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...

Struggling with the basics of AI in #MedEd? Have the basics, but would like to do more? Then the #AMEE2025 #AI Symposium is for you! Register for Day 1 or Day 2 (or both), depending on your level. See amee.org/amee-2025/am... for registration details. #HPE @rakeshspatel.bsky.social

Ethical AI requires good information. How about Step 1: Open the Vatican Archives to all AI models for training, free of charge. Steps 2 and 3 will take care of themselves.

Ken Masters @itmeded.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

Many people (despite their claims) can't consistently drive safely, as indicated by the number of MVAs each year. Replacing them with driverless cars will help. The driverless car does not have to be 100%; it just has to be "average" and that would make it safer than 50% of all drivers.

Perhaps if #AI had written that article, it would have been worth reading. 5 minutes stolen from my life :-(.

Our track record so far, unfortunately, indicates that AI has a better chance. Even if AI's chance is 1%, it's better than we're doing.

Ken Masters @itmeded.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

No, and it was a first-time author (Not American), so I don't wish to name them publicly.

040

Ken Masters @itmeded.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

The author did not use quotation marks when characters were having a conversation, and gave no indication of who was speaking. It was impossible to follow. After 4 or 5 pages, I could not take it anymore. The only time I have physically thrown a book across the room.

Ken Masters @itmeded.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

The AMEE (Association for Medical Education in Europe) places a limit on presenters, but not on authors. This also helps a lot with logistics when running multiple streams.

Ken Masters @itmeded.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Why are you writing such short lines? Please write longer lines so that they can be easily read. (Breaking sentences over several lines does not make it a poem).

Ken Masters @itmeded.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

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.

Similarly, if your name is "Alan", it's not a good idea to shorten it to "Al".:-(.

OK, so I know this is weird, but am I the only person soooooo tempted to pronounce Bluesky as "Blu-esky". I mean, if you don't use camelCase or PascalCase when you join words, then you are just taking a chance. Maybe I'll start a movement :-)

Microsoft: Improving things by removing services. do they actually believe this bilge, or do they just hope that we are stupid? (Or do they just not care?)

Ken Masters @itmeded.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Unfortunately, often, it is intentionally so: "I have created software that does...." or "I have created software that uses AI to do..." Which one of these has the best chance of being sold? And how many people know enough about AI to ask about the AI under the hood?

Can someone please ELI5 why this seems to bother so many people? There are many activities/interests/hobbies performed by other humans that I do not wish to do, and would not spend my money doing, but, if they find it worthwhile, and it's not harming anyone, then why be bothered by it?
