Going Down the Rabbit Hole with ChatGPT
Dear friends, It was time to confront the existential question on my mind for the last week. Have I been replaced by AI with the advent of ChatGPT? Will content forevermore be produced by machines, or does the turn of a phrase and unique and funny perspective still matter?
Let’s Get Ready to Rumble
To test my question, I decided to put ChatGPT to the task of writing a blog post on a topic I’ve been working on: the rise of complexity of cloud computing infrastructure and oversight. To add to the challenge, I wanted to include my two most recent guests on the TechArena to the writing assignment. I typed the following query…and waited approximately 45 seconds for the blog to be output. “Write a blog about cloud computing complexity and mention Rebecca Weekly and Abby Kearns”.
Read it…and Weep?
Here is ChatGPT’s view on cloud complexity with shout outs to Rebecca and Abby.
Cloud computing is a rapidly evolving field that has transformed the way we think about and use technology. While the benefits of cloud computing are numerous, it has also introduced a new level of complexity to the world of technology.
One of the key figures in the world of cloud computing is Rebecca Weekly, who is widely regarded as one of the foremost experts on the subject. She has written extensively about the complexity of cloud computing and the challenges it presents.
Weekly points out that the sheer scale of cloud computing systems can make them difficult to manage. These systems often consist of thousands of servers and other hardware components, all of which must be carefully configured and maintained in order to function properly. This can be a daunting task, even for experienced IT professionals.
Another source of complexity in cloud computing is the sheer number of different technologies and platforms that are involved. Cloud computing systems often use a wide range of different technologies, from virtualization software to data storage systems and more. This can make it difficult for IT professionals to keep up with the latest developments and ensure that their systems are running smoothly.
Abby Kearns, who is the executive director of the Cloud Foundry Foundation, has also spoken about the complexity of cloud computing. In a recent interview, Kearns noted that the complexity of cloud computing systems can be overwhelming, and that it is important for organizations to have a clear understanding of their specific needs in order to make the most of these systems.
Despite the challenges, however, the complexity of cloud computing systems is also a source of opportunity. As IT professionals continue to develop new tools and technologies to manage these systems, they are also creating new opportunities for businesses and organizations to take advantage of the power of the cloud.
In conclusion, while cloud computing has introduced a new level of complexity to the world of technology, it has also opened up new possibilities and opportunities. With the right tools and expertise, organizations can harness the power of the cloud to drive innovation and growth.
My Take
Well, I’d love to hear your perspective, but I don’t see this as a replacement for humans just quite yet. Is it a stunning first draft tool for people with writers block? Could be…a bail out students at mid-terms? Definitely. But at least with this first test I see a lack of, well, point of view which makes sense given the author. But of course, I didn’t have the courage to add “from my voice” to the prompt. More on that next time! As always, thanks for engaging - Allyson
