LLM links of the moment

RT Stephanie King @stephstephking@mstdn.social

BECAUSE WE PAID ATTENTION TO SARAH CONNOR IN T2, YOU ABSOLUTE KNOBS

BBC: Why are fewer women using AI than men?

RT Simon Willison @simon@simonwillison.net

New LLM paper highlighting quite how weird and ridiculous these things are https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.11760

Adding "it's important to my career" can produce better results, across every model they tested!

RT zellyn @zellyn@hachyderm.io

@simon I suspect that it's because these things are trained on the internet, which is 90% bad takes on things! Any kind of signifier that the answer is likely to be "expert" or "well considered" is thus likely to bias towards better answers.

I would expect: "I found this answer on a forum where only licensed medical doctors can post:" to have a positive effect.

And possibly, "Please don't reply unless you have personal experience with this problem: I've had enough answers that were guesses!"

All <cite>ed text will point to the Flutterby knowledge base. Two enters (ie: a blank line) gets you a new paragraph, special treatment for paragraphs that are manually indented or start with "#" (as in "#include" or "#!/usr/bin/perl"), "/* " or ">" (as in a quoted message) or look like lists, or within a paragraph you can use a number of HTML tags:

p, img, br, hr, a, sub, sup, tt, i, b, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, cite, em, strong, code, samp, kbd, pre, blockquote, address, ol, dl, ul, dt, dd, li, dir, menu, table, tr, td, th

Comment policy

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
