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?

I am a singer with Voices in the Wind, a small but very good local choir looking for new members. As we’ve just finished our most recent concerts, now is the time to join us!
What I really appreciate is the variety in what we sing:
- from more simple three- or four-part songs, to larger eight part works.

- from pop-songs to pieces from Musicals and whole classical Mass settings
- pieces in English, as well as Italian, Latin, Spanish, French, Hebrew, German, and Te Reo
- music by local composers, classical composers, pop stars, and crooners
We practice 730-930pm Wednesday evenings at St Barnabas Mana.
If you’re interested, check us out at www.facebook.com... and if you have questions, feel free to contact me: aelseb@icloud.com or our secretary Linda - lindavanmilligan@gmail.com
