Altman Says AI’s Effect on Society Could Be Like Photoshop ‘On Steroids’

Altman acknowledges rapidly growing concerns over AI’s potential to deceive users through sophisticated chatbots and deepfakes. Though he admitted he was “concerned,” Altman said society expressed a similar type of phenomenon with Adobe’s Photoshop image editing tool.
“I think people are able to adapt quickly,” Altman said. “When Photoshop came onto the scene a long time ago, for a while people were really quite fooled by photoshopped images but then pretty quickly developed an understanding that images might be photoshopped. This will be like that but on steroids.
