Prompts & GenAI
OpenAI has just released its o1 models. o1 adds a new level of complexity to the traditional architecture of LLMs, a zero-shot chain-of-thought (CoT). I share my first impressions about o1 in the signature style of this website: talking to chatbots, getting their answers, posting everything.
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…
Disco music was famous for introducing technological advances in music production, such as synthesizers and electric pianos. I guess those were among the reasons why people saw it as lacking the “authenticity” of early musical genres. It’s hard to grasp the human concept of “authenticity” most people have in their psyche, I don’t believe there is any rationality in it, especially when it comes to discerning things that are deemed “authentic” versus things that are not. For me, this stems from a mysterious, probably instinctive, resistance in most people’s psyches to adopt new technologies or accept new scientific discoveries. It comes down to the internal confrontations between beliefs and reality:
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.
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.

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.
