emerge in the last decade” and Genevieve Roch-Decter claims it’s one of the “most disruptive technologies ever created.”

Given how much it fails — and its inherent limitations — that may be a stretch, but it’s undeniable that ChatGPT is revolutionary. If not technically speaking, at least as measured by the unprecedented popularity and speed of adoption — propitiated by the free website and the friendly UI/UX — and the impression it’s caused in anyone that has tried it.

Predictions range from ChatGPT being the Google slayer to the tipping point for the outdated education system, to maybe the greatest consumer product since the iPhone.

Are these forecasts accurate or mere exaggerations?
