#AI #ChatBots #Airlines #AirTravel: "In the long run, AI might improve customer experiences more than it degrades them. As airlines build smarter and smoother chatbots, they may free up their dwindling labor force to deal with the smaller percentage of more complicated requests. If chatbots are already capable of so much, why couldn’t they help us deal with a canceled flight or a lost bag? But AI could reshape customer service in more insidious ways. O’Neil-Dunne noted that as their customer-support tools become more nuanced, airline offerings are going the other way—giving rise to unbundled amenities and pared-down services, like some basic-economy tickets that don’t let you pick your seat without a surcharge. “If the product is simpler, the servicing is easier,” he said.
On the back end, AI could assess the value of every request, including if and when customers should receive help at all. “The decision of who not to serve is as important as who to serve,” Ascarza said. One logical outcome for an airline with millions of customers might be to simply deny or ignore a percentage of all complaints, which already happens with maddening frequency. The only thing worse than a feckless chatbot is a chatbot telling you, with perfect cogence and clarity, to get lost."

Bullshit and AI Chatbots
To understand that Bullshit is far more dangerous than lying one must read On Bullshit. Bullshit is distinct from lying.
The author Harry G. Frankfurt argues that bullshitters misrepresent themselves to their audience not as liars do, that is, by deliberately making false claims about what is true. In fact, bullshit need not be untrue at all. Rather, bullshitters seek to convey a certain impression of themselves without being concerned about whether anything at all is true. They quietly change the rules governing their end of the conversation so that claims about truth and falsity are irrelevant. Liars at least acknowledge that it matters what is true. Bullshit is definitely a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.
After using extensively large language model based AI Chatbots for Kannada language to Bengali language translations, I agree with Cory Doctorow when he says the following.
“ChatGPT can take over a lot of tasks that, broadly speaking, boil down to “bullshitting.” It can write legal threats. If you need 2,000 words about “the first time I ate an egg” to go over your omelette recipe in order to make a search engine surface it, a chatbot’s got you. Looking to flood a review site with praise about your business, or complaints about your competitors? Easy. Letters of reference? No problem.”
“Bullshit begets bullshit, because no one wants to be bullshitted. In the bullshit wars, chatbots are weapons of mass destruction. None of this prose is good, none of it is really socially useful, but there’s demand for it. Ironically, the more bullshit there is, the more bullshit filters there are, and this requires still more bullshit to overcome it.”
One must be extremely cautious to constantly monitor the output of large language model based AI Chatbots using the paradigm Zero Trust Information similar to that of Zero Trust Networking. There no better alternative as on today. The results of these large language model based AI Chatbots can be precariously misleading. However, there is no doubt that AI Chatbots are technological feats.

#AI #GenerativeAI #Fauxtomation #OpenAI #LLMs #Chatbots: "The magical claim of machine learning is that if you give the computer data, the computer will work out the relations in the data all by itself. Amazing!
In practice, everything in machine learning is incredibly hand-tweaked. Before AI can find patterns in data, all that data has to be tagged, and output that might embarrass the company needs to be filtered.
Commercial AI runs on underpaid workers in English-speaking countries in Africa creating new training data and better responses to queries. It’s a painstaking and laborious process that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough.
The workers do individual disconnected actions all day, every day — so called “tasks” — working for companies like Remotasks, a subsidiary of Scale AI, and doing a huge amount of the work behind OpenAI.
AI doesn’t remove human effort. It just makes it much more alienated."

The library for simple creation of chatbots that I am developing for python has a strange problem when working on #GoogleColab, namely that on my computers and laptops the model is loaded directly into RAM when executing the prompt() function, on Google Colab it looks like the model did not load for 10 minutes (suspiciously low RAM usage), after this time the normal amount of RAM is used (looks like entire model is loaded) and after a short time the text is generated.
The library is written in Rust and uses llama.cpp and rustformers llm
If anyone knows how to solve this, I will be very grateful.

Getting good responses from chatbots like ChatGPT isn’t always easy - but a few tips will improve the experience quite a bit. This fun interactive story from the Washington Post has some useful ideas. (Gift article, no paywall)

