Very dry enjoyable stuff from UK parliamentary committee:

"In beginning the inquiry, I turned to ChatGPT to see what they might suggest, and in answer to the invitation to write three questions for a UK Select Committee inquiry into regulating AI, within 2 seconds,

"the following 3 questions came up:

one, how can we ensure that the development and deployment of AI is ethically responsible and transparent?

Two, what measures can be taken to mitigate the potential negative impacts of AI on employment and on the economy?

Follow

"Three, how can we strike a balance between promoting innovation and protecting the public from potential harms caused by AI?
Those questions have a very uncanny resemblance to the questions we will be pursuing. Not at all defensively, our Clerks responsible for this noted that

"it was highly likely that ChatGPT had accessed the terms of reference for our inquiry and returned them to us, but we will be discovering during this very important inquiry some questions about current and future deployment"

(The Clerks are of course wrong, for now.)
