The developments of the last hours from @OpenAI - the #GPTchat - the craziest chatbot ever, are mind-blowing.

🪡 Brace yourself for what this does for #ClimatePolicy:

I asked it 'what makes good climate legislation'. It answered, in seconds, with machine generated text:

Ok, I thought, amazing! Though a bit light touch and generic. I pressed 'try again'. Whoa sweet baby! It gave me multi-sectoral approach! affected commuties! Science based! Coordination! Transparency!

How much can we push it for actual policy measures?! Let's inquire about incentives for renewable energy.
Ready?! I'm not sure you are:

Ok. At this point I'm beyond words. I ask it to tell me about successful renewable policies in Asia and how much investment those facilitated.
It answers:
4/10 ImageImage
I WANT IT TO COMPARE STUFF NOW. IT DOES.

But I'm tempted to press try again for that one too. It delivers:

Hmmm can I get it to write a law? @bryworthington has been dreaming of this:
ARE YOU SITTING? Do you have triple shot of whisky handy? It wrote a law. 🥃🥃🥃 Le'chaim.

To summarise: the last hours, the internet has exploded with people throwing crazy questions at #GPTchat (don't even get it started on cats..). I'm beyond convinced that it is about to revolutionise the world of climate law and policy research and policymaking.

It'll be amazing, it'll be amusing, it'll be mega-efficient, & it will come with a whole bag of horrors to consider. We'll have to test, verify, anti-bias and all the things - and it'll still be scary. The utopia-dystopia divide isn't a simplistic crossroad. We'll have both.
9/10
Our responsibility (all of us, but users of large language models, & we at @climatepolradar in particular) is to actively play a role in making sure that this technology is used for good. We'll be thinking a lot about how we can do that & welcome thoughts & collaborations.

11/10 A few months ago, @L_P_Jones asked #GPT3 (the older sibling of #GPchat) the big question, and I'm not sure if he was pleased with the answer, or whether he preferred early retirement and cocktails on the beach 🍹🏖️
