News Summary

• ChatGPT has a talent for sounding sure of itself.
• Ask it a question, and it delivers a polished, coherent response.
• But should you always trust it?
• The tone promises authoritative answers, but it can mask the fact that the answer is only one possible interpretation of the problem.
• The same AI that just laid out a neat line of reasoning will then turn around and begin testing it, looking for cracks and weak points it did not mention the first time.
• It used to be enough for writing to be clear, maybe a little stylish, and free of obvious mistakes.
• But AI has imposed an evolving and absurd standard that makes clear prose and slightly uncommon punctuation suspect.
• Your writing might flow off the page, but crash into suspicions that it didn't originate from any human at all.
