20 min 'documentary' about what AI does to artists, made with AI by an artist. ODI commissioned it. Does this type of thing actually help any debate? Does it raise questions more forcefully? I doubt it, more likely reinforcing anyone's pre-existing notions. More a curiosum, then.

This illustration shows four alternative ways to nudge an LLM to produce relevant responses:Generic LLM - Use an off-the-shelf model with a basic prompt. The results can be highly variable, as you can experience when e.g. asking ChatGPT about niche topics. This is not surprising, because the model hasn’t been exposed to relevant data besides the small prompt.Prompt engineering - Spend time structuring the prompt so that it packs more information about the desired topic, tone, and structure of the response. If you do this carefully, you can nudge the responses to be more relevant, but this can be quite tedious, and the amount of relevant data input to the model is limited.Instruction-tuned LLM - Continue training the model with your own data, as described in our previous article. You can expose the model to arbitrary amounts of query-response pairs that help steer the model to more relevant responses. A downside is that training requires a few hours of GPU computation, as well as a custom dataset.Fully custom LLM - train an LLM from scratch. In this case, the LLM can be exposed to only relevant data, so the responses can be arbitrarily relevant. However, training an LLM from scratch takes an enormous amount of compute power and a huge dataset, making this approach practically infeasible for most use cases today.
RAG with a generic LLM - Insert your dataset in a (vector) database, possibly updating it in real time. At the query time, augment the prompt with additional relevant context from the database, which exposes the model to a much larger amount of relevant data, hopefully nudging the model to give a much more relevant response. RAG with an instruction-tuned LLM - Instead of using a generic LLM as in the previous case, you can combine RAG with your custom fine-tuned model for improved relevancy.

Fine-tuning takes a pre-trained LLM and further trains the model on a smaller dataset, often with data not previously used to train the LLM, to improve the LLM’s performance for a particular task.
LLMs can be extended with both RAG and Fine-Tuning Fine-tuning is appropriate when you want to customize a LLM to perform well in a particular domain using private data. For example, you can fine-tune a LLM to become better at producing Python programs by further training the LLM on high-quality Python source code.
In contrast, you should use RAG when you are able to augment your LLM prompt with data that was not known to your LLM at the time of training, such as real-time data, personal (user) data, or context information useful for the prompt.
-
Vector databases are used to retrieve relevant documents using similarity search. Vector databases can be standalone or embedded with the LLM application (e.g., Chroma embedded vector database). When structured (tabular) data is needed, an operational data store, such as a feature store, is typically used. Popular vector databases and feature stores are Weaviate and Hopsworks that both provide time-unlimited free tiers.
-
RAG LLMs can outperform LLMs without retrieval by a large margin with much fewer parameters, and they can update their knowledge by replacing their retrieval corpora, and provide citations for users to easily verify and evaluate the predictions.

The key enablers of this solution are * The embeddings generated with Vertex AI Embeddings for Text * Fast and scalable vector search by Vertex AI Vector Search
Embeddings space is a map of the context of the meanings. Basically, values are assigned in n-dimensional space tied to the similar semantic inputs - tying meaning between concepts.
-
With the embedding API, you can apply the innovation of embeddings, combined with the LLM capability, to various text processing tasks, such as:LLM-enabled Semantic Search: text embeddings can be used to represent both the meaning and intent of a user's query and documents in the embedding space. Documents that have similar meaning to the user's query intent will be found fast with vector search technology. The model is capable of generating text embeddings that capture the subtle nuances of each sentence and paragraphs in the document.LLM-enabled Text Classification: LLM text embeddings can be used for text classification with a deep understanding of different contexts without any training or fine-tuning (so-called zero-shot learning). This wasn't possible with the past language models without task-specific training.LLM-enabled Recommendation: The text embedding can be used for recommendation systems as a strong feature for training recommendation models such as Two-Tower model. The model learns the relationship between the query and candidate embeddings, resulting in next-gen user experience with semantic product recommendation.LLM-enabled Clustering, Anomaly Detection, Sentiment Analysis, and more, can be also handled with the LLM-level deep semantics understanding.
-
Grounded to business facts: In this demo, we didn't try having the LLM to memorize the 8 million items with complex and lengthy prompt engineering. Instead, we attached the Stack Overflow dataset to the model as an external memory using vector search, and used no prompt engineering. This means, the outputs are all directly "grounded" (connected) to the business facts, not the artificial output from the LLM. So the demo is ready to be served today as a production service with mission critical business responsibility. It does not suffer from the limitation of LLM memory or unexpected behaviors of LLMs such as the hallucinations.

