Do we strike you as late adopters? The Education Marketing consultancy who are helping institutions adapt to new technologies, new channels of engagement and the arrival of Generation Alpha? Surely not.
But kind of. Do you ever see lots of hype around a movie or TV show, and it actually puts you off watching it? It feels like, if you watch that movie when the noise is at its peak, all you can hear is the voices of others, and you can't find your own.
We've been in on ChatGPT since it first opened its robot arms to the public, but we just haven't felt like talking about it yet. So much hype has surrounded it; from the "end of education" to the "collapse of the human creative process".
It is neither of those things. If anything, it is the death of Google and the final death blow to old-fashioned essay-based assessment methods. However, in terms of creativity, it is simply another stimulus in the way we employ human intelligence, and AI is nothing without us.
We feel like people are starting to find a more sober analysis of ChatGPT on offer now, as we start to see the possibilities of it all, and also to simply embrace that this change is already here. We will be dipping into ChatGPT from a few angles over the coming months, as well as looking more broadly at OpenAI, the company behind it, and AI in general for a broader overview of course.
So if you were looking for a short article on ChatGPT that doesn't use the word "apocalypse", then you've come to the right place.
