What are your thoughts on how ChatGPT and other AI-generated content will affect things like plagiarism and academic dishonesty?

For example, if an employee asks ChatGPT to write a persuasive ad for some product and uses the resulting paragraph with very minimal changes, wouldn't that be plagiarism if they didn't cite it as generated by ChatGPT? I could see this creating some legal trouble, especially if someone generates the actual content that is intended to be sold (like the chapter of a book).

Generative AI already has some legal and ethical issues now in the Open Source community in the form of Github Copilot. If you're unfamiliar, the tool is like a souped-up version of autocomplete for programmers. The issue here is that it was trained on open source code, but much of that code was licensed under one of the GPL or other licenses which say that the code is free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute in any way, but whatever is produced must also be free to use in the same vein. This would be fine if it were also open source and free for use, but Github Copilot is a paid service.

Thoughts on the Framework laptop?

Definitely. If you're smaller than an O2 molecule, how would you ever be able to breathe one in?