Preparation Steps * Ingest data into a database. The destination may be an array or a JSON data type. * Harmonize data. This is a lightweight data transformation step * Encode data. This step is used to convert the ingested data into embeddings. One option is to use an external API. For example, OpenAI’s ADA and sentence_transformer have many pre-trained models to convert unstructured data like images and audio into vectors. * Load embedding vectors. data is moved to a table that mirrors the original table but has an additional column of type ‘vector, ’ JSON or a blob that stores the vectors. * Performance tuning. SingleStoreDB provides JSON_ARRAY_PACK. And indexing vector using HNSW as mentioned earlier. This allows parallel scans using SIMD.
-
In the new AI model, you ingest the data in real time, apply your models by reaching to one or multiple GPT services and action on the data while your users are in the online experience. These GPT models may be used for recommendation, classification personalization, etc., services on real-time data. Recent developments, such as LangChain and AutoGPT, may further disrupt how modern applications are deployed and delivered.
-
Let’s say, for example, you search for a very specific product on a retailer’s website, and the product is not available. An additional API call to an LLM with your request that returned zero results may result in a list of similar products. This is an example of a vector search, which is also known as a similarity or semantic search.
-
Modes of Private Data consumption: 1. Train Custom LLM - requires massive infrastructure, investment, and deep AI skills 2. Tune the LLM - utilizes model weights to fine-tune an existing model- new category of LLMOps - similar issue to #1 3. Prompt general-purpose LLMs - uses modeled context input with Retrieval Augmented Generation (Facebook)
For leveraging prompts, there are two options:
Short-term memory for LLMs that use APIs for model inputs Long-term memory for LLMs that persist the model inputs. Short-term memory is ephemeral while long-term memory introduces persistence.
-
Conventional search works on keys. However, when the ask is a natural query, that sentence needs to be converted into a structure so that it can be compared with words that have similar representation. This structure is called an embedding. An embedding uses vectors that assign coordinates into a graph of numbers — like an array. An embedding is high dimensional as it uses many vectors to perform semantic search.
When a search is made on a new text, the model calculates the “distance” between terms. For example, searching for “king” is closer to “man,” than to “woman.” This distance is calculated on the “nearest neighbors” using functions like, cosine, dot product and Euclidean. his is where “approximate nearest neighbors” (ANN) algorithms are used to reduce the vector search space. A very popular way to index the vector space is through a library called ‘Hierarchical Navigable Small World (HNSW).’ Many vector databases and libraries like FAISS use HNSW to speed up vector search.
-
The different options for storing and querying vectors for long-term memory in AI search. The options include: * Native vector databases - many non-relational DBMSs are adding vectors such as Elastic. Others are Pinecone Qdrant, etc * SingleStoreDB support vector embeddings and semantic search * Apache Parquet or CSV columnar data - slow indicies if used

