Football Marketing & AI’s Achilles Heel

How about those Bears!

Maybe they should have thrown in some AI Robots like the ones that showed up to the Dolphins / Chargers game.

A better football marketing story coming out of Batavia high school.

We're also covering how Large Language models work and where their blind spot is and how to exploit that.

Part 2 on building your own AI Chatbot

And, if we have time, using ChatGPT to code something I never could have done on my own for a site staging an arts for mental health day across 18 cities.

News: Meta Is Developing a New, More Powerful AI System as Technology Race Escalates

From WSJ, September 10, 2023

Meta (parent company of Facebook and Instagram) is developing a new AI system intended to rival OpenAI's GPT-4 model. The goal is for it to be ready by early 2024.

This new model would be several times more powerful than Meta's current Llama 2 model released in July 2022.

The system is being developed by a team formed by Mark Zuckerberg earlier this year to accelerate Meta's generative AI capabilities.

Meta plans to train the model on its own infrastructure, unlike Llama 2 which was trained with Microsoft. Meta aims to open source the model when complete.

The move is part of Zuckerberg's push to position Meta as a leader in AI amidst intensifying competition with companies like OpenAI and Google.

There are potential benefits but also risks to developing such a powerful open source AI model, including issues around copyright and content moderation.

Meta's model aims to match GPT-4's capabilities, though it may not fully close the gap with rivals given their progress. The race to develop more advanced AI continues.

 

News: OpenAI Launches Business Version of ChatGPT That Competes With Microsoft

From WSJ: 28 Aug 2023

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Enterprise, a business version of its popular ChatGPT chatbot. This puts OpenAI in direct competition with Microsoft, its biggest backer and partner.

  • ChatGPT Enterprise is tailored for corporate users - it can help employees learn skills like coding, analyze internal data, and runs twice as fast as the regular ChatGPT.

  • Microsoft recently launched a similar product called Bing Chat Enterprise. Both tools promise to keep customer data private.

  • OpenAI and Microsoft have had a close partnership, with Microsoft investing billions in OpenAI. But there has also been some conflict between the companies.

  • OpenAI says ChatGPT Enterprise moves towards an "AI assistant for work" while protecting company data. Microsoft describes Bing Chat in similar terms.

  • This is OpenAI's first ChatGPT product tailored for business. It already sells access to its models to companies.

  • The launch comes amid an ongoing shortage of advanced chips needed to run AI systems. OpenAI focused on maximizing speed and reducing latency for ChatGPT Enterprise.

 

How Large Language Models (LLMs) Work

Freakonomics 6 Sep 2023

Here is a detailed outline of the key points in the transcript:

I. Introduction

- This is the final episode in a 3-part series on A.I.

- The focus is on what the world will look like when A.I. is everywhere.

II. The Job of "Prompt Engineer"

Anna Bernstein was an early pioneer in the new role of "prompt engineer"

  • Prompt engineers help users communicate effectively with AI systems by:

  • Crafting precise prompts that translate goals into instructions AI can follow

  • Understanding nuances of human communication:

    • Humans rely heavily on shared context and "fuzziness"

    • AI models interpret prompts literally

  • Finding the right words and syntax to "unlock capabilities" in the AI

  • Editing prompts obsessively until AI output matches intent

  • Bernstein's background in poetry helps with this linguistic precision

  • She has spent countless hours "talking" to AI models to understand their capabilities

  • Prompt engineering requires:

    • Identifying the exact purpose and audience for output

    • Using powerful action verbs to convey goals

    • Avoiding negatives, which can confuse models

    • Adding lots of synonyms to emphasize style/tone

  • This helps models produce more dynamic, nuanced results

  • Prompt engineering has become an in-demand job, indicating AI's business relevance

  • Bernstein's skills may become applicable across industries as AI use grows

III. How A.I. Models Learn

Dario Amodei provides an overview of how large language models (LLMs) like GPT learn:

  • LLMs start with no knowledge, like a newborn baby.

  • They are fed massive amounts of text data from the internet - trillions of words.

  • The LLM tries to predict the next word in each document, learning to match patterns.

  • At first predictions are random, like a baby babbling.

  • Over time the LLM learns:

    • Basic spelling and grammar

    • How to structure sentences grammatically

    • Common facts about the world (e.g. Paris is the capital of France)

    • More advanced concepts like math and computer programming

  • Humans can't manually track everything a LLM learns. But they can test it by asking questions.

  • After basic training, humans intervene to:

    • Remove toxic content and align with human values

    • Craft a "constitution" that codifies principles for the LLM to follow

    • Have the LLM monitor itself for constitutional alignment

  • This human involvement is essential to prevent harmful outputs from raw LLMs.

  • Ongoing research focuses on developing LLMs that learn "the right stuff" from the start.

IV. Benefits and Dangers of A.I.

- Amodei sees huge potential upsides of A.I. in fields like medicine.

- But also serious risks like bioweapons if not properly regulated.

V. Using A.I. as a Thought Partner

- Ethan Mollick finds A.I. helpful for entrepreneurship by overcoming inertia.

- He demonstrates "constrained ideation" to generate business ideas with A.I.

- The process helps make your own thinking clearer.

VI. A.I. and Education

- A.I. could help education by creating tests and customizing learning.

VII. Conclusion

- Key takeaways:

- Current A.I. is not worthy of the hype.

- Its future impact depends on how humans shape it.

- It will transform jobs - prepare by understanding it.

- Anecdote: A.I. helped a man say goodbye to his dying wife.

What is AI chatbot's achilles heal?

AI chatbots need large amounts of data to learn from and to generate responses. However, not all data is accurate, relevant, or unbiased. Some data may contain errors, inconsistencies, or misinformation that could affect the chatbot’s understanding and output. Some data may also reflect the biases or prejudices of the data sources or creators, which could lead to unfair or unethical outcomes for some users or groups.

Twitter has blocked AI Scraping

Twitter has blocked chatbots from scraping data. Twitter has taken several measures to prevent AI-based chatbots from scraping data, including blocking non-users from viewing tweets unless they are logged into an account , restricting the platform's data access to ChatGPT web browser extension , and blocking data access to AI-based chatbots like ChatGPT 3 . Additionally, Elon Musk-owned X, formerly Twitter, has updated its terms of service to prohibit scraping and crawling. Elon Musk has also stated that Twitter users will have to temporarily sign in to view tweets to stop AI data scraping, and Twitter will place limits on the number of tweets people can read per day 5 . Twitter CEO Elon Musk has also mentioned that unregistered data scrapers have been slowing the service down.

IPS Teacher Interviews:

There were things said that no words written yet can convey

Topic: Your Own AI Chatbot

Using Zapier’s new Interfaces tool, I’ll show you have to build your own Chatbot that uses your own data.

Connect a custom data source

Upload one 1MB static text file (.txt, .csv, .json, .pdf, .doc, .docx).

a plain ASCII English text file without compression could hold approximately 150,000-200,000 words per megabyte.

300-400 printed pages in a Google doc.
