Paper – Reclaiming voice with AI
Mirza, F. N., Bogan, A., Beam, A. L., Manrai, A. K., & Ali, R. (2024). Reclaiming Voice with AI. NEJM AI, 1(12). In a world-first application, OpenAI’s Voice Engine was used to clone Ms. Bogan’s voice from just 15 seconds of preexisting audio, sourced from a school project she had filmed a few years prior. This enabled…

The significance of OpenAI’s $6.6B investment round
OpenAI’s unprecedented $6.6 billion investment raise suggests they demonstrated something remarkable to investors, though not necessarily just raw intelligence gains. Whether it’s improved safety, efficiency, or multimodal capabilities, this massive vote of confidence hints at breakthroughs we haven’t yet seen publicly—developments that could reshape AI’s integration into society.

Being inaccurate isn’t the same as being useless
New research on AI model factual accuracy shows that while language models struggle with certain difficult questions, this doesn’t diminish their value as thinking partners. Like human conversations, where perfect accuracy isn’t required for productive discussion, AI’s occasional inaccuracies don’t prevent it from being a useful collaborative tool.

Diminishing returns of LLMs doesn’t stop progress
Recent discussions about LLM diminishing returns suggest OpenAI’s next frontier model may not be significantly smarter than GPT-4. However, this plateau in intelligence doesn’t diminish the technology’s potential, as improvements can focus on making models cheaper, faster, smaller, and better at specific tasks rather than increasing raw intelligence.

Next version of OpenAI’s LLMs might not be much smarter than GPT-4
Matthias Bastian (2024-11-10). OpenAI’s New “Orion” Model Reportedly Shows Small Gains Over GPT-4. OpenAI’s next major language model, codenamed “Orion,” delivers much smaller performance gains than expected. OpenAI researchers point to insufficient high-quality training data as one reason for the slowdown. Most publicly available texts and data have already been used. The slowdown in LLM…

Court ruling: Language models don’t copy information; they synthesise it
in AIMasse, B. (2024, November 8). OpenAI’s data scraping wins big as Raw Story’s copyright lawsuit dismissed by NY court. VentureBeat. The judge noted that “the likelihood that ChatGPT would output plagiarized content from one of Plaintiffs’ articles seems remote.” This reflects a key difficulty in these types of cases: generative AI is designed to synthesize…

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.

AI tutors are getting very good
I know the idea of AI replicating some parts of the function of a tutor isn’t that comfortable, and there are whole rafts of the more human aspects, such as emotional intelligence, that this work doesn’t go near. But also, we know many students value AI for learning. They value its availability, patience, and lack…
