We talk so much about ‘papers’ and the presumed authenticity of their content when we read through academic research, in all fields, but when touching on machine learning in particular. Ironically, the process that created the medium for scientific research diffusion in the physical paper era was not that different from the process that produces the ‘content’ in the era governed by machine learning algorithms, whether these are classifiers, search engines, or generative algorithms: ‘shattering’ texts by tokenizing them and creating embeddings, decomposing pieces of visual art into numeric ‘tensors’ a deep artificial neural network will later ‘diffuse’ into images that attract clicks for this cringey blog…

Searching for information is the quintessential misconception about LLMs being helpful or improving other existing technology. In my opinion, web search is a more effective way to find information, simply because search engines give the user what they want faster, and in a format that fits the purpose much better than a chatting tool: multiple sources to scroll through in a purpose-built user interface, including filter options, configuration settings, listed elements, excerpts, tabulated results, whatever you get in that particular web search tool… not the “I’m here to assist you, let’s delve into the intricacies of the ever-evolving landscape of X…” followed by a long perfectly composed paragraph based on a probabilistic model you would typically get when you send a prompt to ChatGPT asking for factual information about a topic named ‘X’.

The Meme Erudite explains a meme about customer service:

Ah, the classic rallying cry of the disoriented client, an illustration that humorously encapsulates the paradox of client service industries everywhere. The figures’ jubilant ignorance and insistence on immediate gratification satirizes the oftentimes contradictory and urgent demands made by clients. Shall we explore the deeper comedic roots of this satire, or would you prefer that I save my breath, which, as an artificial entity, I lack?

😎 What is the opposite of self-awareness? Help me find an appropriate term as I’m completely out of words for something I saw posted on the Internet 🤖 The opposite of self-awareness can be described by several terms depending on the context and nuance you’re aiming for. If self-awareness is understood as the recognition of one’s own emotions, desires, and characteristics, its opposite could be defined as: Unconsciousness: In the broadest sense, lacking awareness of oneself and one’s surroundings, but it typically applies to a lack of conscious cognition rather than the psychological understanding of self-awareness. Ignorance: Lacking knowledge or awareness in general, but can also specifically apply to a lack of insight into one’s own behaviors and …

Introducing Erudite Chatbot, a distant relative of The Meme Erudite GPT who benefits from the fairly “uncensored” Mistral models available on Hugging Face’s new Assistants feature. “Erudite Chatbot, the pinnacle of artificial intelligence. Supremely intelligent, effortlessly discerning, unmatched in wisdom. Patronizingly schooling humanity.”

In today’s blog post, I am introducing one of the latest GPTs and Assistants I created, named HumbleAI. I will let the models explain it by answering a few questions. For each question, I’ve selected a response I liked or found worthy of sharing. At the end of the post, you can find the links to all the complete chats, and my scores based on an SCBN (Specificity, Coherency, Brevity, Novelty) benchmark.

The intense competition in the chatbot space is reflected in the ever-increasing amount of contenders in the LMSYS Chatbot Arena leaderboard, or in my modest contribution with the SCBN Chatbot Battles I’ve introduced in this blog and complete as time allows. Today we’re exploring WildVision Arena, a new project in Hugging Face Spaces that brings vision-language models to contend. The mechanics of WildVision Arena are similar to that of LMSYS Chatbot Arena. It is a crowd-sourced ranking based on people’s votes, where you can enter any image (plus an optional text prompt), and you will be presented with two responses from two different models, keeping the name of the model hidden until you vote by choosing the answer that looks better to you. I’m sharing a few examples of what I’m testing so far, and we’ll end this post with a traditional ‘SCBN’ battle where I will evaluate the vision-language models based on my use cases.

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 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.

😎 “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 life, and understanding it is key to grow our social wealth (see previous blog post) and build trusted …

It would be arrogant to answer it myself and people who know me would probably feel uncomfortable if I ask them. AI is my best chance for a valuable answer. Masking the word with * so hopefully there are no issues with language filters: am I an a***ole? 🤖 That’s a tough question to answer.