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a method in natural language processing (NLP) that combines the power of both neural language models and information retrieval methods to generate responses or text that are informed by a large body of knowledge. The concept was introduced by Facebook AI researchers and represents a hybrid approach to incorporating external knowledge into generative models.
RAG models effectively leverage a large corpus of text data without requiring it to be stored in the parameters of the model. This is achieved by utilizing a retriever-generator framework:
-
The Retriever component is responsible for finding relevant documents or passages from a large dataset (like Wikipedia or a corpus of scientific articles) that are likely to contain helpful information for generating a response. This retrieval is typically based on vector similarity between the query and the documents in the dataset, often employing techniques like dense passage retrieval (DPR).
-
The Generator component is a large pre-trained language model (like BART or GPT-2) that generates a response by conditioning on both the input query and the documents retrieved by the retriever. It integrates the information from the external texts to produce more informed, accurate, and contextually relevant text outputs.
The RAG model performs this process in an end-to-end differentiable, meaning it can be trained in a way that updates both the retriever and generator components to minimize the difference between the generated text and the target text. The retriever is typically optimized to select documents that will lead to a correct generation, while the generator is optimized to produce accurate text given the input query and the retrieved documents.
To summarize, RAG allows a generative model to:
- Access vast amounts of structured or unstructured external data.
- Answer questions or generate content that requires specific knowledge not contained within the model itself.
- Benefit from up-to-date and expansive datasets, assuming the retriever's corpus is kept current.
RAG addresses the limitation of standard language models that must rely solely on their internal parameters for generating text. By augmenting generation with on-the-fly retrieval of relevant context, RAG-equipped models can produce more detailed, accurate, and nuanced outputs, especially for tasks like question answering, fact-checking, and content creation where detailed world knowledge is crucial.
This technique represents a significant advancement in generative AI, allowing models to provide high-quality outputs without memorizing all the facts internally, but rather by knowing (GPT4-0web)

Per Axbom does a nice overview of actors and stakeholders to take into account when thinking about AI's impact and ethics. Some of these are mentioned in the [[EU AI Regulation]] but not all actors mentioned there are mentioned here I think: EU act not only defines users (of the application) but also users of the output of an application separately. This to ensure that outputs from un-checked or illegal applications outside the EU market are admissable to the EU market.

Performing optimization in the latent space can more flexibly model underlying data distributions than mechanistic approaches in the original hypothesis space. However, extrapolative prediction in sparsely explored regions of the hypothesis space can be poor. In many scientific disciplines, hypothesis spaces can be vastly larger than what can be examined through experimentation. For instance, it is estimated that there are approximately 1060 molecules, whereas even the largest chemical libraries contain fewer than 1010 molecules12,159. Therefore, there is a pressing need for methods to efficiently search through and identify high-quality candidate solutions in these largely unexplored regions.
Question: how does this notion of hypothesis space relate to causal inference and reasoning?

Openai is looking to predict performance and safety because models are too big to be evaluated directly. To me this implies a high probability that people start to replace their own capabilities with models not enough safe and relevant. It could cause misalignment between people and their environment, or worse their perception of their environment.

“What are the enduring questions she should be asking herself?” Weiss said. “Is it OK to work alongside an AI for this type of task versus this type of task?

LLMs are merely engines for generating stylistically plausible output that fits the patterns of their inputs, rather than for producing accurate information. Publishers worry that a rise in their use might lead to greater numbers of poor-quality or error-strewn manuscripts — and possibly a flood of AI-assisted fakes.

