MW139 | Chat GPT: Is It Worth the Hype?

Since its launch by OpenAI in November 2022, ChatGPT has dominated the tech media headlines. The multi-talented chatbot has the ability to write code, generate reports, translate content into different languages and answer a wide range of questions. Short of juggling, its reported talents know no ends, seemingly providing users with a tool to complete hour long tasks in minutes – but is it really worth the hype, or is it just a case of the emperor's new clothes? Strap yourself in as our Mediaworks panellists discuss the origins of ChatGPT, debate its real-life uses and discuss whether this is the next stage of virtual assistants or we’ve just launched Skynet!
