We can be irreverent in deflating #AIhype, but we do it because the harms are real and present. Especially when LLMs are presented as useful to vulnerable populations. @alex l and I were fortunate to discuss with Hannah Zeavin on #MAIHT3k episode 13:

Thx to Christie Taylor for production!

Instead of giving billionaires a platform, how about focusing on this questions?

Instead of falling for #AIHype or #AGIPanic how about spreading this ideas?

the C programming language must be destroyed, all cobol must be converted to java by #AIHype, death of fortran predicted ... what a week. And it's only Tuesday. Or something like that.

And in spite of all the #AIHype over #GPT4 passing various exams at 90th percentile, it isn't much better at solving math problems not in its training data

Late last week, "MSN.com's Microsoft Travel section posted an AI-generated article about the "cannot miss" attractions of Ottawa that includes the Ottawa Food Bank, a real charitable organization that feeds struggling families. In its recommendation text, Microsoft's AI model wrote, "Consider going into it on an empty stomach."" Source: (https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/08/microsoft-ai-suggests-food-bank-as-a-cannot-miss-tourist-spot-in-canada/)

Today, the Food Bank tweeted that it had run out of food: https://twitter.com/OttawaFoodBank/status/1693693494831800419

Hear me out: what if high-level engineers just started writing science fiction instead of trying to talk seriously about AI? I think it would be a win for everyone.

An LLM is a Markov chain with some feedback signals and a much bigger marketing budget.

I was there in the 90s. At the dot com bubble. I was there at the MOOCs bubble, at the social media bubble , the NFT bubble and now the AI bubble. AS my former high school colleague who did a PhD in AI and works on AI for expert systems "we were there but most technobros pawns don't listen to old ppl except the Musks of this world" #AIhype

Really loved this @iDPI_UMass conversation between @timnitGebru and @ethanz about #AI. In this clip, Dr. Gebru so clearly describes how corporations stand to benefit from the existential risk hype.

They could do it — but nobody stopped to ask if they *should* do it.

That said, there’s probably less harm in AI laundry than many other use cases. I feel sorry for anyone who buys this junk.

Read this from @alex and @emilymbender.
“AI-related policy must be science-driven and built on relevant research, but too many AI publications come from corporate labs or from academic groups that receive disproportionate industry funding. Much is junk science—it is nonreproducible, hides behind trade secrecy, is full of hype and uses evaluation methods that lack construct validity….”

#AI Model Fit Obsession Disorder (MFOD) : A #pathology afflicting a #datascientist or #machinelearningengineer in which they think their job is to call the function model.fit, and that's it. The disorder is characterized by a lack of curiosity about whats inside their #blackbox, a belief that only good things happen from calling the model.fit function, and disdain for understanding #ai by means other than the mean square error. #aihype #datascience #machinelearning
