I think people just don't know enough about LLMs. Yeah, it can make you stupid. It can easily make you stupid if you rely on it for anything. At the same time, though, it's an absolutely essential tutoring resource for people that don't have access to highly-specialized personnel.

AI is a dangerous tool. If you get sucked into it and offload all your thinking to it, yeah, you're gonna be screwed. But just because it's dangerous doesn't mean that no one knows how to wield it effectively. We REALLY have to have more education about AI and the potential benefits it has to learning. By being open to conversations like this, we can empower the next generation that grows up with AI in schools to use it wisely and effectively.

Instead? We've been shaming it for existing. It's not going to stop. The only way to survive through the AI age intact is to adapt, and that means knowing how to use AI as a tool -- not as a therapist, or an essay-writer, or just a way to get away with plagiarism. AI is an incredibly powerful resource, and we are being silly to ignore it as it slowly becomes more and more pervasive in society

Posts on Reddit Praising AI As A "Therapist" Could Be Fake and Here's Why

I couldn't screenshot the entire post but in the whole post, reviewing and praising AI as a personal therapist, nowhere does it mention that you are giving your deepest personal information on yourself to these online companies. Is it possible in all the excitement surrounding AI that some of us have forgotten these companies are based on a business model that collects as much information and personal data they can on their users in order to manipulate them as much as possible? I don't think so. These posts are designed by industry insiders to encourage compliance and acceptance of AI in the population. They want you to spill your guts to their LLMs because they want to form a deeper psychological profile on you than the one they already have and sell it to third party advertisers. Don't fall for it.

The Reddit user who made the post even admits to being an industry insider at the bottom of their post, which you can't see in the screenshot since it got cut off. But here is the link so you can read it in full for yourself:

I don't argue that therapy through AI probably has many advantages we should all utilize...but before spilling our most private secrets to an AI "therapist" there must be certain guarantees for privacy and laws in place protecting the user before doing so. Ideally, the program would be open sourced and not connected to any large business entity. An even better version of an AI "therapist" would, in fact, be completely self-contained and disconnected from any connection to the Internet so no information you enter ever leaves your own computer-- a DVD version or other offline psychological reference database perhaps? Some version where everyone but you and the AI program is locked out.

The point is, don't grant these companies unconditional access to the most personal secrets about yourself. They or their third party advertisers will only use this information to further manipulate and control you.

Field Testing AI - FLOR-ID

Got some good field testing done on the flower ID app last week. A nice, relatively straightforward, bit of coding to try out how TensorFlow works on Android devices.

Uses the Oxford-102 Flowers dataset, and a Convolutional Neural Network, to identify flowers. Fairly straightforward for a model.

Of course, using on pre-taken datasets is nice, but the real world provides a much greater bounty of real flowers to classify!

A great excuse for a walk around the South coast and see some fun sights. Also an excuse to wolf down some pub-grub and see the sun for once after getting stapled to a damn chair.

Currently, returning the top predicted result gives around a 75% accuracy when given images of what it's already seen.

With other projects in the works, I might not work too much more on this. Considering adding in a Top-5 prediction output, "achievement" style checklist to "catch-em-all" and a URL functionality to open a Wikipedia entry for each flower - so you can check the accuracy for yourself. Also, likely to add in a "no flower" class to the dataset, just to avoid classifying concrete as a Dandelion or something silly like that. If anyone has better flower datasets (Creative Commons licence/similar with more classes) I'd be very interested to know.

If you want a copy to compile an .apk for yourself, you can grab the current version here:

Currently gathering the dusty old code I've made over the past couple of years on the Desktop PC and putting it together on GitHub, so there will be more goodies on the way.

Who decided it was a good idea to make a "if you don't know the answer, just lie" feature in ChatGPT and other AI chatbots? When you question them, they just give you another inaccurate answer. I had to literally tell ChatGPT that it's okay if it doesn't know the answer, it can just tell me so. I rarely, and I mean rarely, use AI and it makes me more and more uncomfortable every time.

How to Create an AI Model: A Step-by-Step Guide

Creating an efficient AI model is crucial for companies seeking a competitive edge in today’s market, projected to reach USD 827 billion by 2030. These models, which can analyze vast datasets, help identify patterns and predict trends, thereby enabling informed decision-making. However, challenges such as data quality and bias remain significant. Companies must set clear objectives, prepare and clean data, select appropriate algorithms, and continuously evaluate and refine their models. By leveraging AI effectively, organizations, including development firms like Devstree, can enhance operational efficiency and unlock new growth opportunities in an increasingly competitive landscape.

I just realized that Stanford's Stanza is already trained for Latin. Its Latin translations are not the best - but it is better than starting from scratch.

I need to see how to integrade it with tesseract, but this is so good to see.
