Clever clogs

I was experimenting with ChatGPT, I asked it a question about the Old Testament book of Leviticus, because I am currently studying it. It generated this answer: 

The Book of Leviticus is the third book of the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament. It consists of laws and regulations related to worship, sacrifices, and ritual purity, as well as ethical and moral principles. Leviticus was likely compiled over several centuries and serves as a continuation of the story of the Israelites' liberation from slavery in Egypt as recorded in the Book of Exodus.

Leviticus is primarily concerned with the establishment of the priesthood and the proper way to conduct worship in the Tabernacle and later the Temple. The book describes the various types of offerings that were required for atonement of sins and for thanksgiving, as well as regulations for the consecration of priests and the observance of holy days.

The laws and regulations in Leviticus were intended to help the Israelites maintain their covenant with God and to distinguish themselves as a holy people. These laws were also meant to promote social justice and to ensure that the community lived in harmony with each other and with God.

Overall, Leviticus provides a detailed account of the religious and ethical practices of ancient Israel and provides important context for understanding the development of Jewish worship and tradition.

This new technology is showing early promise, but also potential risk factors. Sourabh Kulesh of the Times of India writes that Internet users must be aware that in the wrong hands, it can be used for phishing and creating malware. 

Students using it to submit plagiarised essays is also a potential problem. 

Caveat emptor.
