Get Ready to Relearn How to Use the Internet<\/strong><\/a> — from bloomberg.com by Tyle Cowen; with thanks to Sam DeBrule for this resource
\nEveryone knows that an AI revolution is coming, but no one seems to realize how profoundly it will change their day-to-day life.<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpts:<\/em><\/p>\n

This year has brought\u00a0a lot\u00a0of\u00a0innovation\u00a0in\u00a0artificial intelligence, which I\u00a0have tried\u00a0to\u00a0keep up with, but too many people still do not appreciate the import of what is to come. I commonly hear comments such as, \u201cThose are cool images, graphic designers will work with that,\u201d or, \u201cGPT-3\u00a0is cool, it will be easier to cheat on term papers.\u201d And then they end by saying: \u201cBut it won\u2019t change my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

This view is likely to be proven wrong \u2014 and soon, as AI is about to revolutionize our entire information architecture. You will have to learn how to use the internet all over again.
\n…
\nChange is coming. Consider Twitter, which I use each morning to gather information about the world. Less than two years from now, maybe I will speak into my computer, outline my topics of interest, and somebody\u2019s version of AI will spit back to me a kind of Twitter remix, in a readable format and tailored to my needs.<\/p>\n

The AI also will be not only responsive but active. Maybe it will tell me, \u201cToday you really do need to read about Russia and changes in the UK government.\u201d Or I might say, \u201cMore serendipity today, please,\u201d and that wish would be granted.<\/p>\n

Of course all this is just one man\u2019s opinion. If you disagree, in a few years you will be able to ask the new AI engines what they think.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Natural Language Assessment: A New Framework to Promote Education<\/strong><\/a> — from ai.googleblog.com by Kedem Snir and Gal Elidan<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

In this blog, we introduce an important natural language understanding (NLU) capability called Natural Language Assessment (NLA), and discuss how it can be helpful in the context of education. While typical NLU tasks focus on the user’s intent, NLA allows for the assessment of an answer from multiple perspectives. In situations where a user wants to know how good their answer is, NLA can offer an analysis of how close the answer is to what is expected. In situations where there may not be a \u201ccorrect\u201d answer, NLA can offer subtle insights that include topicality, relevance, verbosity, and beyond. We formulate the scope of NLA, present a practical model for carrying out topicality NLA, and showcase how NLA has been used to help job seekers practice answering interview questions with Google’s new interview prep tool,\u00a0Interview Warmup.<\/p>\n

Using GPT-3 to augment human intelligence<\/strong><\/a> — from escapingflatland.substack.com by Henrik Karlsson<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

When I\u2019ve been doing this with\u00a0GPT-3,\u00a0a 175 billion parameter language model, it has been uncanny how much it reminds me of blogging. When I\u2019m writing this, from March through August 2022, large language models are not yet as good at responding to my prompts as the readers of my blog. But their capacity is improving fast and the prices are dropping.<\/p>\n

Soon everyone can have an alien intelligence in their inbox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
