You should have been tagged in our continued conversation about domain knowledge Carl :)

One thing (of many things*) that makes me wary of using ChatGPT is because I don’t know how well I can judge my own autonomy within the use of the system. I feel like I am trapped within someone else’s imagination of what is important, rational or mathematically likely. And there is a clear risk of trusting quick responses in a desire to move along and get something ”done”.

If I for example would use it to trigger new plausible thoughts based on an input I would feel that I have skipped important steps that would either (a) allow me to see weaknesses in the new idea or (b) provide understanding so I can use the idea in the best possible way.

My favorite way of moving my thinking along is these types of conversations with you both and others who like to take their time to look at something from any and every perspective before moving forward too quickly. 😊

One area I truly am intrigued by is using these tools to write code. In my mind this could be very useful in moving power away from centralised and monocultural ways of manufacturing software.

*Other concerns of mine of course relate to ethics, energy-use, the expressed values of the organisations providing the tool, colonialist tendencies, power concentration, unaccountability and more. But I’ve written more about this elsewhere :) I am aware that this makes me biased to discredit. I have also realised that these new tools likely have created a need for me to add one or two elements to The Elements of Digital Ethics, related to machine-generated content: https://axbom.com/elements/
