I too have noticed a decline in income from blogging ever since Chatbots have been popularised.

One thing that I would like to point out is the fact that ChatGPT uses a standard vernacular and I have been told by a respected copy editor that there are now computer programs in place that can detect if a piece of work has been written by this platform. If a person is working on an assignment for school or university, he needs to be careful not to get caught using ChatGPT in the paper because it could be considered cheating.

One area of concern that I personally have is when it comes to writing computer programs. Sometimes I ask ChatGPT to write a small computer program for me on a topic that I am studying. On those occasions I have asked for a program, I must check it to see if it works. On many occasions, especially when the code has been written in the Tensorflow library, the code does not work. The main reason for this, I believe, is because sometimes the code has been written in Tensorflow 1 and is…
