I think the biggest risk in the use of Chat GPT will be with general education up through undergraduate studies in colleges. Anything above that and Chat GPT can't be used to plagiarized.
As an engineer in Radiation Protection, I get asked some far out questions or requests to solve odd problems. It sometimes makes me think of Scotty on Star Trek. Examples include:
- Find me a way to enter a high radiation area without receiving any radiation exposure.
- Find me a way to perform radiation surveys with zero risks to safety.
- Find me a way to negate the effects of radioactive wastes during shipment
These have been the craziest (and most serious) questions by far.
Chat GPT would only give general answers without delving into the details. Even if the AI was developed enough to do the research, the analysis required would be too cutting edge to be programmed.
