3:46 am
>> reporter: the seattle and new york city school systems have banned chat gpt. so have some colleges. >> the idea that we would ban it is up against something bigger than all of us, which is it's soon going to be everywhere. it's going be to be in word processing programs. it's going to be on every machine. >> reporter: some educators are trying to figure out how to work with chat gpt to let it generate the first draft. >> students will stop being writers and they will become editors. my initial reaction to that was are we doing this becaus chatgpt exists or are we doing this because it's better than other things that we've already done? >> reporter: open a.i. declined our requests for an interview but offered a statement.

3:48 am
be able to contribute to our collective art and science. >> reporter: but maybe we should let chatgpt have the final word. i worry about chatgpt's effects on education, misinformation and jobs. >> chatgpt is a tool that can be used for a variety of purposes, both positive and negative. it is important for society as a whole to have ongoing conversations about the responsible development and deployment of a.i. technology. >> reporter: thank you. >> you're welcome. if you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to ask. >> that was david pogue reporting. the "overnight news" is back in two minutes.
