I am trying ever so hard to cultivate a positive attitude around AI. It’s hard!
Despite the avalanche of graphic monstrosities, the confident misinformation, the collapse of essay-based assessments in schools (not actually a bad thing, if it leads to more on-site, project-based learning).
I’m trying to see it as a tool that can complement (not replace) good design and knowledge management.
There was a paper shared recently about the exponential amount of training data to get incremental performance gains in #llm#ai, but I seem to have misplaced it. Do you know what I’m referring to? Mind sharing the link if you have it?
Can Generative #AI improve social science? https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2314021121?TOC_v121_i21 That's a reasonable discussion of the advantages and risks, including limited reproducibility of using LLMs.
An open AI infrastructure for LLMs seems reasonable. Maybe funding agencies can support first steps in this direction @academicchatter
