#stochasticparrots — Public Fediverse posts

@bluetea @Urban_Hermit @Numerfolt @Andres4NY @paninid Is this tacit acceptance of the use of plagiarism-by-chatbot common across academia now? It seems to me toxic to the whole project of education.

RE: https://mastodon.green/@gerrymcgovern/115650272749921009

One of this article's many great points: Using #GenAI is a "metacognitive mirage".

> When participants used #ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed [-47%] in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, and critical reasoning. Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged
> Students aren’t just learning less; their brains are learning not to learn.

#Chatversity replaces learning with cheating.

Were you hoping to see @emilymbender in conversation with @Kobotic in Melbs at #RMIT courtesy of #Readings but they were sold out?

Good news, they've moved to Storey Hall which is 4 x the capacity.

If you hate the #AI hype as much as I do and generally think of AI as bullshit generation and epistemic violence then you will love this.

If you loved the #StochasticParrots paper, you will love this.

I try and use the #BenderRule (Bender, 2019) in every talk I give - "state the language in which you practice" - because English is only 1 of 7000 other languages spoken in the world.

Via LiLaBi kam gerade eine Veranstaltungsankündigung rein, über die ich mich sehr freue:

Zerstörerischer KI-Bullshit – Warum ChatGPT mit den „sozialen“ Medien als Resonanzraum Rechtsextremismus befördert und Ungleichheit vergrößert

Wann? 3. März 2025, 20:00 Uhr
Wo? Extra Blues Bar, Kreuzstraße 6, 33602 Bielefeld

#Capulcu ist ein Kollektiv, das mir für hochwertige Broschüren zum Thema #digitaleSelbstverteidigung bekannt ist. Jetzt haben sie sich des KI-Hypes angenommen:

Band VI – Debunk – Kritik an KI

Inhalt der Broschüre:

1. Die Goldgräber der Künstlichen Intelligenz

In further evidence of the very concept of intellectualism crumbling before our eyes, Geoffrey Hinton has been awarded a #NobelPrize in .... #Physics.

🙄

Hinton is a key purveyor of the #ExistentialThreats of #AI, AKA the #Singularity. Absolutely bonkers.

@alexhern's description of #AI is succinct & accurate - unusual for @TheGuardian:

> Once you [understand that AI can't handle outliers], almost everything that people like #Altman, #Musk & #Kurzweil are saying about #AGI being nigh seems like sheer fantasy, on par with imagining that really tall ladders will soon make it to the moon.

A timely reinforcement of the question:

> What if the bubble is about to burst?

What is the training data of #LLMs?

#ChatBots / #GenerativeAI / #stochasticParrots get education from everything we ever wrote for the web.

An article by Scott Rosenberg @scottros: https://www.axios.com/2023/04/24/ai-chatgpt-blogs-web-writing-training-data #dataGovernance @dataGovernance #copyright #microBlogging #webPublishing #blogging #blogs

An interview about #generativeAI / #stochasticParrots with the European Commission's executive vice president and commissioner for competition:

"I do hope that we can find political agreements later this year, so that [new rules] can come into effect."

#Vestager said the proposed rules will not affect research.

"You can test, you can innovate, you can pursue your ideas. What we are regulating is when it's put into use."

Also does anyone know of any efforts to provide libre riscv AI accelerator that can be run on FPGA?

No, ChatGPT...If you don't know the answer you should not reply with false information.
