## AI overview

An opinion article presents ChatGPT's explanation of cloud computing and evaluates it as broad and polished but lacking depth. It argues that AI and machine-learning tools are more likely to augment people than replace them, while the supplied excerpt describes cloud computing's on-demand access to shared resources and benefits such as scalability, flexibility, and efficiency.

## Source excerpt

DALL-E picture generated from the answer. I was curious, given all the ChatGPT love, what it would make of some of our favorite topics. I was both impressed and unimpressed. Impressed. ChatGPT instantly generated an response that might make a good answer in a Miss Universe contest. You know, the kind of answer delivered with a radiant smile calculated to offend no one yet still sounds comprehensive and deep. Unimpressed. The answers are a mile wide and an inch deep. There's not a lot of insight. It's more of a zeitgeist oracle. Nothing wrong with that, but I don't think we'll be unemployed soon. It's as many have predicted about AI/ML. These are tools to augment us, flawed humans, not replace us...yet. Thank you for agreeing to be interviewed today. You're welcome! I'm happy to answer any questions you have. Please go ahead and ask your first question. Explain cloud computing to me at a professional level? Cloud computing is a model of computing that delivers computing services over the internet, including storage, data processing, and networking. It allows users to access and use shared computing resources, such as servers, storage, and applications, on demand and without the need to manage the underlying infrastructure. This model of computing has become increasingly popular in recent years, as it offers a number of benefits, including cost savings, flexibility, scalability, and increased efficiency. Additionally, cloud computing allows for greater collaboration and innovation, as it enables users to access and share data and resources from anywhere, at any time. Can you expand? Certainly. Cloud computing has become a widely-used model of computing, as it offers a number of benefits over traditional, on-premises computing systems. One of the key benefits of cloud computing is its scalability, which allows users to easily and quickly scale up or down their use of computing resources, depending on their changing needs. This means that users only pay for the computin
