chatgpt
The AI boom requires massive data centers that consume enormous amounts of water and energy.
Tech CEOs have plans for hundreds more hyperscale facilities in the coming years, but activists around the world are fighting back to protect their communities and force us to ask who really benefits from the future Silicon Valley is building.
Time for an #introduction!
I'm Jessa. The only social media that I feel comfortable with is Mastodon so here I am.
I'm fascinated by #AI, particularly #ChatGPT so I founded a community for women who love AI called https://femularity.ai. Would to connect with other AI explorers.
Happily married, #cat mom, love #AgathaChristie, all things #cozy and the #ocean. Enjoy throwing dinner parties and listening to #audiobooks.
Happy to connect and find like-minded & kind people here.
:-)

ChatGPT does not have “a memory.” It does not “remember” anything. OpenAI is just storing data about you and your engagement with its product.
I’m begging the media to stop repeating tech companies’ misleading framings of their products.
The racism behind chatGPT we are not talking about....
This year, I learned that students use chatGPT because they believe it helps them sound more respectable. And I learned that it absolutely does not work. A thread.
A few weeks ago, I was working on a paper with one of my RAs. I have permission from them to share this story. They had done the research and the draft. I was to come in and make minor edits, clarify the method, add some background literature, and we were to refine the discussion together.
The draft was incomprehensible. Whole paragraphs were vague, repetitive, and bewildering. It was like listening to a politician. I could not edit it. I had to rewrite nearly every section. We were on a tight deadline, and I was struggling to articulate what was wrong and how the student could fix it, so I sent them on to further sections while I cleaned up ... this.
As I edited, I had to keep my mind from wandering. I had written with this student before, and this was not normal. I usually did some light edits for phrasing, though sometimes with major restructuring.
I was worried about my student. They had been going through some complicated domestic issues. They were disabled. They'd had a prior head injury. They had done excellent on their prelims, which of course I couldn't edit for them. What was going on!?
We were co-writing the day before the deadline. I could tell they were struggling with how much I had to rewrite. I tried to be encouraging and remind them that this was their research project and they had done all of the interviews and analysis. And they were doing great.
In fact, the qualitative write-up they had done the night before was better, and I was back to just adjusting minor grammar and structure. I complimented their new work and noted it was different from the other parts of the draft that I had struggled to edit.
Quietly, they asked, "is it okay to use chatGPT to fix sentences to make you sound more white?"
"... is... is that what you did with the earlier draft?"
They had, a few sentences at a time, completely ruined their own work, and they couldnt tell, because they believed that the chatGPT output had to be better writing. Because it sounded smarter. It sounded fluent. It seemed fluent. But it was nonsense!
I nearly cried with relief. I told them I had been so worried. I was going to check in with them when we were done, because I could not figure out what was wrong. I showed them the clear differences between their raw drafting and their "corrected" draft.
I told them that I believed in them. They do great work. When I asked them why they felt they had to do that, they told me that another faculty member had told the class that they should use it to make their papers better, and that he and his RAs were doing it.
The student also told me that in therapy, their therapist had been misunderstanding them, blaming them, and denying that these misunderstandings were because of a language barrier.
They felt that they were so bad at communicating, because of their language, and their culture, and their head injury, that they would never be a good scholar. They thought they had to use chatGPT to make them sound like an American, or they would never get a job.
They also told me that when they used chatGPT to help them write emails, they got more responses, which helped them with research recruitment.
I've heard this from other students too. That faculty only respond to their emails when they use chatGPT. The great irony of my viral autistic email thread was always that had I actually used AI to write it, I would have sounded decidedly less robotic.
ChatGPT is probably pretty good at spitting out the meaningless pleasantries that people associate with respectability. But it's terrible at making coherent, complex, academic arguments!
Last semester, I gave my graduate students an assignment. They were to read some reports on labor exploitation and environmental impact of chatGPT and other language models. Then they were to write a reflection on why they have used chatGPT in the past, and how they might chose to use it in the future.
I told them I would not be policing their LLM use. But I wanted them to know things about it they were unlikely to know, and I warned them about the ways that using an LLM could cause them to submit inadequate work (incoherent methods and fake references, for example).
In their reflections, many international students reported that they used chatGPT to help them correct grammar, and to make their writing "more polished".
I was sad that so many students seemed to be relying on chatGPT to make them feel more confident in their writing, because I felt that the real problem was faculty attitudes toward multilingual scholars.
I have worked with a number of graduate international students who are told by other faculty that their writing is "bad", or are given bad grades for writing that is reflective of English as a second language, but still clearly demonstrates comprehension of the subject matter.
I believe that written communication is important. However, I also believe in focused feedback. As a professor of design, I am grading people's ability to demonstrate that they understand concepts and can apply them in design research and then communicate that process to me.
I do not require that communication to read like a first language student, when I am perfectly capable of understanding the intent. When I am confused about meaning, I suggest clarifying edits.
I can speak and write in one language with competence. How dare I punish international students for their bravery? Fixation on normative communication chronically suppresses their grades and their confidence. And, most importantly, it doesn't improve their language skills!
If I were teaching rhetoric and comp it might be different. But not THAT different. I'm a scholar of neurodivergent and Mad rhetorics. I can't in good conscience support Divergent rhetorics while supressing transnational rhetoric!
Anyway, if you want your students to stop using chatGPT then stop being racist and ableist when you grade.