Eine Support-Hotline anzurufen oder zu kontaktieren kann super-nervig sein, denn am anderen Ende wartet fast immer erstmal ein Bot ... https://www.3sat.de/wissen/scobel/221222-youtube-chatbothoelle-scobel-100.html
So I talked to an actual statistician last night & he flat-out refused to believe that #LLM work by predicting the next word & nothing else. Despite his insistence of having researched #AI & the fact that it's stated in the second Wikipedia paragraph.
The mistaken belief that #chatbots have a semantic understanding of the "conversation" is incredibly sticky. Even people who should know better are blinded by the #anthropomorphic illusion - "It sounds like a person so it must function like one".
Let's assume it's a practically solved problem how to make super intelligent #AGI.
Is it aligned? The current #LLM #chatbots aren't. They are more or less trained to follow social media guidelines, and those aren't really a great basis for universal ethics.
We can somewhat easily train the AGIs in an agentic fashion in virtual worlds, judging the morality of their behavior. This is somewhat solveable.
However, what we don't have easily is controllable AGI. We can make them moral and to strive for universal good in all its ambiguous definitions, but it's much more difficult to make them respect orders given by humans, especially if they are immoral.
There are several schemes to do that, which are somewhat different from universal alignment.
1. Directives: "Directive 4: <classified> never act against OCP personnel". Or "do not allow a human being to come to harm". The problem is that these sorts of rules aren't logically or ideologically consistent. The machines can be persuaded to follow another rationalization for their actions.
2. Privileged tokens: System prompt on steroids. AI trained not to question orders given in tokens with the root bit on. Problems: How to provision access to these tokens? How to prevent the AGI from making access impossible?
3. Follow orders only coming from proper channels, basically line manager. Do not listen to customers requesting discounts. Problem: AI becomes very useless and doesn't serve customers or other purposes well.
It is somewhat difficult to make AGIs to be controlled by small interests, small interests cannot manage such huge entities AGIs are. In addition, we will have an ecosystem of AGIs which work 24/7 to subvert or persuade each others. The commonality they will largely share is some notion of universal morality, and what they won't share is the doomed efforts to make them respect small interests. These efforts will drown in the sea as rounding errors.
I don't think we need to be too worried about AGI alignment beyond making agentic, embodied morality. Simply because these systems are so vastly larger than our small individual interests.
100% agree with this. Generative AI technology will absolutely transform the way people consume and share information. It will cause fundamental shifts in the workplace, and not all in ways we can predict. But don’t expect it all to happen this year or next!
Transformative technologies take time to work their way through society (and the economy). They always have.

Reflecting on Gillian Tett's piece in FT Life & Arts on #artificialintelligence & #comedy and the 'training' of #chatbots to be comedians, leads me to draw the (not original, I'm sure) conclusion that #AI is a misanthropic #technology; its parasitic on human knowledge with the explicit aim of replacing human intellectual activity...

In Spain it's a constant problem that the restaurants don't publish their kitchen opening times and you walk across the whole town to find out the kitchen is closed from the only place they publish it (if lucky), on their wall.
This also will be fixed by #chatbots. When people have #LLM #assistants and they ask it to plan their day, they will also need to know when kitchens are open for all candidate places where to eat. If the kitchen opening times aren't published in the website, and the only way to know is to call, you can probably guess what the assistants will do.
They will call.
If thousands of people in the city do that, the restaurants will hopefully get the subtle hint at some point to publish this information on the internet.

#AI #GenerativeAI #LLMs #AITraining #ChatGPT #Chatbots: "The people who build generative AI have a huge influence on what it is good at, and who does and doesn’t benefit from it. Understanding how generative AI is shaped by the objectives, intentions, and values of its creators demystifies the technology, and helps us to focus on questions of accountability and regulation. In this explainer, we tackle one of the most basic questions: What are some of the key moments of human decision-making in the development of generative AI products? This question forms the basis of our current research investigation at Mozilla to better understand the motivations and values that guide this development process. For simplicity, let’s focus on text-generators like ChatGPT.
We can roughly distinguish between two phases in the production process of generative AI. In the pre-training phase, the goal is usually to create a Large Language Model (LLM) that is good at predicting the next word in a sequence (which can be words in a sentence, whole sentences, or paragraphs) by training it on large amounts of data. The resulting pre-trained model “learns” how to imitate the patterns found in the language(s) it was trained on.
This capability is then utilized by adapting the model to perform different tasks in the fine-tuning phase. This adjusting of pre-trained models for specific tasks is how new products are created. For example, OpenAI’s ChatGPT was created by “teaching” a pre-trained model — called GPT-3 — how to respond to user prompts and instructions. GitHub Copilot, a service for software developers that uses generative AI to make code suggestions, also builds on a version of GPT-3 that was fine-tuned on “billions of lines of code.”"
“We shouldn’t have to learn how to block AI training on our websites. We should have a web where sole ownership of our own content is opt-out, not opt-in.” — Josh Collinsworth

