In my capacity as CEO of ConnectSafely, I’m working on a parents guide to generative AI, and, naturally, I turned to ChatGPT for some help. It gave me some good advice, which I’ll get to later, but first some general background on “generative artificial intelligence” (GAI).

AI has been around for a long time, but generative AI, which can create new content, including text, images, music and even computer code, is relatively new. Just in the past few months we’ve seen the emergence of some impressive early models including ChatGPT from OpenAI, Google Bard and the new Microsoft Bing. Each of these relies on what is called a “large language model” that accesses and analyzes vast amounts of data that it finds online and uses it to generate new content. Microsoft’s Bing AI is a major investor in OpenAI, whose technology is used in its Bing AI product.
