You mean stop enjoying the benefits of experience and wisdom?

No, stop being old. Age is no indication of wisdom.

Age is no guarantee of wisdom, but it certainly is an indicator. In any case, I'm quite sure that I don't understand the point you're making here. You just listed a bunch of things that some people (both young and old) think and say about this tech.

What do you mean by "being old" here? What is it, concretely, that you want people to stop doing?

Chat GPT + Blockchain is the birth of the real Web 3.0 and it's going to be wild and weird but ultimately it's going to be an improvement.

AI is the use case blockchain didn't know it was looking for.

The exaflod of content and deep fakes, etc. that's coming towards everyone soon will require some sort of trust protocol, blockchain is great for that.

I now cringe when I hear "Web 3.0"

I wrote a book a decade ago with Web 3.0 in the title (semantic web, linked data, etc.). "Web 3.0" has been used in so many contexts and meanings, that we need something more description in a name.

This is the opposite read. ChatGPT is mainly being used to relieve of low level thinking. Not to indulge in it.

And you know this how? Do you work for OpenAI?

Sample size of 1: It's how I use it.

Online dating is going to be a nightmare with chatbots flooding the dating sites catfishing everyone. User contrib sites like Reddit will be flooded with bots that keep the conversation going, but drop in sponsored mentions into things for revenue. I think a push for real, verifiable identities and digitally signing content may happen so people can attempt to wade through what is real and what is fake.

Not a super well thought out article. Example: lots of speculative complaints that ChatGPT will lead to an explosion of low quality and biased editorial material, without a single mention of what that problem looks like today (hint: it was already a huge problem before ChatGPT). Ditto with the “ChatGPT gave me wrong info for a query” complaint. Well, how does that compare to traditional search? I’m willing to believe…

The difference is we can improve the AI to be more accurate, and I suspect before long it’ll generate better content than a human would that’s verifiable with citations. There may come a time where writing is done by a machine much as a calculator does our math. But knowledge maybe shouldn’t be canonically encoded in ascii blobs randomly strewn over the web - maybe instead of accumulated knowledge needs to be structu…

The model needs known "good" feedback to improve. The problem is that the quality of its training data declines with the more output produced. It's rather inevitable that we'll be drowning in AI generated garbage before long. A lot of people are confusing LLMs with true intelligence.
