Artificial intelligence programs such as ChatGPT are here to stay - the question now is, how will they shape the future? Will the use of AI to complete daily tasks, particularly school work, impact cognitive abilities and creativity?

Recent work out of a MIT Media Lab suggests that people who used ChatGPT have lower brain engagement than those who did not when writing their essays. While the MIT Media Lab work has driven headlines recently, others have been quick to remind us that the fear of technology is nothing new.

We want to know: Is AI an addition to the technological toolbox, or should we be having bigger conversations about the impact of AI technology?

Ole hoping you can help me .Ovousily You must watch the Saturday Night Movies on Hope Channel as you have posted about some of them on Neighbourly. So hoping you might remember this movie that was on Hope Channel one Saturday Night and can tell me the name of the movie. Many thanks Rachael

(It was about a Christian guy and he and his wife used to go to the movies regurly with his mates/co workers .There was a male dark skinned christian guru who this christian was interested in and he followed his work . The guru came to city/town where he lived and he got a chance to meet him and sit down with him and talk with him. The christian guru shared his message with him about the media and told him that satans church is the media and that satan has many followers . This got the guy thinking about the types of movies he and wife went to see with his mates/co workers. Not long after he met the guru the guru died and it was suspected that he may have been killed to silence him,to stop him sharing his message. The guy started to feel really uncomfortable about the movies he was going to see with his mates/co workers and decided not to go to the movies anymore and convinced his wife not to go anymore, and told her why and then he shared with his mates/co workers why he would not be going to movies with them anymore. He told them that he realised the females on screen were not sex objects but some ones wife,daughter,sister . I think there was more that happened in the movie but I can't remember anymore.)
