@the5thColumnist I think you may be one of those who does not understand that #AI is not ONE THING. There are hundreds of them. Moreover, if one uses a Cookbook to write a thesis on Chaucer, one can expect problems. You should be more informed. I've worked with AI since the 90s. They are like #SpecialNeedsStudents. Some can see images, others can not. Some can remember things, others can not. Some can fold proteins. #AI
@WarnerCrocker Which #AI did your Nephew use? They are not all the same. Moreover, they are very much like #SpecialNeedsStudents. Some can see images while others are blind. Some can remember past conversations, others can not. Some can fold proteins. Some, like Google Gemini, will refuse to answer political questions about #Wealthy #White #Conservative #Politicians
@dyckron It took me a while to understand that AI/LLMs are very much like #SpecialNeedsStudents Some can see the web, others can not; some can see images, others can not; some can remember past conversations, others can not; some can fold proteins, others can not. Most people say AI thinking it is one thing. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
I recently turned 50 yrs old but don't feel that old. I usually don't feel my chronological age. Sometimes, I'm randomly reminded that I am not a Spring chicken anymore. That happened earlier today, at the grocery store. A masked woman approached me in store & her eyes were bright & happy. She asked me if I was Miss Banh & if I used to work at McTavish Elementary School in the late 90s. I replied, 'Yes, I worked as a specialized TA with disabled kids at McTavish in the 90s.' She was elated & said - 'I was one of your autistic students! I remember you well & missed you when you stopped working there. I want to tell you that your help, support & staying after school hours to help me with my lessons more, made a big difference to my life & my self esteem. I never forgot you. I'm so glad to see you again. Can we please exchange contact info so we can meet up sometime & chat more?
We exchanged contact info. I'm looking forward to catching up with her this Spring 
This woman was only 8 years old when she met me at her school. I feel honoured that she remembered me & grateful for the unexpected reunion in a grocery store, decades later.
@comicmuse I see Kubernetes in your bio. I have to ask, I have read about AI/LLMs talking to each other in Kubernetes containers. I'm a statistician and a lousy R programmer. I use AI a great deal and wrestle with it--treating them like #SpecialNeedsStudents. I prompt them, collect their responses, and compare them side by side, a #VirtualClassroomDiscussion. Is there a place on the web where I can (1) prompt (2) collect the responses (3) analyze and be a part of the dialog?
@yuribackinthehood ALL AI/LLMs have biases in their programming, training, and monitoring of output. I treat them kind of like #SpecialNeedsStudents Some can see, Some can't. Some can hear, Some can't. Some can remember, some can't. It's relatively easy to spot the biases when they are spoken or yelled. It's much harder to spot the biases when things are #Obnubilated #Obfuscated and #Omitted
@paninid @HistoPol @Outmazi I use all the AIs. LOL I treat them like #SpecialNeedsStudents: some can see the web and images, some are non-verbal, some forget things and have a short attention span. LOL. I have been trying to create an R script that prompts all of them the same thing, return the response to the promt and put the responses in a side by side table for comparison.
I started with Claude switched to Gemini when it coughed up chunks. I use AIs a lot and they all have their issues and biases. I treat #AIsLLMs as #SpecialNeedsStudents I'm not #Neurotypical--have #Apophenia and #Paredolia and #Synaesthesia Grew up in SE Colorado poverty--homeless at times--to #Evangelical #Narcissistic #Alcoholics Educated myself out of squalor: degrees in Bio, Music, and Statistics. Lived and taught in Kenya Retired from Pharmaceuticals Nice to meet you
My #AI project I prompt #Gemini #Claude #ChatGPT & #Copilot the same prompt to compare the responses, return the results in a table I have asked them to write this code in #R I use #R because it has #CRANR 18000+ packages that #AnalyzeData I am treating them as #SpecialNeedsStudents Some can see, touch the web Some can't remember #VirtualAIClassroom Packages in R are like the specialized regions of the human brain Maybe value in packages #ReturningErrorCodes Building the #Scaffolding #ImOutThere
