Feel safe using #chatgpt and #ai? Dont think it can influence you?
Though ChatGPT does not offer direct opinions on most things, it does have the ability to influence the thought process of those using it by inserting suggested ideas and certain concepts in its replies. Increased reliance on these services will grow in time (its inevitable), therefore it could be argued that the influence of OpenAI will grow and will be much more difficult to see than (for exmaple) how google does it.
As a direct example: If you ask it to summarize an article, it can choose which statements/ideas in the article to include and which to exclude, this has a direct effect on the summary of the article. As people rely more and more on this service, they are less and less likely to read the books/articles fully, thus making it less likely that the interference would be detected by the user.
