Simple use cases to get you started with #AI copywriting 👇🏻

⌨️ Rewrite boilerplate

Google’s Webmaster Guidelines say you should minimize boilerplate content for maximum SEO benefit, and AI is excellent at regurgitating copy.

Jasper.ai’s paragraph generator tool rewrites up to 800 characters into a similar—yet different—boilerplate.

🖊️ Tackle writer’s block

Everyone needs a friend, and sometimes that friend is a robot. 🤖

Querying AI and reading as its stream of consciousness response appears, one line at a time, is a truly therapeutic and invigorating experience.

💻 Recycle evergreen content

Turn your evergreen content into a garden of fresh blooms with AI. Ask ChatGPT to rewrite your blog and specify the level of similarity to the original. In a brief moment, you’ll have a fresh blog.

Pro tip: use Grammarly for edits and tone adjustments for maximum ease.

Whether you’ve used AI for copywriting already, or are thinking about crafting your first prompt, share your thoughts! 💭

Let me tell you about the time I went to the beach and saw a unicorn that was made of sand. I tried to ride it, but it just sank into the sand. I was really disappointed, but then I found a seashell that was shaped like a unicorn horn. I took it home and put it in my aquarium. It's the only thing that I have left to remember the unicorn by.

The last point was how all of this has been packaged as a game and, thus, seen as “harmless,” because it’s a game. It was, the commentator offered, a caution against Big Tech and the successes herein.

📝 Scaling Expert Language Models with Unsupervised Domain Discovery 📚👾

"Introduces a simple but effective method to asynchronously train large, sparse language models on arbitrary text corpora, and outperform dense baselines on multiple corpora and few-shot tasks." [gal30b+] 🤖 #CL #AI

⚙️ https://github.com/kernelmachine/
🔗 https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.14177v1 #arxiv

Figure 5. Increasing cluster count in C-BTM improves language modeling performance for a fixed compute budget (§4.1). Performance of ELMs trained with C-BTM as a function of the total number of tokens trained on, which, in our experiments, equalizes FLOP count. Training with more than one cluster always outperforms the compute-matched, single cluster dense model, and we observe improving performance (and in §4.2, faster updates) as we increase the number of clusters.

Figure 6. There exists an optimal cluster count for each compute budget (§4.1). The optimal cluster count increases as one increases the compute budget, but using too many clusters without sufficiently increasing compute can degrade performance. For both C4 and S2ORC, 16 clusters gets the best performance at the highest budget (168B tokens), although higher cluster counts still outperform the 1-cluster (dense) model (x = 1 in this graph).

Figure 16. Clusters and metadata do not perfectly align (§7.4). Each cell in the heatmap is the % overlap between a cluster and a metadata label identifying the field-of-study of a document in S2ORC; high overlap indicates that most documents with the corresponding label get assigned to the corresponding cluster. While documents with certain labels (e.g., Environmental Science, Political Science, Business) get primarily assigned to a single cluster, documents with other labels (e.g., Engineering, Physics, Computer Science) are distributed across multiple clusters.

Figure 2. C-BTM training process (§2.1). C-BTM begins with unsupervised domain discovery using k-means clustering. We then initialize expert language models (ELMs) with a seed language model (e.g., OPT; Zhang et al. 2022) and train an ELM on each cluster. The resulting experts are added to a larger collection for sparse inference.

#CHATGPT #AI #GraduateApplications

I've been going around applying for graduate positions since I finish my stint at university term this year (around August)

Was a bit shocked when a friend suggested that that I put all my experiences into ChatGPT and ask it to make a cover letter for me/other things I would need for the graduate application.

I was further shocked that upon me saying "Nah i'll do it myself" that I was met with "why?", they explained that the AI would do it better. It wasn't cheating technically, so why did I not want to do that.

Honestly I had nothing to say to that. I have no idea why I didn't want to do it. It just feels wrong? I know that it's probably smarter and that I am actively damaging my prospects by not doing so but, it feels wrong.

Maybe I'm too sentimental a human, too flawed and naive to take advantage of a great tool. It just feels wrong, it may also be because I am a person with a disability and I have volunteered and gotten casual jobs around that and my experience is too emotionally based that I can't separate myself from it. Or my bias assumes that if I don't write it, it won't feel right.

Regardless what do you guys think? Does it make sense that I have a sense of apprehension about using ChatGPT for Graduate applications(Or other things)? And would you use ChatGPT to do your work applications?

It is obvious that there are only two arguments creatives (artists, writers) have against the use—and particularly the commercial use—of #AI prose and image generators, and that all other arguments, when stripped of their nonsense and inconsistencies, are just cover for these. First, that creatives want you to not use these tools, and to pay them instead. Second, that computers making prose and images are creepy. The debate about this tech would be far more fruitful if we acknowledged this.

Aaron Ross Powell ☸️

Just finished an essay, coming Friday to my newsletter, about one of the dumbest arguments against #ChatGPT, #Midjourney, and other #AI prose and image generators. Namely, that they are somehow stealing artists' IP by creating new works similar to their style. Every point made to advance the case for IP theft applies equally to other human artists, and so if this argument is true, then, in a reductio ad absurdum, every human artist is an IP thief, too.

