Seeing a big uptake in use in the education sector. Teachers paying for their own ChatGPT pro license to lesson plan etc.

Can't comment at this point if that's right or wrong, you hope the teachers using it would identify hallucinations etc. But you can see there is already a change occurring.

Because they don't know how to use it.

I work for the government and we're trialing Copilot too.

Yesterday I gave copilot several legal documents and our departments long term goals and asked to analyse those documents and find opportunities, legal complications and a matrix of proposed actions.

In less than 5 minutes I have a great overview to start talks with local politicians. This would have taken me at least a day before AI.
