I have helped run an AI-based entrepreneurship program for years, written papers on the econ of AI, and follow the field quite closely. Nonetheless, I am *shocked* by how good OpenAI's new chat (https://t.co/6PbtqZUziI) is. E.g., you can no longer give take-home exams/homework.

The primary meaning of the word 'poster' is changing from a physical object (the thing to be posted) to a type or mode of person on the internet (the one who posts).
Other examples of online culture changing primary word meanings?

In my Philosophy of AI class I run an exercise. I announce that BigTech Company has been secretly testing a new AI in our class. All along, one of the students was an android! The students break into small groups with this goal: prove that everyone in your group is human. 1/4
