1. Reject or accept?
When New York public schools banned students from using ChatGPT to write papers, Wharton Business School professor Ethan Mollick began to encourage his students to use ChatGPT to write papers.

Just imagine, when all students can use ChatGPT to write papers, will there be a significant difference in their scores? There will definitely be differences. Although the average score will rise, some people must have an A in their thesis, and someone must have a C in their thesis, because different people have different abilities to call ChatGPT.
This principle is equivalent to using Baidu to search for something with your graduate tutor. In many cases, the results you find are not as accurate and reliable as your tutor's.
As Michael Taylor, founder of British marketing firm Ladder, puts it: “When you can create anything you want, your ability to express [what that is] becomes important.

2. The ability to control AI
In my opinion, the gap between people in the future is our ability to use AI creatively. Regarding this ability, I can make a metaphor:
One day, the three got Aladdin's magic lamp. Aladdin's lamp told them: "I can grant each of you a wish.
A said: "I want 10 billion property." So, he became a billionaire.
B said: "I hope you will grant me 100 more wishes. Therefore, he has the ability to awaken the divine power countless times.
C said: "I want to have the same magical ability as you. So, he himself became the god of Allah.
AI is equivalent to an Aladdin magic lamp, you can use AI to meet most of your needs. But how to maximize the capabilities of AI does not depend on the capabilities of AI, but on our ability to use AI. This era, I call it "The Age of Aladdin".
3. How to have the ability to control AI
Our ability to control AI can be divided into three dimensions:
1. Access to AI
Access to AI is an important indicator of future widening class gaps.
The earliest class divisions were determined by descent. For example, in ancient India, human rights and ranks were determined by caste, and Brahmins were born as nobles. Later, knowledge also became a factor of class division. Your education background and the university you went to, in a sense, determine your future prospects.
In the future, it is the access rights of AI that determine class.
Your opportunities to contact, use, and develop AI determine how much resources you can obtain and how much wealth you can create. Assuming that AI is Aladdin's magic lamp, what you can get will be very different if you make a wish once a year and make 365 wishes a year.
2. Your professionalism
Suppose you and an architect use ChatGPT to design a house, the design plan that the architect got from ChatGPT must be more professional than yours.
Many people think that with the advent of the AI era, people's thinking will become lazier, because AI can solve many brain problems for you. But in fact, AI will make some people more professional and enterprising. Because the more professional you are, the stronger your ability to mobilize AI. At the same time, AI will also have stronger empowerment for you, forming a two-way evolutionary relationship between you and AI.
Therefore, experts in the era of artificial intelligence will be more valuable than today's experts.
3. Your imagination
We mentioned the access rights of AI before, that is, the future human rights will determine the class gap between you and others. Because the calculation of AI consumes computing power, computing power is simply "money"
Big companies, big consortia, and rich people with computing power will have more AI access rights than ordinary people, which will form a greater class gap and polarization between rich and poor.
But fortunately, the number of visits to AI and the value you can mine from AI are not completely positively correlated.
Let's assume a scenario: a father intends to use AI to teach his children historical knowledge.
The first solution is that he describes the historical knowledge he hopes to teach children as a simple demand, and let AI compile it into an audio book.
The second option is to let ChatGPT collect the data of historical figures, and then write a voice chat software to let AI pretend to be historical figures to interact with children.
Obviously, the creativity of Option 2 is better than that of Option 1. Moreover, this is a real case.
The Swedish company Facing lt has developed an AI software called HelloHistory, which allows ChatGPT to become a historical figure to interact with you. Here, you can chat with Aristotle, and you can also become a soulmate with Madame Curie. The real-time interaction makes people feel "immersive", and you will fall in love with history more easily.
So, to sum up, the right of access to AI represents fairness, your professionalism represents hard work, and your imagination represents ability. It seems that there is no essential difference between the society in the AI era and the current society. Injustice still exists in the future society, and extra efforts are still required, but imagination has never been as important as in the AI era, determining the fate of countless ordinary people.
