Abstract

The recent hype about Generative AI (GAI), popularized since November 2022 by ChatGPT from OpenAI, claims it is a breakthrough that is already profoundly impacting both industry (Chui et al., 2022; McKinsey, 2023) and academia (Stokel-Walker & Noorden, 2023). It has the potential to change the nature of work, threatening many current jobs (Pringle, 2023b) and integrating GAI into several others (Chui et al., 2022). This trend appears inexorable, despite known missteps such as an amazing lack of judgment in revealing internal company secrets (Winder, 2023) and answering in an unbecoming manner (Pringle, 2023a). Recently, It even raised the question of whether AI can be an inventor on a patent (Morales, 2022) – it cannot.
