Getting nervous for the talk I'm about to give at a workshop about "using AI to drive impact" which features slides such as these.

Slide is titled: You don't need to use LLMs.

Science is a process of collaborative meaning making, by which we try to understand the world

Even if AI were perfect, we rely on it at our peril — it is not science if we (i.e., humanity as a whole) do not understand and cannot recapitulate all parts of it

I very, very rarely use LLMs myself. You can give yourself permission not to. Don’t FOMO yourself into it

Conclusion: Don't rely on something you don't understand and can't control

If you must use LLMS:

1. Treat them like you would an intern: only use them for things you can easily and thoroughly check

2. Make your process as robust as possible

3. Be aware of your own (human) cognitive biases

"More than the sums of it's parts" - A discussion on "complexity being key" which I had with @amburns.bsky.social just today over lunch. And which is very relevant to consider for some very complex data I am currently analysing. Great! Love it when things align - I look forward to read the article!

So-called objective metrics in academia disadvantage women. Letters of reference for women tend to have less stand-out adjectives. Women's papers are cited less, their grants are smaller on avg & their papers have a harder time getting past reviewers. www.livescience.com/human-behavi...
