Last year, Sam Altman invited author Dave Eggers to give a talk to around 200 OpenAI staffers. According to the Financial Times, Eggers told the staff that "the effect of ChatGPT on educators’ lives is catastrophic," adding, "whether you intended to do it or not, you’ve made every teacher’s life infinitely more difficult than it was two years ago." He stated that if students use ChatGPT to compose, "they’ll never learn to write" and "their voice is stolen from them," concluding, "that’s silencing an entire generation or two."