Plex is a scientific philosophy. Instead of claiming that science is so powerfulthat it can explain the understanding of understanding in question, we takeunderstanding as the open question, and set about to determine what scienceresults. [It turns out to be precisely the science we use every day, so nothingneed be discarded or overturned - but many surprises result. Some very simpleexplanations for some very important scientific observations arise naturally inthe course of Plex development. For example, from the First Definition, thereare several Plex proofs that there was no beginning, contrary to StephenHawking's statement that "this idea that time and space should be finite withoutboundary is just a proposal: it cannot be deduced from some other principle."(A Brief History of Time, p. 136.) The very concept of a "big bang" is strictlyan inherent artifact of our science's view of the nature of nature. There was no"initial instant" of time.]Axioms are assumptions. Plex has no axioms - only definitions. (Only) Noth-ing is assumed to be known without definition, and even that is "by definition" ,
It doesn't claim that science can explain everything, but rather, it uses science to explore and understand our understanding of the world. The surprising part is that the science it uses is the same science we use daily, so nothing new needs to be learned or old knowledge discarded.
One example of a surprising discovery made through Plex is that, contrary to Stephen Hawking's theory, there was no beginning to time and space. This contradicts the popular "big bang" theory, which suggests there was an initial moment when time and space began. According to Plex, this idea of a "big bang" is just a result of how our current science views the nature of the universe.
Plex also differs from other scientific approaches in that it doesn't rely on axioms, which are assumptions made without proof. Instead, Plex only uses definitions, meaning it only accepts as true what can be clearly defined and understood.
We're saying let's consider the concept of a "big bang". In traditional science, we might assume the existence of a "big bang" like this:
instead of thinking
big_bang = TrueBut in Plex, we would only accept the "big bang" if we can define it:
python def big_bang(): # Define what a "big bang" is # If we can't define it, then it doesn't exist in Plex passLet's not assume reality but rather just try to define the elements we need to use

- the precautionary principle needs to be observed with AI because it has such vast artificial cognitive, pattern-recognition processes at its disposal
- AI will also make mistakes, but the degree of power behind the mistaken decision, recommendation or action is the degree of unintended consequences or progress trap
- An example nightmare scenario could be:
- AI could decide that humans are contradicting their own goal of a stable climate system and if it's in control, may think it knows better and perform whole system change that dramatically reduces human induced climate change but actually harms a lot of humans in the process, for reaching the goal of saving the climate system plus a sufficient subset of humans to start all over.

inventions have extended man’s physicalpowers rather than the powers of his mind.
I found this particularly interesting especially considering to the 'AI revolution' of sorts we are experiencing today. With tools such as ChatGPT, one may argue that our 'powers of the mind' will begin to decrease provided that we will become tempted to turn to this tool (and others) to do our work for us. Innovation continues to extend our physical rather than intellectual capabilities.

T9 (text prediction):generative AI::handgun:machine gun
-
Some may not realize it yet, but the shift in technology represented by ChatGPT is just another small evolution in the chain of predictive text with the realms of information theory and corpus linguistics.
Claude Shannon's work along with Warren Weaver's introduction in The Mathematical Theory of Communication (1948), shows some of the predictive structure of written communication. This is potentially better underlined for the non-mathematician in John R. Pierce's book An Introduction to Information Theory: Symbols, Signals and Noise (1961) in which discusses how one can do a basic analysis of written English to discover that "e" is the most prolific letter or to predict which letters are more likely to come after other letters. The mathematical structures have interesting consequences like the fact that crossword puzzles are only possible because of the repetitive nature of the English language or that one can use the editor's notation "TK" (usually meaning facts or date To Come) in writing their papers to make it easy to find missing information prior to publication because the statistical existence of the letter combination T followed by K is exceptionally rare and the only appearances of it in long documents are almost assuredly areas which need to be double checked for data or accuracy.
Cell phone manufacturers took advantage of the lower levels of this mathematical predictability to create T9 predictive text in early mobile phone technology. This functionality is still used in current cell phones to help speed up our texting abilities. The difference between then and now is that almost everyone takes the predictive magic for granted.
As anyone with "fat fingers" can attest, your phone doesn't always type out exactly what you mean which can result in autocorrect mistakes (see: DYAC (Damn You AutoCorrect)) of varying levels of frustration or hilarity. This means that when texting, one needs to carefully double check their work before sending their text or social media posts or risk sending their messages to Grand Master Flash instead of Grandma.
The evolution in technology effected by larger amounts of storage, faster processing speeds, and more text to study means that we've gone beyond the level of predicting a single word or two ahead of what you intend to text, but now we're predicting whole sentences and even paragraphs which make sense within a context. ChatGPT means that one can generate whole sections of text which will likely make some sense.
Sadly, as we know from our T9 experience, this massive jump in predictability doesn't mean that ChatGPT or other predictive artificial intelligence tools are "magically" correct! In fact, quite often they're wrong or will predict nonsense, a phenomenon known as AI hallucination. Just as with T9, we need to take even more time and effort to not only spell check the outputs from the machine, but now we may need to check for the appropriateness of style as well as factual substance!
The bigger near-term problem is one of human understanding and human communication. While the machine may appear to magically communicate (often on our behalf if we're publishing it's words under our names), is it relaying actual meaning? Is the other person reading these words understanding what was meant to have been communicated? Do the words create knowledge? Insight?
We need to recall that Claude Shannon specifically carved semantics and meaning out of the picture in the second paragraph of his seminal paper:
Frequently the messages have meaning; that is they refer to or are correlated according to some system with certain physical or conceptual entities. These semantic aspects of communication are irrelevant to the engineering problem.
So far ChatGPT seems to be accomplishing magic by solving a small part of an engineering problem by being able to explore the adjacent possible. It is far from solving the human semantic problem much less the un-adjacent possibilities (potentially representing wisdom or insight), and we need to take care to be aware of that portion of the unsolved problem. Generative AIs are also just choosing weighted probabilities and spitting out something which is prone to seem possible, but they're not optimizing for which of many potential probabilities is the "best" or the "correct" one. For that, we still need our humanity and faculties for decision making.