#AI #GenerativeAI: "Many illustrators, designers, and photographers are furious that their work had been scraped from the internet to train an A.I. Last September, Mathew Dryhust, an artist and academic, and the experimental electronic artist Holly Herndon, created HaveIBeenTrained, a tool that enables you to see if your images have been used and then request that future A.I. models avoid them. It recently became clear that this was more than a subversive art project when the CEO of the company behind Stable Diffusion, one of the most widely used A.I. image generators, gave people a March 3 deadline to opt out using Herndon and Dryhurst’s tool. Millions of requests poured in, Dryhurst told me. As of this week, around 40,000 artists and many companies, including Shutterstock, a major image distributor, have opted out."

I haven't checked out my horoscope in an age, but if I was someone who frequently looked to sites like horoscope dot com or astrology dot com for my latest readings... I don't think I'd be happy to learn how much of the content on there is derived from OpenAI's GPT models.

It's just "chat" they said. Nothing bad could happen out of chatting, right? Wrong.

Will these disasters force us to be responsible with AI?

I doubt it.

We are so trigger happy on deploying algorithms that any serious ethical consideration comes after the afterthought, so it's window-dressed for ethics washing.

Algorithms, despite being made of "software" leave hard imprints on society.

> While criti-hype might look like a good strategy because it is based on the PR narratives that corporations have already sold the public it’s quite the opposite. Not only does it empower the people selling “#AI” to keep doing it (because they can always label this form of criticism as hysteric and they got this, really) but it narrows the space of potentials.

If AI is dangerous, then it should be nationalized like uranium enrichment. And if it's not, civilians should be allowed to innovate and use. Limiting it to a few companies of a few nations, is neither here nor there.

to be clear, the concerns about large #AI models laid out by the drafters of the Future of Life petition are largely not the ones I have. & Future of Life is a #rationalist/#transhumanist project with very unpleasant roots & associations.

but many non-rationalists have signed the petition, & I don't care that some of the language is typical AI hype. serious regulation of this sector is needed, & a pause in development risks virtually nothing of value & will hopefully spur regulators to action.

Update. Most of the pieces I've seen on #AI / #LLMs focus on language generation & seem unaware that the larger models have #emergent properties.
https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-unpredictable-abilities-emerging-from-large-ai-models-20230316/

"These models supposedly have one directive: to accept a string of text as input & predict what comes next, over & over, based purely on statistics. Computer scientists anticipated that scaling up would boost performance on known tasks, but they didn’t expect the models to suddenly handle so many new, unpredictable ones."

I'm giving You.com a try regarding #AI

Today I had a bit of a problem with Open.ai's availability while You.com quickly helped me cobbling together a little bash script. They have some Stable Diffusion toy etc too.

@nazgul I'm playing with Wavelength on my iPhone SE OG. The user interface IMO is not super intuitive (sorry Mr. Gruber) but managed to ask questions of chatGPT.

I asked it to write Python code to sort a list, and it did. It also knows who is president of the USA.

It seems if it does not want to answer (or doesn't know answer) it stays silent but I may be WRONG!

The friend who told me about Wavelength hasn't had time to play with it yet.

ChatGPT just straight up lying again, none of these apps can do it #ai

are there any svg compressors online that also compress bitmaps embedded in the svg?

Yes, there are several online SVG compressors that can also compress bitmaps embedded in the SVG. Some examples of these compressors include:

SVGOMG - This is a free online tool that allows you to compress SVG files, including any embedded bitmap images. You can upload your SVG file or paste the code directly into the tool, and it will optimize the file by removing any unnecessary code and compressing bitmap images.
SVG-optimiser - This is another free online tool that can compress both SVG files and any embedded bitmaps. It has a simple interface that allows you to upload your file and select the level of compression you want to apply.
SVGminify - This is a free online tool that can compress SVG files, including embedded bitmaps. It uses various optimization techniques to reduce the file size without affecting the quality of the image.

@thunderbird Personally, I think the current flurry of #OpenAI #GPT models are a solution in search of a problem. There may indeed be problem domains for which these could be useful. But the best use cases I can imagine for me are models that would run locally, gather my data, not share it anywhere, and let me mine my stuff for my needs.

What we’re seeing now is a curiosity at best. It can’t be trusted to produce anything factual, given current state. #AI

many people are entirely unaware of how much influence the proto-fascist (at best) communities around so-called #rationalism have over both the discourse around #AI and its actual development.

here's the best piece we have so far that makes these connections explicit https://viewpointmag.com/2017/03/28/the-darkness-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel-artificial-intelligence-and-neoreaction/

Thanks to one of my awesome colleagues who shared this. Pretty simple, solid decision tree here.
#Salami #AI #ChatGPT

Decision tree diagram:
Is it safe to use ChatGPT for your task? Aleksandr Tiulkanov | January 19, 2023.

Start: Does it matter if the output Y=YE is true?
No: Safe to use ChatGPT.
Yes: Do you have expertise to verify if the output is accurate?
No: Unsafe to use ChatGPT.
Yes: Are you able and willing to take full responsibility (legal, moral, etc) for missed
inaccuracies?
No: Unsafe to use ChatGPT.
Yes: Possible to use ChatGPT*

* But be sure to verify each output word and sentence for accuracy and common sense.
