@kagihq I would be much more inclined to sign up if you offered a package with NO AI.

It's not a feature. Your customers don't want it.

📣 @emilymbender & @alex join Intelligent Machines 819 to call out Big Tech's AI promises in their new book The AI Con.
They dive into:
• The danger of "stochastic parrots”
• Tech's exploitation of data
• What the future should look like

@davidgerard has me entirely convinced here that my job security is not in danger from "vibe coding" any time soon. People finding any meaningful value in the output of stochastic parrots are utterly deluded. #StochasticParrots #vibecoding

To revive appreciation of knowledge and creative work in the age of #GenAI_slop I propose we rebrand the old-school "hone your own skills" with a fancy buzzword, like:

- BRAIN (Built Right And IN)
- LLIYOM (Lesson Learned In Your Own Mind)
- more ideas into the comments, please ;-D

If you don't have at least a bit of contextual knowledge of any subject you ask AI about, you will be pawned. You will be pawned by AI hard. The usual stochastic parrot text generation looks like this:
Question
AI: Answer
Is that small part correct?
AI: Oh, you are right about that.
Further question
AI: Further Answer
What about the small detail, shouldn't it be like ... ?
AI: You are absolutely correct, let's change it so...

3/ I strongly suspect that #LLM are just optimized to pass the #Turing_test with flying colours.
I did not notice it at once because the Turing test seems very general but these #stochasticparrots are really tuned for this task. This could explain why they are so useful for #scammers and utterly #useless for John Doe when he thinks that ChaptGPT is a kind of magical search engine.

@Taweret Gemini is trying to get smarter, but adding pointless complexity still throws the Stochastic Parrot off. Query:

"which has more mass three times two minus one pounds of potatoes or two times three minus one pounds of steel"

Response:

"**The potatoes have more mass**. Three times two minus one pounds of potatoes is 5 pounds. Two times three minus one pounds of steel is also 5 pounds. Since steel is denser than potatoes, the same amount of mass by weight (pounds) in steel will take up less space (volume) than the same amount of mass by weight in potatoes."

Via LiLaBi kam gerade eine Veranstaltungsankündigung rein, über die ich mich sehr freue:

Zerstörerischer KI-Bullshit – Warum ChatGPT mit den „sozialen“ Medien als Resonanzraum Rechtsextremismus befördert und Ungleichheit vergrößert

Wann? 3. März 2025, 20:00 Uhr
Wo? Extra Blues Bar, Kreuzstraße 6, 33602 Bielefeld

#Capulcu ist ein Kollektiv, das mir für hochwertige Broschüren zum Thema #digitaleSelbstverteidigung bekannt ist. Jetzt haben sie sich des KI-Hypes angenommen:

Band VI – Debunk – Kritik an KI

Inhalt der Broschüre:

1. Die Goldgräber der Künstlichen Intelligenz
2. Klima: Das grüne Vehikel für die KI-Offensive
3. ChatGPT als Hegemonieverstärker
4. Chipproduktion in der Multikrise – Die materielle Seite künstlicher Intelligenz

I'm only finished with the first chapter --and with going through all of the supplementary material for chapter one that's hyperlinked in the instructor guide, which I think should be mandatory rather than supplementary-- but I'm already convinced that this class (and its supplementary materials) should be a requirement for CS majors at least, if not for engineers and "STEM"-type majors in general.

The Stochastic Parrots paper, in particular, is excellent. Two of that paper's listed authors (Emily Bender @emilymbender, Angelina McMillan-Major) hail from the University of Washington. Not surprising then, I suppose, that the folks behind this class/course/curriculum/website also hail from there: Carl Bergstrom (@ct_bergstrom) and Jevin West (@jevinwest@x.com). Those two are also members of a broader effort from that same university called the Center for an Informed Public (@uwcip).

"Moreover, while #GenAI can improve worker efficiency, it can inhibit critical engagement with work and can potentially lead to long-term overreliance on the tool and diminished skill for independent problem-solving. Higher confidence in GenAI’s ability to perform a task is related to less critical thinking effort"
