ChatGPT is confronting, but humans have always adapted to new technology – ask the Mesopotamians, who invented writing

"Adapting to technological advances is a defining part of 21st-century life.
But it’s not unique to us: it’s been part of the human story since our earliest
written records – even featuring in the plotlines of ancient myths and legends.

While ChatGPT threatens to change writing (and writing-related work) as we know
it, the Mesopotamians, who lived 4,000 years ago (in a geographical area
centred in modern-day Iraq), went through this kind of seismic change before
us. Their civilisation is credited with the invention of writing."
