Summoning my #AI folks and my #Education folks to weigh in: What should the attitude of teachers and educators be towards the use of AI by themselves and by students? (Yes, you can assume this mainly concerns the use of #LLMs.) #SALAMI@edutooters
@FantasticalEconomics@languageservicesco@dsmith@edutooters I can't help but feel some cognitive dissonance here though. If we can reject the use of #LLMs for their exorbitant use of resources and attendant environmental effects, then how does it make sense to encourage students (who are much more numerous than we are) to use them? :thonking:
Poisoning Web search & misinformation further & faster. The obvious risks and reality of LLMs & bots.
What I like about the article is it discusses recent PhD Daniel Griffin's (Berekeley) accidental experiment regarding the history of Claude Shannon & information theory history & further corrupting search & information.
@edutooters Daisy Christodoulou and team have done some very good work around #LLMs and #teaching
There current take is not positive:
"Being good at language and bad at accuracy is a toxic combination. It basically means that LLMs are really good at educationally & socially harmful things like cheating, but really bad at educationally & socially useful things like aiding instruction, assessing accurately, etc"
Large language models (LLMs) and parliaments: a common conversational architecture. Short thread 🧵
LLMs respond to a logic of responsiveness to linguistic input that in some ways lies at the heart of the logic governing parliamentary activity: it can be argued, to a great approximation, that both parliamentary work and the functioning of LLMs have in common the fact that they use language as a key element.
