  1. Letting the guest answer is fully lacking everywhere else in the world. Look at political debates especially, time frames so shirt the only fit the politician's buzzword intros like thanking for the question and boasting something they've said somewhere else. Then there's 25 secs to answer a question about "the economy", as if a definition could even fit in that timeframe let alone a thought out response.

  2. My first experience with chatgpt was me arguing with its responses on Buddhist philosophy. It is very, very good at helping people learn to think. For example: I argued "isn't it contrary to the premise of abandoning desire and embracing the impermanence of the world for a Buddhist monk to repair and maintain a Buddhist temple?" Chatgpt will give some really fun arguments to complex philosophical paradoxes if you're clever enough to probe it at the edges deliberately. It will always take human education to get the most out of gpt because it only responds. It is creative, but only to training and responses. There's no impetus or personal drive to gpt, and that is its limitation. Absent critical thinking, the model of human cogs in a company, the majority of the workforce, they are replaceable by gpt and that only scares me because I'm not sure that everyone is willing or able to be more contemplative than a chatbot. They just don't all have the same internal monologue as academics who just enjoy the science of learning as opposed to academics who chase prestige and paychecks. University should never have become this jobs training in the firs place, so if nothing else universities in an AI world will just revert back to their original function of pursuit of thought with the option to work a job with the knowledge acquired afterwards; but the primary function for schooling is learning, not job training. It's the job training pushing people into it for career and money that leads to all of this wokeism imho. Only people who don't want to be there are afraid if ideas they disagree with. Only people who shouldn't be there would even want (never mind demand) censorship on campus.
