Wish to use #LLMs to process sensitive data, but concerned about privacy? Try locally-hosted SMALL LMs. To find out how, see our just-published paper on the topic. doi.org/10.1080/0142... #MedEd #HPE #Ollama #AI

Do you use polite language when speaking to an #LLM? There may be a good reason to do so. See our short blog post in MedEdPublish mededpublish.org/blog/polite-... #AI #HPE #MedEd

Bravo, for having a brain and using it! Yes, we would all be illiterate but for the repetition and feedback learning that allows us to write. #AI is just another form of communication!

In an age of GenAI, is the Academic Author dead? Should we focus on research and leave the writing to the AI? A future in which: “We research; GenAI writes” #MedEd #HPE See my just-published: “AI and the Death of the Academic Author.” doi.org/10.1080/0142...

Statement: "We created a modified #GPT #AI model and implemented Retrieval-Augmented Generation (#RAG) to improve accuracy." Translation: "We created a Custom GPT, uploaded some documents/linked to a website, and told it to look only at those when answering questions."

A really useful and succinct explanation of why "objectivity" is always laced with some degree of subjectivity. That does not render it useless, but it does require that one be aware of the inherent subjectivity.
