Yesterday I listened to an episode of The Daily, my favorite news podcast, titled “The Writers’ Revolt Against AI Companies”. The episode focused on a current news story about comedian Sarah Silverman, who is suing OpenAI (the company behind ChatGPT) for copyright infringement. Sheera Frenkel, the New York Times tech journalist interviewed on the podcast, also spoke about her own experience asking ChatGPT to write a paragraph in her voice. Frenkel said she was “creeped out” by how accurately the bot was able to mimic her language and style.
