Consumer AI arrived with a bang in November 2022 when OpenAI released ChatGPT. Within four months it hit 1 billion users, and media pundits were forecasting the end of jobs and a knowledge revolution.

But its actual impact has been far different from what pundits predicted. Ethan Mollick has been a leading voice cutting through both the AI evangelists and the AI doommongers, by charting and explaining how Consumer AI is developing, what it can do well and also - importantly - what it can't. Considering AI as a coworker, a teacher, an expert, and even as a companion, Mollick grapples with the philosophical, social, and economic implications of integrating artificial intelligence into society and culture and offers reassurance about the role and responsibility of humans in directing and protecting against AI.

This is the indispensable -- and understandable -- guide to working with ubiquitous and near-omniscient AI. Always insightful and clearsighted, Mollick opens our eyes to both the dangers and opportunities of the AI revolution.

To put it in ChatGPT's own words, this book is about "how to open your mind to these different kinds of intelligence. How to ask them smart questions that will reveal their wisdom and avoid their lies. How to learn from them without losing your identity or autonomy. How to benefit from them without being exploited or threatened by them."