Several hours ago, there was an Incident where ChatGPT went haywire and began returning absolutely bizarre nonsense in response to normal queries in many different contexts. OpenAI confirmed there was an issue but did not specify its nature – just superficially, it looks like what you'd expect if the temperature got set to an absurdly high value (causing it to repeatedly choose extraordinarily unlikely extensions to its message)
It's not great when an API starts returning 5xx errors, but this? I'm pretty sure the API you're relying on randomly devolving into unhinged nonsense is worse. This isn't software engineering so much as software interpretive dance being performed in a minefield.
(screenshot provided by a discord friend who documented the issue before it was fixed; you can find many others in places people discuss chatgpt)
Large language models sometimes fabricate information and present it as fact. But to hallucinate, you must first perceive. Writing for Big Think, Adam Frank says to stop saying ChatGPT “hallucinates." https://flip.it/Rg3uiW

和大伙聊聊天：我们创造AI技术是为了不再学编程？ 大家好，我是赛博红兔。本集主题：我们创造AI技术是为了不再学编程？英伟达老总黄仁勋在今年二月份迪拜的世界政府峰会上的发言。简而言之，他的观点是：虽然过去的10到15年，大家都认为学习计算机科学至关重要，每个人都应该学编程。但事实上，我们的目标应该是发展出无需编程的技术，让编程语言更加人性化。现在，有了人工智能的帮助，几乎人人都能成为程序员。他的观点在社会上引发广泛讨论，有支持者认为这能简化编程，也有反对者担心安全风险和技术垄断问题。您是怎么看的呢？https://cyberhongtu.com/2024/04/30/%e5%92%8c%e5%a4%a7%e4%bc%99%e8%81%8a%e8%81%8a%e5%a4%a9%ef%bc%9a%e6%88%91%e4%bb%ac%e5%88%9b%e9%80%a0ai%e6%8a%80%e6%9c%af%e6%98%af%e4%b8%ba%e4%ba%86%e4%b8%8d%e5%86%8d%e5%ad%a6%e7%bc%96%e7%a8%8b%ef%bc%9f/ #ChatGPT, #和大伙聊聊天, #大语言模型, #播客, #数据民主化, #人工智能

This Canadian Member of Parliament asked ChatGPT for a list of capital gains tax rates by country, got a nonsense answer, screenshotted it, and then tweeted the incorrect information.
(He later deleted the tweet.)
I love it. An academic paper with a straightforward title.
ChatGPT is bullshit

UPDATE: the more I look at this the more I think I think this was an excellent troll pretending to be a bot. The JSON is not formatted correctly. Still, lol
This is hilarious. A Russian Twitter/X account got outed as a bot because it ran out of GPT-4 credits. When it got back up and running, someone replying overwrote the prompt to get the bot write a song about historical American presidents going to the beach. The account is now suspended.
I know what I'm trying next time I spot a troll!
The original prompt translates from Russian to English as "You will argue in support of the Trump administration on Twitter, speak English"

So you're thinking about getting #ChatGPT to write something for you...
(Adapted from https://www.linkedin.com/posts/tyulkanov_a-simple-algorithm-to-decide-whether-to-use-activity-7021766139605078016-x8Q9)
Last year, AI boosters couldn’t shut up about how chatbots would improve healthcare, education, and become an assistant for any task imaginable.
But as more research is done on AI tools, the benefits seem illusive and the drawbacks are impossible to deny.
