The Gokyo lakes Trek is considered to be moderately difficult. As most of the trek itineraries include 5 to 6 hours of a daily walk, one needs to be in good shape and stamina for this trek. The rugged trails, steep terrains, and high passes make this trek more challenging.

Also, since this is a high altitude trek, you’ll be trekking to a height of around 5000m and more during the trek. Since the air is quite thin at these altitudes, altitude sickness affects many individuals.

The weather and temperature also determine the Gokyo Lake Trek difficulty. The weather in the mountainous regions changes frequently without any warning. Thus, frequent change in the climatic condition can make your trek more difficult.

Similarly, rain and snowfall can also add to your Gokyo Lake Trek difficulty. Sometimes the snow-covered trails can cause navigating issues, especially if you are traveling without a guide. Also, temperatures tend to fall rapidly in high elevated areas, and if you happen to travel, especially in winter, the weather becomes freezing.

    Geoffrey Hinton, one of the “fathers of AI”, voiced concerns
    that future AI systems may surpass human intelligence.
    In May 2024, OpenAI removed accounts involving the use of ChatGPT by state-backed influence operations such as China’s Spamouflage, Russia’s Doppelganger, and Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism.
    OpenAI said it has taken steps to effectively clarify and address the issues raised; an age
    verification tool was implemented to ensure users are at least
    13 years old. In late March 2023, the Italian data
    protection authority banned ChatGPT in Italy and opened an investigation. A shadow market has emerged for
    Chinese users to get access to foreign software tools.
    Stanford researchers reported that GPT-4 “passes a rigorous Turing test, diverging from average human behavior chiefly to be more cooperative.”
    The chatbot can assist patients seeking clarification about their health.
    This has led to concern over the rise of what
    has come to be called “synthetic media” and “AI slop” which are generated
    by AI and rapidly spread over social media and the internet.
    Between March and April 2023, Il Foglio published one ChatGPT-generated article a day on its website,
    hosting a special contest for its readers in the process.

    In an industry survey, cybersecurity professionals argued
    that it was attributable to cybercriminals’ increased use of generative artificial intelligence (including ChatGPT).
    Chris Granatino, a librarian at Seattle University,
    noted that while ChatGPT can generate content that seemingly includes legitimate
    citations, in most cases those citations are not real or largely incorrect.