We may also need to explore The Bandwagon, an early effect which Shannon noticed and commented upon. Everyone seems to be piling on the AI bandwagon right now...

Roland Barthes (1915-1980, France, literary critic/theorist) declared the death of the author (in English in 1967 and in French a year later). An author's intentions and biography are not the means to explain definitively what the meaning of a (fictional I think) text is. [[Observator geeft betekenis 20210417124703]] dwz de lezer bepaalt.
Barthes reduceert auteur to de scribent, die niet verder bestaat dan m.b.t. de voortbrenging van de tekst. Het werk staat geheel los van de maker. Kwam het tegen in [[Information edited by Ann Blair]] in lemma over de Reader.
Don't disagree with the notion that readers glean meaning in layers from a text that the author not intended. But thinking about the author's intent is one of those layers. Separating the author from their work entirely is cutting yourself of from one source of potential meaning.
In [[Generative AI detectie doe je met context 20230407085245]] I posit that seeing the author through the text is a neccesity as proof of human creation, not #algogen My point there is that there's only a scriptor and no author who's own meaning, intention and existence becomes visible in a text.

In traditional artforms characterized by direct manipulation [32]of a material (e.g., painting, tattoo, or sculpture), the creator has a direct hand in creating thefinal output, and therefore it is relatively straightforward to identify the creator’s intentions andstyle in the output. Indeed, previous research has shown the relative importance of “intentionguessing” in the artistic viewing experience [33, 34], as well as the increased creative valueafforded to an artwork if elements of the human process (e.g., brushstrokes) are visible [35].However, generative techniques have strong aesthetics themselves [36]; for instance, it hasbecome apparent that certain generative tools are built to be as “realistic” as possible, resultingin a hyperrealistic aesthetic style. As these aesthetics propagate through visual culture, it can bedifficult for a casual viewer to identify the creator’s intention and individuality within the out-puts. Indeed, some creators have spoken about the challenges of getting generative AI modelsto produce images in new, different, or unique aesthetic styles [36, 37].
Traditional artforms (direct manipulation) versus AI (tools have a built-in aesthetic)
Some authors speak of having to wrestle control of the AI output from its trained style, making it challenging to create unique aesthetic styles. The artist indirectly influences the output by selecting training data and manipulating prompts.
As use of the technology becomes more diverse—as consumer photography did over the last century, the authors point out—how will biases and decisions by the owners of the AI tools influence what creators are able to make?
To a limited extent, this is already happening in photography. The smartphones are running algorithms on image sensor data to construct the picture. This is the source of controversy; see Why Dark and Light is Complicated in Photographs | Aaron Hertzmann’s blog and Putting Google Pixel's Real Tone to the test against other phone cameras - The Washington Post.

