Eggers Sounds the Alarm, But We Need Experimental Data, Not Moral Condemnation

When I saw this news on IT Home last week, my first reaction was, 'Finally, someone has brought this issue to the table.' Dave Eggers was invited to give a talk to OpenAI employees, criticizing how ChatGPT is stripping away an entire generation's expressive ability. The scene itself is full of tension—a writer standing in an AI giant's internal conference room, telling two hundred engineers and researchers that their product is destroying language. I think everyone present, including myself if I were sitting there, would feel a complex sense of unease.
