We explore the recently released ChatGPT model, one of the most powerful conversational AI models that has ever been developed. This opinion provides a perspective on its strengths and weaknesses and a call to action for the AI community (including academic researchers and industry) to work together on preventing potential misuse of such powerful AI models in our everyday lives.
