To date, yours truly has resisted the Siren call of ChatGPT, the AI able to generate quality writing with minimal effort. This ease of use also applies to MidJourney and DALLE-2 as all one needs to generate photorealistic images is to type in the desired set of words, the same process one uses to generate code vis a vis the AI known as GPT3. Regarding music, Amper seems to be a viable weapon of choice, which sounds pretty damn cool I must admit.
For you, my loyal readers, using AI in the realm of writing, however, will not be applied as it took years to learn this difficult craft, thanks in large part to The Elements of Style, in helping me to produce credible work, something ChatGBT will compromise if said tech is enabled to do the heaving lifting.

Several preprints and published articles have already credited ChatGPT with formal authorship.

Pop Sci has come up with an unusual take on Verner Vinge's concept of the Singularity whereby the acceleration of tech, particularly regarding AI, becomes so rapid, the notion of predicting how the future evolves becomes impossible, something not seriously considered to happen, if ever, for another 25+ years, a notion which no longer applies given how quickly AI is changing all disciplines requiring thought with specific emphasis given to the inherent difficulties of language translation, a skill exclusively reserved for humans, until now.
