Introducing a new section in Talking to Chatbots: Hiring Chatbots. In this series of chats, we will be conducting job interviews with chatbots – either a standard version of the most popular LLMs or a customized GPT or Character – and we’ll make them compete for the job. The chatbot with the best answer to our question wins and gets published. The rest of the answers will be listed, ranked, and shared in a signature SCBN chatbot battle chart. With the SCBN scores, I value adherence to my prompt instructions (role-playing is important in this case, which most chatbots fail …

AI will only be a threat to humanity the day it grasps self-deprecating humor. I said that in a previous blog post, and I maintain it. AI will never be a threat to humanity, and I firmly believe only humanity can be a threat to humanity, as I also discussed with some of my favorite language models in an older blog post. However, as someone who could call himself a technologist, I’m sensitive to the fact that all forms of technology are a subject of fear, uncertainty, and doubt for individuals and societies. That’s not a new topic, and I’ve already talked a lot about AI ethics and cognitive biases on this blog, so today’s story is not particularly novel in terms of sharing and discussing my own ideas, but a good excuse to share more chats, as well as the latest GPT that I’ve built with OpenAI’s fun and promising chatbot customization tool: The Meme Erudite.

I just listened to Acquire’s latest episode, the interview with Charlie Munger, Berkshire Hathaway’s Vice Chairman, and Warren Buffett’s longtime partner. I found the interview so insightful, inspiring, and, quite simply, fun to listen to, that I spent the day on it. I started simply by recording some of the sections that were more difficult to grasp for my non-native English listening skills and making the ChatGPT voice feature transcribe them. However I ended up analyzing most of the interview highlights with OpenAI’s large language model, so I thought it would be worth sharing

The SCBN (Specificity, Coherency, Brevity, Novelty) benchmark is a method to evaluate the output quality of language models and chatbots. SCBN provides a clear and systematic way to compare and assess chatbot responses based on four main metrics.

– Specificity (S): evaluates if a chatbot’s response is directly related to the user’s request. It checks how accurately the response addresses the prompt without deviating from the topic.
– Coherency (C): measures the logical structure of the response. It ensures that the information in the response is presented in a clear and organized manner, making it easy for the user to understand.

😎 Write a blog post as if written by a “financial independence – retire early” (FIRE) influencer. The text should be based on the song lyrics of “Surf Wax America”, a 1994 song by the rock band Weezer, without mentioning it is inspired by a song. Use some of the typical language and jargon of the FIRE movement and of people who claim to know better than others how to manage personal finances and wealth. Include typical FIRE topics and buzzwords such as passive income, compound interest, the rat race, hustling, and frugality. Use a social media post structure with catchy headings and emojis.

…The meme is a satirical take on what some sophisticated AI algorithms do behind the scenes, which the meme exaggerates as a huge stream of nested if() statements. Conditional If() statements have been widely used in traditional computer programming. They are an essential block of the simplest computer programs people write when they learn coding, or when they work with spreadsheets. If() statements sometimes get too complex and convoluted hinting at bad coding practices, so most people with basic programming skills would find the messy If() statements behind the AI-labeled wallpaper as a funny take on the overhype with generative AI and other emerging technologies.

✍️ I began in content publishing back in 2006. I was then an information and communications technology (ICT) student fascinated by the growth of Internet technology and the tools that allowed us to write about our hobbies and interests while connecting with like-minded people. Back when Facebook was not yet popular, and Twitter and Instagram did not exist, people mainly used blogging platforms and personal websites to publish their content. At that time, generally tech-savvy individuals who blogged or owned a website had more visibility. They were easier to find than anyone is in today’s age of information overload. Since …

✍️ This chat is a continuation of What Are the Main Asset Classes One Can Invest in? The original chat showcased the chatbot’s capacity to analyze a list of financial asset classes and provide further insight, which I used to create a Canva infographic. The analysis of the classification of asset classes led me to pose the question of how crypto assets should be classified, a major topic of debate after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) presented charges against Coinbase. The SEC claimed that some of the crypto assets traded on their platform were securities, not commodities as …

😎 “If you think you are smarter than me, you most likely are not. There is a scientific explanation for that: the Dunning-Kruger effect” I’ve been tempted to use that sentence in social media before, but I prefer not to because some people might feel offended or dislike me as an arrogant person for pointing that out. I think the message is very accurate, though, and understanding Dunning-Kruger, a cognitive bias that affects us all, might be useful for some people to learn and improve their skills. Based on my personal experiences, I’ve noticed Dunning-Kruger’s influence on many aspects of …
