I have a preprint out estimating how many scholarly papers are written using chatGPT etc? I estimate upwards of 60k articles (>1% of global output) published in 2023. https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.16887

How can we identify this? Simple: there are certain words that LLMs love, and they suddenly start showing up *a lot* last year. Twice as many papers call something "intricate", big rises for "commendable" and "meticulous".

Next week I'll be starting a pretty ambitious project—50 Days of LIT Prompts. Every weekday for 10 weeks, I'll be sharing prompt patterns along with my thoughts and readings relating to Large Language Models like those behind #ChatGPT. Follow the link below, and this thread, for updates: https://sadlynothavocdinosaur.com/posts/50-days-of-lit-prompts/

FB just offered me an ad titled "Learn ChatGPT in just 4 weeks!"

I have so many questions.

Like, is the course taught by ChatGPT? Is the material about ChatGPT written by ChatGPT? Does it come with a certificate? Is there an exam? How do I know the material written by ChatGPT about ChatGPT is accurate?... Does it matter?...

Grok's selling point is real-time access to news, but Motherboard found that it generated inaccurate information about Israel-Palestine and lent credence to conspiracy theories.

#chatgpt and #LLMs would be nothing without #Wikipedia

A friend asked #ChatGPT for recommendations on folktales where weaving and spinning plays an important role.

The #AI recommended the Ugly Duckling.
When asked why, it said "the duckling makes magical clothes for the prince." 😂

This will probably change in the future, but right now, AI is very, very bad at folklore questions.

(Last time I asked it about mythical creatures in China, and it made up an entire nonexistent chapter of Journey to the West...)

#folklore #folktales #storytelling

#ChatGPT shall soon make possible custom-ordered novels. These books shall replace trope-laden and predictable #novels written by humans, leaving behind a much smaller, though viable, market for truly original works. Traditional #publishers, whose catalogues have been thus decimated, shall find themselves in the embarrassing position of rummaging through their archives of rejection letters. 😈

To whoever needs to hear this:

No, ChatGPT is NOT a good way to learn coding. It is, in fact, the WORST way to learn coding.

Why? Because it lies. It simply lies.

If you come into a language, not knowing anything about it and someone teaches it to you literally by making up half the stuff they say on the fly, you will fail. But worse yet: You will have all the made up explanations of the AI in your head now.

Do not use ChatGPT to learn to code, PLEASE.

The boyfriend: go prepare your job interview.
Me: passes the ball to #ChatGPT.

Interesting system I must say, but I haven't gotten a wow-feeling.

I'm holding out just a little bit longer to see if #ChatGPT can write an #OpenAPI spec if given my endpoint handlers.
