ChatGPT shows hiring bias against people with disabilities
Language models exhibit hiring bias against people with disabilities, ranking resumes with disability-related achievements lower than those without. However, this bias mirrors existing societal prejudices in human hiring practices. While AI bias can be reduced through simple prompts, addressing human bias is a lot more challenging.

ChatGPT won’t be your doctor
Commercial frontier AI models like ChatGPT and Llama are known to hallucinate, but research proving this is redundant. Instead, attention should be on specialised medical AI systems like Google’s AMIE, which are showing impressive improvements in diagnostic accuracy. These purpose-built models, not general-purpose language models, are likely to be integrated into healthcare products.

More to AI detection than accuracy
AI text detectors, like OpenAI’s 99.9% accurate tool, aren’t the solution to academic cheating. These detectors have limitations, including model-specific detection and manipulable statistical features. We’re not going to find answers by entering into an arms race with students, by trying to build increasingly accurate AI detectors.

ChatGPT, turn my article into a public radio-type conversation
I asked ChatGPT to 1) summarise my article for a lay audience, 2) create a transcript of a public radio-type conversation, 3) generate a downloadable audio file of the conversation. It took 10 seconds.

Using generative AI for search
Recently, I’ve shifted from using DuckDuckGo to consulting AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini for information, especially on technical topics well-covered in training datasets. These AI tools often provide concise, note-like answers, similar to manual collations I used to do. Examples include managing partitions in Windows 11, running beta versions of software on Ubuntu,…

What OpenAI did
https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/what-openai-did With universal free access, the educational value of AI skyrockets (and that doesn’t count voice and vision, which I will discuss shortly). On the other hand, the Homework Apocalypse will reach its final stages. GPT-4 can do almost all the homework on Earth. And it writes much better than GPT-3.5, with a lot more…

OpenAI makes GPT-4 available to everyone for free
https://openai.com/index/spring-update This is a big update that (probably) pushes ChatGPT back into the clear leader spot. Omni’s voice, audio and video capabilities are interesting, but I think the bigger news is that OpenAI is now making GPT-4 level generative AI available to everyone for free. Considering that the free version of ChatGPT was using GPT-3.5,…

Using Perplexity to find the source of a quote
I just used Perplexity to solve a problem that was doing my head in. I wanted to find the source of a popular quote by an author named Shannon Hale. The problem is that the quote is reproduced on hundreds of sites, and all the sites I tried (using Google and DuckDuckGo) didn’t provide the…

Stop using AI detection services because they don’t work
The researchers conclude that the available detection tools are neither accurate nor reliable and have a main bias towards classifying the output as human-written rather than detecting AI-generated text. Furthermore, content obfuscation techniques significantly worsen the performance of tools. Weber-Wulff, et al. (2023). Testing of detection tools for AI-generated text. International Journal for Educational Integrity,…

My thoughts on the different generative AI tools I’m using
TL;DR Here are is my ranked list of suggestions, based on my own experiences and use-cases: Over the past year or so, I’ve been experimenting with a few different language models and image generators. Over time, I narrowed in on Claude, and wrote about my preference for using it over other options. A couple of…

Custom Instructions for ChatGPT
ChatGPT’s custom instructions allow you to add preferences or requirements that you’d like ChatGPT to consider when generating its responses. It’s super useful to include this information in the context frame so that you don’t have to keep telling the model what that context is. “ChatGPT will consider your custom instructions for every conversation going…

Podcast: Using language models to support thinking
in AIhttps://www.cognitiverevolution.ai/using-chatgpt-as-a-copilot-for-your-mind/ “In this episode, Nathan chats to Dan Shipper, CEO and Co-founder of Every, for the series “How I Use Chat-GPT”. They discuss Nathan’s prompting techniques for creative and cognitive labour, and using GPT in copilot instead of delegation mode.” I got a lot of practical advice out of this episode. Strongly recommended if you’re…
