GPT CEO surprised that many people believe in AI

 

Did you know that recently, Sam Altman, the big boss behind ChatGPT, stated something that surprised many people, especially among young people. In the first episode of the OpenAI podcast, he said, “I didn't expect people to trust ChatGPT that much, even though AI can mess up too.”

It turns out that we're not the only ones who often ask questions to AI as if it were our own friend, even Altman himself had ‘fun’ using ChatGPT to take care of his baby! “When I was a new parent, I even asked ChatGPT about diapers,” he said with a laugh. But she also warns, “We have to realize that AI is cool, but that doesn't mean it's always right.”

We as humans who live in the age of AI must be smart in sorting out information. Do not accept it carefully but must be examined again, because not all AI answers are correct. Why do people today often use AI? Because they think AI is everything, a little AI, looking for tasks using AI, there is even a video that shows a doctor where he is serving a patient using GPT cht.

Altman tells us not to accept AI's answers at face value. “AI is like a useful knife if used correctly, but it can also be dangerous if misused,” he said. He also said that we need social boundaries so that this technology doesn't go too far.

Cyberbullying in the Digital Age: Time for Digital Literacy

In the midst of the rampant development of digital technology today, we who live in an increasingly connected world but unfortunately this digital progress also opens up new spaces for negative actions such as cyberbullying. No longer limited to physical space, bullying can now happen anywhere and anytime with just one click.

 Cyberbullying is a form of bullying carried out through digital media, ranging from abusive comments on social media, spreading rumors in chat groups, to uploading content that demeans others. The impact? It cannot be underestimated. Many victims feel anxious, isolated, and even depressed because of the pressure they face.

 I think the people who get the most cyberbullying are famous people who have been recognized by many people such as artists or famous officials. Usually they get cyberbullying attacks from comments from netizens who when commenting do not filter their sentences, they do not care whether the victim gets the impact of their typing or not. There are still many people who are not aware of such actions, they think it is their right to comment here is where we must understand how the digital world is currently running. By learning digital literacy, we will know how to act in today's digital age.

The picture above shows a terrifying aerial view of a river filled with huge giant snakes. In the image, the camera, which appears to have been taken by a helicopter, captures a view of the river where there are huge giant snakes, creating a creepy image. The image above makes you cringe, and question whether this scene actually exists in the real world. The image above has been widely shared on social media with the presence of giant snakes, many people have also shared the images to various social networks. Some even got excited.

After tracing where the picture came from. The image comes from a tiktok account called @Reality Off. This is the importance of us to increase the culture of digital literacy in the current era where everything can be made by AI as if it were real. By understanding digital literacy we can filter or share which information is true and which is fake. This post is indeed indicated as AI-generated content. The almost photorealistic visuals show the ability of AI technology to create content that can trick the eyes of the audience.

This incident highlights how quickly AI-generated content can spread. This phenomenon has led to calls to improve digital literacy amid the rise of synthetic media. “We need to be more critical in assessing online content. AI technology can now make very convincing videos, but that doesn’t mean they are real,” a technology expert was quoted as saying by the Times of India.

             

The Importance of Digital Literacy

 

Literacy has been a part of human life and development since ancient times, from prehistory to the modern era. In prehistoric times, humans only used natural signs for hunting and self-defense. Over the years, they began drawing symbols and images of their prey on cave walls. Human life evolved from not knowing writing to developing thought processes that allowed them to create codes with letters and numbers, which marked humans as creatures capable of thinking. This thinking eventually gave rise to culture. The process of literacy development began with the invention of writing, which was done using parchment as the writing medium. Parchment is a writing tool made from the skins of animals such as sheep, goats, or donkeys, which replaced paper. The pages of books, codices, or manuscripts used by people around 550 BCE were typically made of parchment.

Human interaction in the literacy process already involved the exchange of information through carrier pigeons in the 5th century CE. For instance, the development of printing machines, paper, cameras, and journalism progressed along with technological advancements. Newspapers became one of the most renowned sources of information. The pace of technological transition accelerated due to the need for quick information. The telegram, an invention from 1837, was used to deliver messages quickly, accurately, and from a distance. The telephone encoded Morse codes or combinations of signals transmitted via a device called the telegraph. In 1867, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Its name comes from two words: “tele,” which means “distant,” and “phone,” which means “sound.” Therefore, the telephone is a tool for communicating with others via sound.

In the digital era, intense competition and innovation have been driven by the increasing need for information. As audio-visual technologies advanced, radios and televisions became global icons in the early 1900s. However, the delivery of information via these mediums did not fully meet society’s needs at the time. Computers were invented in 1941 to fulfill the urgent need for tools to create, design, process, and store data. Hardware and software experienced rapid technological advancements. Text-based applications marked the initial use of computers. Supporting applications for digital media emerged with the advent of the user-friendly Windows operating system. To meet the global need for mobility, laptops have become very popular. With the remarkable growth of internet networks, laptops are now increasingly being replaced by gadgets for digital media.

Everyone must understand that digital literacy is crucial for participating in the modern world. Digital literacy is as important as writing, reading, arithmetic, and other fields. The mindset of today’s generation differs from previous generations because they have limitless access to digital technology. Everyone must take responsibility for how they use technology to interact with their surroundings. In everyday life, people can interact and communicate with friends and family thanks to digital technology. Unfortunately, fake news, hate speech, radicalism, and even fraud are increasingly spreading on the internet today. The existence of negative content that damages the current digital ecosystem can only be countered by raising public awareness.

A digitally literate person has the ability to process various types of data, understand messages, and communicate well in various forms. In this context, it includes creating, collaborating, communicating, and working in line with moral standards, as well as understanding when and how technology should be used to achieve goals. It also includes critical thinking and understanding the various positive and negative consequences that may result from using technology in daily life. This encourages individuals to be active information creators, either personally or as part of a community. If younger generations lack digital skills, they risk falling behind in the competition for jobs, participating in democracy, and engaging socially.

Digital literacy will create a society with critical and creative mindsets. They will not easily fall victim to provocative issues, hoaxes, or digital fraud. As a result, the social and cultural life of society tends to be safe and healthy. Building a culture of digital literacy requires active community participation. One indicator of achievement in education and culture is the improvement in digital literacy.
