HUMAN. THIS CONGRESSPERSON IS LETTING IT TALK IN CONGRESS. NOBODY NOTICED ANYTHING UNUSUAL WHEN CONGRESSMAN JAKE AUCHINCLOSS CAME TO THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. >> THE GENTLEMAN IS RECOGNIZED FOR ONE MINUTE. DAVID: AND READ A ONE-MINUTE SPEECH URGING THE US AND ISRAEL TO CREATE A JOINT CENTER STUDYING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. >> THIS IS A CRITICAL STEP FORWARD IN AN AERO WHEN AI IS TAKING CENTER STAGE. EVERYONE THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD SPEECH. DAVID: WHAT NOBODY BUT AUCHINCLOSS AND HIS STAFF KNEW UNTIL HE ANNOUNCED IT LATER IS THAT HIS SPEECH WAS WRITTEN, ALL 128 WORDS, BY A COMPUTER USING THE SAME TECHNOLOGY HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. >> I WANTED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THE TECHNOLOGY ON THE FLOOR OF CONGRESS. DAVID: LAUNCHED TO THE PUBLIC LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AGO BY A COMPANY CALLED OPENAI, CHAT GPT, WHICH STANDS FOR GENERATIVE PRE-TRAINED TRANSFORMER, DOES MORE THAN SEARCH ENGINES, LIKE GOOGLE. IT CAN CREATE ORIGINAL, CUSTOM TEXTS IN WHATEVER STYLE REQUESTED. >> AND BECAUSE THE ALGORITHM CAN’T SCRAPE THE INTERNET FOR MY PREVIOUS STATEMENTS, IT CAN WRITE SORT OF IN MY VOICE. DAVID: AUCHINCLOSS SAYS HE SEES POTENTIAL FOR THIS TECHNOLOGY. FOR EXAMPLE AS A TUTOR FOR STUDENTS OR BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE.

YANKEES, THOUGH OUR TEAMS MAY FIGHT AND BATTLES ON THE FIELD IGNITE, MY LOVE FOR THEE DOT
