Likewise, media coverage of human-AI interaction \u2013 whether paranoid or starry-eyed \u2013 tends to emphasize its newness. In one sense, it is undeniably new. Interactions with ChatGPT can feel unprecedented, as when a tech journalist&nbsp;couldn\u2019t get a chatbot to stop declaring its love for him. In my view, however, the boundary between humans and machines, in terms of the way we interact with one another, is fuzzier than most people would care to admit, and this fuzziness accounts for a good deal of the discourse swirling around ChatGPT. When I\u2019m asked to check a box to confirm I\u2019m not a robot, I don\u2019t give it a second thought \u2013 of course, I\u2019m not a robot. On the other hand, when my email client suggests a word or phrase to complete my sentence or when my phone guesses the next word I\u2019m about to text, I start to doubt myself. Is that what I meant to say? Would it have occurred to me if the application hadn\u2019t suggested it? Am I part robot? These large language models have been trained on massive amounts of \u201cnatural\u201d human language. Does this make the robots part human? AI chatbots are new, but public debates over language change are not.
