ChatGPT has been all over the news of late, promising a bright new future… except that’s not what the Government’s own research predicts for England and Wales.

According to the media, on-line chatbots are helping people to be ‘more creative’; but is the whole picture really that rosy? Digging deeper, the facts are in plain sight, but no one ‘in authority’ seems to be capable of holding this rather disturbing discussion.

This is a really complex issue; which is perhaps why the media has so far failed to have an honest, expansive discussion about it. In response to recent ‘popular science’-type news about ChatGPT, what I outline here is why the drastically changing pace of technological change, being driven by artificial intelligence (AI), is about to up-end the traditional world of work; and with it, the well-being of large parts of England and Wales. The government’s own research says this. The question is, why is there no public debate about this, and why are our politicians seemingly so supportive of it?

Finally, it would really help to promote this work if you could follow, subscribe, or like my social media presence – which can be accessed from the link above. In today’s digital analytics popularity contest, all that button-pressing means something in this messed-up world; and if we’re going to challenge that, then we have to do our bit to whack the algorithms, supporting the kind of content we want to see by clicking on it.
