Summary:
ChatGPT has considerable and worrying advantages for those in the library profession to be able to use in the coming years. It is important to note the ways in which to use ChatGPT and other AI technologies responsibly and understand the ethical implications that may occur when abusing the new and updating technology. Utilizing GPT as well as other AI programs can save on a librarian's time throughout the day, but it should never be the deciding factor on any decisions for a library. It is a great research tool and can be used to improve academic libraries, but there are drawbacks like any tool that librarians should be aware of.
Review:
I found the article rather insightful. I don't usually utilize AI tools in my day to day just because of the risk that they pose on potentially being wrong. I do think the article was insightful on both the dangers and the positives for AI usage, specifically that of ChatGPT which tends to be the most common AI tool so far. There is always going to be bias, whether it be human or AI standards, but again that is when we don't just focus on one person or tool to be the deciding factor when it comes to decision making for a whole library population.
