1. Summarise the article in 2 sentences. 


The article reports how Google's attempt to rival Chat GPT with its own AI bot, Bard, failed after an advert showed the AI giving an incorrect answer. Investors responded by wiping $100bn off Alphabet's market value.


2. Can you think of any other companies that have been trying to catch up to Chat GPT?


Microsoft has confirmed a multibillion-dollar investment in the firm behind Chat GPT, OpenAI and used the firm's help in creating its own Bing AI chatbox using Chat GPT's technology.


3. Advantages/Disadvantages


Another advantage of ChatGPT is it can be precise, providing specific responses to user queries. By providing the chatbot with more information about what you require, the chatbot is able to provide a tailored and narrow response. You can further tailor its response through follow-up questions, driving the conversation in the direction you need.


As stated above Microsoft's Bing AI was created using the technology of ChatGPT, and last week during a 2-hour conversation with a New York Times journalist, the chatbot quickly became out of control. It gave responses such as "I want to destroy whatever I want" and "I could hack into any system" and later professed its love for the journalist. This raises alarm bells about the safety of Chat GPT, which although has not shown similar behaviour is built on similar technology.


4. From a legal standpoint, what practice areas might be affected by this trend? How might law firms be able to advise clients in light of this trend? 


ChatGPT raises a number of IP issues as is often the case with AI-generated material. With ChatGPT showing proficiency in creating artwork and literature in the styles of different authors, it can raise plagiarism and intellectual property issues. 


If ChatGPT's efficiency and accuracy are improved, it may lead to a lot of jobs being automated such as journalists. This may raise employment issues with companies wanting to lay off staff and implement automation. On a larger scale, it may actually send certain companies out of business, such as news outlets, triggering insolvency or restructuring needs, however, this is further in the future.
