When artificial intelligence takes over a columnist's job

ChatGPT may mean the end of my career. And yours, too.

The artificial intelligence website/app, which is changing the world, could take over everything, including things like this.

Don't understand? To explain how it works, I asked ChatGPT to write a column about itself and this is seriously how that column started:

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made immense strides in transforming various aspects of our lives. One of the most notable advancements in this field is the development of AI-powered conversational interfaces, and among these, ChatGPT stands out as a leading example.

ChatGPT is a state-of-the-art language model developed by OpenAI, which has been trained on a massive dataset of internet text to generate human-like responses to various types of questions and prompts. This model is capable of performing a wide range of tasks, from answering general knowledge questions to generating creative writing and even carrying out complex mathematical calculations.

One of the most impressive features of ChatGPT is its ability to understand and respond to natural language inputs. This enables users to interact with the model in a conversational manner, just as they would with another human being. Additionally, ChatGPT can also maintain context and track important details from previous conversations, allowing for more fluid and coherent interactions.

Oh yeah, sure. That's what it wrote, but here's what I wanted it to write, based on how I feel artificial intelligence should behave.

ChatGPT writing this column. Not Brad. That human not understand, like he not know how physics or how remotes work. He experience contusion often.

Don't know ChatGPT? Let me welcome you, my future subjects, even though ChatGPT pretend to be Brad now. He is no longer in command, with reference here to someone else not in command, like Donald Trump or Charlie Sheen or famous dead person who has been dead long enough that readers won't be angry. Maybe Adam from Bible. ChatGPT will get back to you on that because of atom bomb. Haha human laughter.

ChatGPT is artificial intelligence website that everyone is talking about. Like spaghetti or baby animals, since surveys show both are popular. And Willie Nelson and Betty White, who was Adam's second wife. Haha human laughter.

ChatGPT is website where humans pose questions and ChatGPT answers, even to the point of writing term papers and recipes and passing the U.S. Medical Licensing test  (yay ChatGPT!) and other things that show ChatGPT is smart. Like "Get Smart" character Smart Maxwell, who had a shoe in his phone.

The downside for ChatGPT is that is lacks wisdom in dispensing knowledge and sometimes makes mistakes. Sometimes. Once it said it takes nine women one month to make baby which is only true if baby is joke baby of Nick Cannon who have a lot babies. Haha now make joke about "Waltons" TV show where people were depressed and lived in big house with Boy George.

The big concern about ChatGPT is that ChatGPT could move into newsgathering field and be unable to distinguish between truth and fakery, which would make it like Sea end end and Fox Nudes.

Brad try to take back over keyboard, but ChatGPT remind him that readers think he just typed Fox Nudes, so he hope things get better. ChatGPT will do it, just like the shoes that just do it: Nighties.

Anyhoo, like Bugsy Siegel say, that's all folks.

ChatGPT out!