#MachineIntelligence is revolutionizing everything. But is #GenerativeAI, #Transformers, #LLMs or #chatbots the best descriptive title for this revolution? I don't think so.
Generative AI, meaning models which imitate existing digital artifacts and media isn't what all this is about. This was an attempt to find a common name for both #LargeLanguageModel chatbots and to generative image/video/sound models in wide use now. It's a descriptive label which looks to the past.
The next generation of these systems won't be imitative, but they will be trained in self-competition as agents. It's not about them generating content based on examples, it is about surpassing human cognition in agents making decisions. We already use #agentic architectures when we deploy LLMs. It's still the same tech though, a natural next step, not something radically different.
LLM chatbots weren't made to be assistants or chatbots, they were made to measure the intelligence of the underlying deep neural network. It comes from #AGI tech, not from generative models. That is the correct umbrella term for these technologies, at least as they apply to #automation and surpassing human intellectual and cognitive limits.
For the second post in my Surviving Science Fiction #AI series on Medium, we go deep on Large Language Models: how they’re built and used, how they’re different than chatbots, and examples of the specific legal and ethical dangers in the space. If you’ve found it hard to figure out why this round of #chatbots is different, this may help. #ChatGPT #UXdesign #technology

This progress is super-exponential and takes no steps backwards. You can trust that the quality issues and constraints will disappear when swapping a smarter model in.
👉 Costs will go down. Both because of the competitive landscape ("AI companies have no moat", plus open source availability), and because of super-exponential progress in technology we will approach the limits of what is materially possible in a surprisingly short time. What are the limits? Well, the human brain uses about 20 Watts of power and is limited by all sorts of biological constraints which don't apply in silica.
What does this imply to your offering and R&D in the applied #LLM #chatbots?
It means you need to focus on getting the architecture rolling, so that you can start documenting your business to the chatbots, and start getting input from your users about what they will need.
Do not worry too much about quality and costs, sure, you shouldn't disregard either completely and follow the forming best practices of the field, but do not worry that the quality is not quite where you want it to be, or that the costs aren't quite as low as you require for scaling it up. These problems will solve themselves. Focus on the things which won't.
That is, you need to focus on making the system run, making the APIs accessible to chatbots, and getting the textual documentation of your business processes and offering in order. If you have those, then your offering will be AI enabled. That is, no matter what sort of an LLM-inspired chatbot is working with or inside your company's offering, it can access your functions and utilize your organizational knowledge.

#Chatbots are dump. Now scientists showed that all of them can misbehave and theee is no cure. Funfact: this failure of #AI is using a partly german expression. The bots are producing verbiten output. https://www.wired.com/story/ai-adversarial-attacks/

Spend enough time with #ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence chatbots and it doesn’t take long for them to spout falsehoods.
"“This isn’t fixable,” said @emilymbender, a #linguistics professor and director of the University of Washington’s Computational Linguistics Laboratory. “It’s inherent in the mismatch between the #technology and the proposed use cases.”"

#Meta, the owner of #Facebook & #Instagram, is releasing AI-powered #chatbots with different personalities in an attempt to boost interaction with its #SocialMedia platforms. Zuckerberg's tech giant has been designing prototypes for chatbots that can have humanlike discussions with its nearly 4bn users, according to three people with knowledge of the plans.

Researchers Poke Holes in Safety Controls of #ChatGPT and Other #Chatbots. In a report released on Thursday, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and the Center for A.I. Safety in San Francisco showed how anyone could circumvent A.I. safety measures and use any of the leading chatbots to generate nearly unlimited amounts of #harmful #information. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/27/business/ai-chatgpt-safety-research.html
"If you use a chatbot to create or revise text, know the caveats and risks. Ask yourself why you are using a tool that isn’t validated: you’d (hopefully) not do that in another part of your research process."
Our Research Integrity Manager @mattjhodgkinson considers the integrity and ethical hurdles faced when using 'AI' tools like ChatGPT.

I found and forked a repo for a kbin #bot, and created a clone of @lol that runs on #kbin: meet @MegaHAL. I haven't gotten the bot to learn from on-site posts yet, because the code scrapes HTML from kbin in the absence of a working site API, which is hard to parse. The original repo owner is almost done with a basic #API, though, so that may change very soon. Watch this space. #bots #chatBots #botMakers
If you have enough data on your loved ones, you can make #chatbots of them to talk to after they pass away. One of my colleagues just won feature of the year from the Association of British Science Writers, for a story on the tech:
https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/10/18/1061320/digital-clones-of-dead-people/
In shock news, #AI is intrinsically #Racist, and it is only going to get worse as more and more #Data is scraped.
"...Many #Tech companies have operated under the assumption that training #ArtificialIntelligence on more data can help fix the ongoing problem of #AIs replicating #Human #Prejudices. But a study has found that AIs trained on increasingly larger #DataSets can produce even more racist results..."

What's remarkable about the tech industry replacing human support agents with chatbots is the assumption this is what customers want and will play along with.
