Are we now in another arms race? ChatGPT has opened the door to learning and rapid development. Of course that also applies to less "positive" scenarios, like writing malware or ensnaring unsuspecting individuals. The solution that will be proposed will be two pronged. The tech companies behind AI will propose using AI itself to detect and combat these nefarious use cases (when all you have is a hammer ...). Then the governments will attempt to bring in legislation and hobble the technology itself (there's the barn door being closed). The real problem is the societal imbalances across the world. And that isn't going to be something we'll solve any time soon.
