Despite the drawbacks to the platform, it will almost certainly improve and change rapidly as the system is further developed and improved.
So how does this play out in the world of marine surveying and the wider maritime world? Let me start by quoting from a frankly staggering and frightening article entitled “Ship captain believes ChatGPT told him to change course” written by John Konrad that was published on the gCaptain website.
Here’s an extract from the article:
“gCaptain has obtained a troubling report from an American captain, who claims that a shipowner utilized an AI bot, potentially ChatGPT, to suggest modifications to the ship’s voyage plan. While the captain chose not to adhere to the recommendations, they are concerned that others may not exercise the same caution.
“The captain composed a message with his concerns and emailed it to the shipowner for guidance. The captain received a quick reply. He informed gCaptain that the first and final paragraphs of the message contained pleasantries and appears to be written by a human, but the advice on how to mitigate risk “sounds like an AI wrote it”. This message included advice that would have required a course change during the voyage.
“At this point, it’s difficult to prove the message was created by an AI, but it’s certainly in a style similar to that produced by AI.”

It will not surprise you to learn that I have personally tested ChatGPT partly for business use, but also for fun by asking it to write poems and indeed it delivered beautifully crafted and linguistically impressive verse which I could never have managed.
I’d like to share with you some of the recent conversations I have had with ChatGPT.
