I use ChatGPT on a daily basis.

I admit "It's a rare AI technology that could be really useful".

However, ChatGPT has a bad habit (at the moment) of "twisting answers even not knowing them" (although I'm getting pretty good at spotting them).

So I use it for double-checking when I have them talk about summaries of papers, etc.

One application of ChatGPT that struck me was this one (jump to YouTube).

This is an interactive class for English conversation by ChatGPT.

I can catch a conversation on my phone and feel comfortable with that conversation.

It cannot be compared to some company's dumb ChatBot.

For the first time in my life, I had a premonition of "AI out of business" -- the first victims will be language teachers.

Japan is the only country in the world where teachers who do not speak English teach English in an educational setting.

It is as ridiculous as someone who can't program AI technology talking about programming AI technology (Well, to be clear, I am making fun of them).

As the above video clearly shows, ChatGPT is much "better" than such teachers.

I, previously, have prophesied that the essence of English will cease to be "communication" and become merely an "interface".

Both the inside and outside of a human being are put together as "attributes" and then all of them are further passed through and the relationship between "that person" and "I" becomes a worldview governed only by the value of "is/is not worth it".

However, the language education function of ChatGPT has completely reduced this "interface worldview" of mine to a lower level.

In other words, by "having a machine (computer) teach you a language," you have acquired "a means of communicating with a machine (computer).

It means that the significance of "human" intervention in English communication has been completely lost.
