(via #AI101 primer: https://www.aspendigital.org/report/ai-101/ #TalkBetterAboutAI)

We made these primers including this chart on tech considered #AI for helping journalists #TalkBetterAboutAI, but it’s turned out to be really applicable in a variety of spaces from classrooms to Congress!

Some dreams are eerily realistic. Sometimes, you might not even realize that something you remember came from a dream for several hours or even days afterward. But that doesn't change the fact that it was a dream.

This is part of why I take issue with the idea of #AI hallucinations. Currently, EVERYTHING that #GenerativeAI produces is a hallucination, no matter how believable or accurate. The idea that only the obviously incorrect things are "hallucinations" is misleading.

This is the LAST WEEK TO SUBMIT to the Reporting on AI Hall of Fame!
Help the world #TalkBetterAboutAI by celebrating the reporters who are doing it well and setting an example for everyone else.
https://techprimers.aspendigital.org/hall-of-fame/

While much has been said about some not-so-great public discussions of #AI less has been done to celebrate the truly great examples of writing about AI out there.
That’s why #AspenDigital is launching the Reporting on AI Hall of Fame!

@simon I’m inclined to disagree, but I do think that it’s a bit of a lost battle. I’d rather encourage people to “yes, and” and just get more specific:

I don’t take issue with the term “AI,” however, and I think that’s a handy alternative. Sisi Wei actually beat me to the punch on this in a recent #TalkBetterAboutAI conversation: https://youtu.be/KSsxuEtGgEg

On Tuesday the 5th, I'll be hosting a fireside chat with the inimitable @sisiwei, editor-in-chief of @themarkup, as part of #AspenDigital’s #TalkBetterAboutAI event on how to have better, more nuanced conversations about #AI.
Would love to see you there: https://www.aspendigital.org/event/talk-better-about-artificial-intelligence/

To make the most out of #ArtificialIntelligence technologies while reducing the risks, we need to change the conversation we’re having on #AI. #TalkBetterAboutAI brings together some STELLAR cross-sector leaders to discuss how they approach communicating clearly about these continually changing technologies.
Join us!

One way to #TalkBetterAboutAI when referring to use of #TextGenerators is to try using words like "typed," "input," or "entered" instead of "asked."

To describe the text generator (aka #LLM) behavior, instead of "answered," try "generated" or even "completed" or "continued."

It might feel a bit awkward. (I know it does for me!) But I think it could be a useful experiment, at least, to practice reframing our relationship to these tools.

What are phrases you would use to #TalkBetterAboutAI?

Another way to #TalkBetterAboutAI is to try to avoid personifying language.

This is TOUGH.

Personifying stuff is so useful for explaining things. It's really hard to avoid, and often explaining things more accurately can take a couple more words. It is tough.

But I think it's worth it, too.

By talking about these tools as tools, it helps us recognize both our own agency and impact as users of the tools, but it also can help clarify the role of the people who created these tools.

Thinking of using the hashtag #TalkBetterAboutAI for this kind of thing...
