Machine learning, computer vision, fun things. Annoyed by the hype.

New video! This covers the fundamentals of quantum computing and builds up to a step-by-step walk-through of an important algorithm in the field. youtu.be/RQWpF2Gb-gU

Tuesday's Great Chatbot Debate, now on CHM's YouTube channel. I answered the question by providing a definition of "understanding" and showing why LLMs don't understand and why it can seem like they do. >> youtu.be/YtIQVaSS5Pg?...

If you're interested in language, AI, and cognition, this is the *must-watch* video of the week: Debate a few days ago between Dr. @emilymbender.bsky.social and Dr. @sbubeck.bsky.social on whether chatbots can "understand". Was a lively and fun debate to watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtIQ...

REFLECTIONS ON AI IN THE CLASSROOM:
How We are Not Using Al in the Classroom
By Sonja Drimmer & Christopher J. Nygren
Premise
Prompt engineering is a term that has become commonplace since the widespread availability of generative Al applications like ChatGPT. The idea is that the outputs of the large language models (LLMs) on which these applications are based are only as good as the prompts that are input: vague prompts result in equally vague outputs. And thus was born the race to train for careers in prompt engineering. Unfortunately, the bubble seems to have burst before even the first generation of students was trained for this career outcome.
We were given a prompt as an invitation to participate in this newsletter: "How are you using Al in the classroom?" While we have accepted this invitation, we are engaging in the most humanistic act we can imagine—refusing the prompt.”

The Great Chatbot Debate
Chatbots based on large language models (LLMs), like ChatGPT, answer sophisticated questions, pass professional exams, analyze texts, generate everything from poems to computer programs, and more. But...

Don't fall for the AI hype, take this course to get a better understanding of what LLMs can and cannot do.
