It was not the students' use of a #ChatBot that was the problem, but they were using material found on the internet that itself was created by a hallucinating ChatBot and published without verification!
This is a type of model collapse we will be dealing with not just at universities in the near future.
"...'Lee', the first AI chatbot for Chinese New Year celebrations in the country, was developed by the Chinese Association of Southampton and AI innovator #Enigmatica.
"The new technology is said to be a 'significant step forward' in cultural education and is designed to be a comprehensive guide to the festival..."
Whenever an org says it wants to use ‘AI’ for a better customer experience, it is almost certainly lying.
Customers are not clamoring for shitty chat bots that extend the time to get to a real human. Customers are not asking for LLM-authored SEO-driven FAQ pages. Customers are not asking for yet more hero images of people with extra fingers.
The org is likely only interested in using ‘AI’ to reduce effort, save money, cut staff.
An international delivery service may want to teach its chatbot some manners. The AI bot appears to have used profanity and called the company the “worst delivery firm in the world” after prompting by a frustrated customer. Here’s more from Time, including how the exchange “symbolizes bigger issues as artificial intelligence has infiltrated every area of life.” https://flip.it/J.Ureu #Tech#Technology#AI#Chatbot
De Britse tak van bezorgdienst #DPD heeft de Kunstmatige Intelligentie (#AI)-functie van de chatbot op zijn website offline gehaald. Een gefrustreerde klant liet de #chatbot met behulp van AI een gedicht schrijven over de in zijn ogen slechte service van de bezorgdienst. Het gedicht kreeg duizenden likes op X.
Die neuste Schlagzeile von @tonline wundert uns nicht! Wie die Suchmaschine #Bing spuckt auch der darauf basierende #Chatbot Microsoft Copilot Falschinformationen aus. Das konnten wir auch in unserer Studie zu den Wahlen in Hessen, Bayern & in der Schweiz zeigen, die aufdeckt, wie unzuverlässig Informationen von KI-Chatbots sein können. ⬇️ https://algorithmwatch.org/de/schlussbericht-microsoft-bing-chat/
Adversaries can deliberately confuse or even “poison” artificial intelligence (AI) systems to make them malfunction — and there’s no foolproof defense that their developers can employ.
datasets used to train an AI are far too large for people to successfully monitor and filter, there is no foolproof way as yet to protect AI from misdirection
Due to Telegram updating their API our precious CalmBot was unable to fetch bottles from the digital ocean for us. We fixed this issue today and we also gave CalmBot a new server to live on. CalmBot is a bot with focus on wellness and is available for Revolt and Telegram. More information here. https://telegra.ph/CalmBot-Documentation-05-18
Der österreichische Arbeitsmarktservice hat einen auf ChatGPT basierenden „Berufsinfomat“ eingeführt, der zu Berufsbildern informieren soll. Stattdessen erweist er sich als Lehrbuch-Beispiel dafür, welche Schwächen eine Behörde mit so einer Technologie in Kauf nimmt.
As I'm teaching this term for the first time since the #AI#chatbot revolution, I feel I need to add a course policy on use of generative AI for coursework. Here's what I've come up with...
> "Manchmal liefern Chatbots fehlerhafte Antworten. Diese Erfahrung hat nach eigenen Angaben auch Donald Trumps ehemaliger Anwalt Michael Cohen gemacht. Zumindest erklärte er so vor Gericht Falschinformationen."
Hier ein Versuch der #ThreadOfThreads-Idee: Je einen 🧵 für Englisch und Deutsch über jeden meiner Fediverse-Threads.
Initial starte ich mit der Liste der #Top10 meistgelesenen Artikel von mir. Viel Spass beim #FeiertagsLesen!
🔟 Nicht wirklich «Responsible Disclosure»: Die Extraportion Spam über die Festtage (2023-12)
Noch keine zwei Tage alt und schafft es schon in die #TopTen, wow!
2️⃣ Die KI ChatGPT und die Herausforderungen für die Gesellschaft (2023-01) #ChatGPT war gerade zwei Monate jung, als ich diesen Artikel schrieb und zusammenfasste, was wir damals über grosse Sprachmodelle wussten. Erstaunlich, wie viele Aussagen auch heute noch (grösstenteils) gültig sind. Auch wenn wir inzwischen viel mehr wissen. Weiterhin ein guter Start in die Materie. #LLM#GenAI#Chatbot https://dnip.ch/2023/01/28/die-ki-chatgpt-und-die-herausforderungen-fuer-die-gesellschaft/

So I just used Google's #Bard#chatbot for the first time. #School and #education are now completely different for our kids. We're going to need to change the ENTIRE system immediately. I just had Bard create a 5 paragraph, cited report about the Great Pyramid -- something that took my 6th grader two weeks to research and write -- and it's perfect. Took 5 minutes for me to figure out how to use and prompt it to get what I was looking for: a way better version of what he will be turning in. The traditional #English and/or #Writing coursework should be considered dead from a functional aptitude perspective. Those subjects should be associated/grouped with #art electives. Take that time in #class and dedicate all of it to teaching them about how the #internet and #ai works.
