As educators and scientists, we can and should communicate clearly that generative AI tools are not sentient, have no capacity for truth, and are merely complex statistical algorithms dressed up in a plain language outfit.
Oh, joy, and now something inside Meta is crawling me. This makes me think that tthe #GenAI overlords are watching YCombinator and crawling everything that gets on the front page. Meta User-Agent: "facebookexternalhit/1.1 (+http://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php)"
I see that openai.com/gptbot is crawling my blog, top to bottom, side to side. I’m sure OpenAI has consulted the “Rights” link clearly displayed on every page, invoking a Creative Commons license that freely grants rights to reuse and remix but not for commercial purposes.
@ben Wow, when I posted that original FEP 18 months ago - now moved to https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/c118/fep-c118.md - the thing people were most worried about was search. Now that we have reasonable opt-in Fediverse search, I felt less urgency. But now that you point it out, it's obvious that the problem of #GenAI crawlers is the same problem, and the proposal is probably interesting again. After all the discussion, I was beginning to think that ODRL was an attractive alternative.
“I speak to a lot of businesses around #AI, and particularly #GenAI, and I’m sensing a #hype fatigue. Part of this is due to the challenging of bridging the gap from PoC to production"
I can't imagine working without GenAI any more. I often write quick bash scripts to automate things, but for some reason, the syntax always falls out of my head and I'm constantly looking things up.
Now I just hit ChatGPT and ask it to write the script for me. With the latest version, is usually works perfectly the first time, so long as I craft a good prompt. This is a huge productivity boost.
