ChatGPT won’t be your doctor
Commercial frontier AI models like ChatGPT and Llama are known to hallucinate, but research proving this is redundant.

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…

Link: Edtech predictions for 2024
https://edtechinsiders.substack.com/p/2024-edtech-predictions-from-edtech There were two edtech predictions that stood out for me: “Gemini’s multi-modal focus – engaging with text, images, video, and audio in the same environment rather than as separate features – is what we think might separate Gemini from ChatGPT in the long run. The possibilities that multi-modal function unlocks in the edtech sector…
