Abstract
November 2022, ChatGPT, a powerful chat-like AI tool, was created by a company named Open AI. ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM) and a subset of machine learning that can identify, condense, translate, predict, and produce text. The large language model (LLM), sometimes called “autocomplete on steroids,” has drawn attention for its ability to present human-like answers to queries. Its work has received passing grades on university law and business exams and has been used in a Colombian court to help decide a legal ruling. Academia has expressed concern as to AI's potential to undermine the education system or contribute to academic dishonesty if students use the technology in place of their thoughts, opinions, and research. Moreover, journal editors, researchers, and publishers are now debating the place of such AI tools in the published literature and whether it's appropriate to cite the bot as an author. This chapter explores ChatGPT and its impact on librarianship, academia, scholarly research, the workplace, and other entities.
