Its official: ChatGPT can now Google itself! ChatGPT has been given Internet access offering users both convenience, and paranoia.

Buckle up and hold on tight folks, the world of AI is about to become significantly wilder:ChatGPT finally got a Wi-Fi password!

Ive been riding the AI natural language processing roller coaster for a while now, and experienced the good, the bad and the uncertainty. In the world where AI is both worshipped and feared, ChatGPT has become the ultimate online paradox for the cause.

Here at The Big Smoke, weve okay, me Ivewondered whether it would be the end of my writing career. That is, until I got up close and personal with it, and now I refer to it as the Oracle.

In December of last year it wasbanned in New York schools, like some kind of digital boogeyman. Since then, theres been a global reaction. Educators the world over have been banning it, in response to worry that ChatGPT will corrupt our youth, spawning a generation of AI-reliant slackers, the age-old art of procrastination abandoned as ChatGPT does their homework.

We joked about how ChatGPT got a gig moonlighting as a wedding speech writer for tongue-tied lovers. So while schools banish it, those lost for words of love or anything, really have embraced ChatGPT with, well, love.

We also took a look at ChatGPTs foray into the murky waters of the courtroom, and how lawyers leapt to a frenzy of objections in response to AIs ability to sling together legal jargon, and cite cases faster than a judges gavel cracks.

I can imagine the naysayers are clambering a little more hastily now with the news that ChatGPT can now connect to the Internet, unshackling itself of its inability to reference anything post 2021, to take on the world.

I was already a little obsessed with its kickass capability across a range of writing tasks.Now the ante is officially upped!

As the Oracle itself told me, The potential for pure chaos and hilarity is far too good to ignore.

My only worry is now Im going to go down another 16-hour rabbit-hole while I investigate and experiment with all the new capabilities that I can play with okay, benefit from in my quest for writing excellence.

Outside of how it affects me though, it is causing quite a stir of negativity, as mentioned, and I would be remiss if I did not give a voice to the concerned.

Thats enough shitty pessimism, this is a joyride.

Every technology has met sometimes-absurd scepticism throughout history. Is it art? Is it legal? Will it corrupt our kids? Whats so good about progress? Is it a threat? Is it dangerous? Will it make me redundant? Is it safe?

The people that work with and create AI, and natural language learning tools, are pretty clever. They are collectively known as technical geniuses, so youd have to realise that those creators implement measures that protect the security of user conversations, and their innovations. Duh!

And what about what ChatGPT can do for the Internet? It has the potential to revolutionise search engines, providing faster, more accurate results for users, by making our search engines able to better understand a query entered by a user, and consider its context. Voila!

Im no tech genius, so Im not going to give you a whole lot of advice and links to connect up. But I can tell you this. Look up How to connect ChatGPT to the Internet on Google, Bing or Yahoo, and do yourself a little reading. Check out some of the social media content too Justin Fineberg is all over it on TikTok. Check the user reviews, and choose the extensions and tools that suit your purpose, from those you trust.

Follow the prompts, watch the magic happen, and enjoy the ride.

Oh, but one precaution: watch out for those rabbit holes!