Examples include press releases, short reports, and analysis plans — documents that were reported as realistic for the type of writing these professionals engaged in as part of their work.
Have in mind the genres tested.
Looking from a perspective of "how might we use such tools in UX" we're better served by looking at documents that UX generates through the lens of identifying parallels to the study's findings for business documents.
To use AI to generate drafts, we'll want to look at AI tools built into design tools UXers use to create drafts. Those tools are under development but still developing.
-
the estimates of how users divided their times between different stages of document generation were based on self-reported numbers
The numbers for how users divided their time may not be reliable as they're self-reported.
Still leaves me curious about the accuracy of reported brainstorming time.
-
the productivity and quality improvements are likely due to a switch in the business professionals’ time allocation: less time spent on cranking out initial draft text and more time spent polishing the final result.
This points to AI providing the best time savings in draft generation, which fits with the idea of having the AI generate the drafts based on the professional's queries.
For UX designers, this points to AI in a design tool being most useful when it generates drafts (sketches) that the designer then revises. Where UX deliverables don't compare easily to written deliverables is the contextual factors that influence the design, like style guides or design systems. Design too AI assistants don't yet factor those in, though it seems likely it will, if provided style guides and design systems in a format it can read.
Given a draft of sufficient quality that it doesn't require longer to revise than a draft the designer would create on their own, getting additional time to refine sounds great.
I'm not sure what to make of the reduced time to brainstorm when using AI. Without additional information, it's hard not to assume that the AI tool may be influencing the direction of brainstorming as professionals think through the queries they'll use to get the AI to generate the most useful draft possible.

We assume the AI will generate what a human collaborator might generate given the prompt.
Mistaken human assumptions that AI will generate what a human would given the same prompt are reinforced by claims by those selling AI tools that such tools "understand human language." We don't actually know that AI understands, just that it provides a result that we can interpret as understanding (with the help of our cognitive biases).
This claim to understanding is especially misleading for neural network-based AI. We don't know how neural networks think. With older Lisp based AI we could at least trace through the code to see how the AI thinks.
-
we can improve AI interfaces by enabling conversational interactions that can let users establish common ground/shared semantics with the AI, and that provide repair mechanisms when such shared semantics are missing.
By providing interfaces to AI tools that help us duplicate the aligning, clarifying, and iterating behaviors that we perform with human collaborators we can increase the sense that users can predict what results the AI will provide in subsequent iterations. This will remove the frustration of working with a collaborator that doesn't understand you.
-
Collaborating with another human is better than working with generative AI in part because conversation allows us to establish common ground, build shared semantics and engage in repair strategies when something is ambiguous.
Collaborating with humans beats collaborating with AI because we can sync up our mental models, clarify ambiguity, and iterate.
Current AI tools are limited in the methods they make available to perform these tasks.
-
finding effective prompts is so difficult that there are websites and forums dedicated to collecting and sharing prompts (e.g. PromptHero, Arthub.ai, Reddit/StableDiffusion). There are also marketplaces for buying and selling prompts (e.g. PromptBase). And there is a cottage industry of research papers on prompt engineering.
Natural language alone is a poor interface for creating an effective prompt. So bad that communities and businesses are surfacing to help people create effective prompts.

We are nowhere near having a self-driving cars on our roads, which confirms that we are nowhere near AGI.
This does not follow. The reason we don't have self driving cars is because the entire effort is car based not physical environment based. Self driving trains are self driving because of rails and external sensors and signals. Make rails of data, and self driving cars are like trains. No AI, let alone AGI needed.
