Hi Donna,
While I absolutely respect your concerns, I think you might be underestimating the benefits it offers. No everything requires "fact-checking," just proof reading.
I'd like illustrate, just so you can see it in action without needing to try it yourself.
I copied the text of your reply (not any identifying information, just the body) and pasted it into ChatGPT and asked it to respond. It took me 10 seconds to copy, type, paste.
It took another 10 seconds for ChatGPT to write a response and for me to copy/paste it here below. No editing.
Honestly, it has taken me 100x longer to type this response to you, than it did to get the AI response.
Here is what ChatGPT has to say.
--------
I understand your concerns about AI-generated content, and it's important to approach new technologies with a critical mindset. While AI language models like ChatGPT can generate responses and information, it's crucial to verify and fact-check the content they produce, just as you would with any other source of information.
OpenAI, the organization behind ChatGPT, acknowledges the potential risks associated with misuse or misinformation. They have implemented guidelines and safety measures to mitigate these risks, such as filtering out certain types of harmful content and encouraging responsible use of the technology.
However, it's essential to be aware that AI systems are not perfect and can sometimes generate inaccurate or misleading information. They learn from vast amounts of data available on the internet, which may include both reliable and unreliable sources. Relying solely on AI-generated content without fact-checking is not recommended.
When using AI-generated information, it's always a good practice to cross-reference the information from multiple sources and evaluate its credibility. Critical thinking, skepticism, and fact-checking remain crucial in our digital age to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information we consume.
If you have any specific questions or concerns about a particular topic, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to provide you with reliable and accurate information.
-----
As you can see, that really would have been a perfectly suitable response that I could have just pasted in here to reply to you. It would have taken seconds, not minutes. Nothing needed to fact-check, just to read it and review.
Again, I absolutely respect your concerns, but I hope you found this exercise enlightening, if nothing else.
Have a great day.

I've been reading all the positive responses about ChatGPT and they leave me more than a little concerned. This technology may use material subject to copyright protections, private information, misinformation AND it can impersonate you. It can take your profile picture and insert it into unfavorable correspondence, posts, articles, etc..
I would never trust information generated by AI. I would have to fact check everything which would take longer than writing my own email.

The ALTA Information Security Work Group met on May 23rd and one of the topics discussed was how to safely and effectively use ChatGPT. I've tried it myself and it seems to have some potential to create draft starter documents job descriptions and RFPs which could then be refined. It sure made drafting faster!
Have you tried ChatGPT? How did you use it? What risks concern you? Let us know!
