Generative AI, powered by ChatGPT, is expected to have a significant return on investment for enterprises in the next two to four years, according to Forrester. However, businesses need to be aware of the risks associated with adopting generative AI.

The results are in for my poll: Do you prefer to use a search #ChatBot with "personalities"?

* On LinkedIn: Yes/No/Other = 23%/70%/7%; total 87 votes https://www.linkedin.com/posts/benjaminhan_chatbot-nlp-nlproc-activity-7039132265594966016-QGnG
* On Mastodon: Yes/No/Other = 33%/60%/7%; total 15 votes https://sigmoid.social/@BenjaminHan/109946779678472516

I'm curious to learn from the folks who voted Yes/Other -- what values do you see in a search bot with personalities? And what "other" options can we have?

2/ For the researchers/engineers/designers: how do we design a chatbot to avoid such harm and manipulation? Other than always striving for providing unbiased and truthful answers, shouldn't we de-anthropomorphize it as much as possible for information-seeking use cases?

Something we should say out loud & probably keep saying: you are not an expert on ChatGP, ChatGPT is an expert on you.

@tparish (my dad ☺️) and I had a chat about GPT and other large language models. He was curious about my perspective as a rhetor and conversation designer.

Here is a recap of our discussion.

I have been listening to #SecurityNow 905 (https://twit.tv/shows/security-now/episodes/905, about the #LastPass issue), and it was fun to learn that someone used #ChatGPT to get started with the code a #dotNet GUI.

The code was not accurate, but it came with the proper explanations so that the user could adapt the code to their needs and get it to work super fast, with no prior experience with the framework.

Very nice portable #Cpp port of #OpenAI’s #Whisper #SpeechRecognition: https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp

I ran the #WASM demo: https://whisper.ggerganov.com/talk/, and I find the quality of the recognition pretty good!
It’s still seconds-slow on my nicest laptop, but I suppose we could get below-second performance with a Jetson.

Being in #Cpp and totally portable is super important to get it embedded on interactive #robots, and avoid leaking data to the #cloud #RGPD.
