Is ChatGPT the Start of the AI Revolution? - The Washington Post

#artificialintelligence

One problem, which its creators concede, is that ChatGPT sometimes offers answers that are precise, authoritative and utterly wrong. A request for an obituary of Mussolini that prominently mentions skateboarding yields a disquisition on the dictator's interest in the sport that happens to be entirely fictitious. Another soliciting advice for the Federal Reserve returns an essay that cites ostensibly legitimate sources, but that doctors the data to suit the bot's purposes. Stack Overflow, a forum for coders, has temporarily banned responses from ChatGPT because its answers "have a high rate of being incorrect." Students looking for a homework assistant should proceed with care.


AI's Jurassic Park moment - by Gary Marcus

#artificialintelligence

Something incredible is happening in AI right now, and it's not entirely to the good. Everybody is talking about systems like chatGPT (OpenAI), Dall-E 2, and Lensa that generate text and images that look remarkably human-like, with astonishingly little effort. These systems can be incredibly fun to play with. Take this example, generated by chatGPT by Henry Minsky (son of Marvin Minsky, one of AI's founders), who asked chatGPT to "Describe losing your sock in the dryer in the style of the declaration of independence": When in the course of household events, it becomes necessary for one to dissolve the bonds that have connected a sock to its mate, and to assume among the powers of the laundry room, the separate and equal station to which the laws of physics and of household maintenance entitle it, a decent respect to the opinions of socks requires that it should declare the causes which impel it to go missing. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all socks are created equal, and are endowed by their manufacturer with certain unalienable rightsโ€ฆ.


The New Chat Bots Could Change the World. Can You Trust Them? - The New York Times

As people tested the system, it asked them to rate its responses. Then, through a technique called reinforcement learning, it used the ratings to hone the system and more carefully define what it would and would not do. "This allows us to get to the point where the model can interact with you and admit when it's wrong," said Mira Murati, OpenAI's chief technology officer. "It can reject something that is inappropriate, and it can challenge a question or a premise that is incorrect." The method was not perfect.


[P] Machine Learning Framework in Java : MachineLearning

#artificialintelligence

We created a small Framework with which you can implement a model of a problem and let the Framework solve it. The Code is pure Java and there is no further need to understand complex mechanisms of Machine Learning. In the repository is a quick example on how this framework plays the game "Snake". For training, it uses a Genetic Algorithm to train Neural Networks. If you can implement Snake in Java you can also use this Framework to let it play your game.



How to Turn Black-and-White Photos Into Color Using Palette.fm

#artificialintelligence

Palette.fm is a free artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can turn black-and-white photos into color. Thanks to machine learning, it can identify what is in an image and take a good guess at applying the right color. If you've never colorized black-and-white photos before, the results will blow you away! Unlike other AI colorizer tools, the image can be fine-tuned using a text prompt or by selecting a different color palette. If you have some old black-and-white family photos, this is how you can bring them to life in a matter of minutes.


How to Talk to ChatGPT, the New AI Chatbot That Makes Up Lots of Stuff

#artificialintelligence

Anyone who's seen the show knows that this is not what happened. Instead, it's a somewhat humorous misconfiguration of the details--sorta like listening to a friend misremember a series that they haven't seen in awhile. In a different conversation, I asked ChatGPT how the TV show Gilligan's Island ended. In reality, Gilligan's Island was cancelled by its network, so there was no ending.

Natural Logic-guided Autoregressive Multi-hop Document Retrieval for Fact Verification

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

A key component of fact verification is thevevidence retrieval, often from multiple documents. Recent approaches use dense representations and condition the retrieval of each document on the previously retrieved ones. The latter step is performed over all the documents in the collection, requiring storing their dense representations in an index, thus incurring a high memory footprint. An alternative paradigm is retrieve-and-rerank, where documents are retrieved using methods such as BM25, their sentences are reranked, and further documents are retrieved conditioned on these sentences, reducing the memory requirements. However, such approaches can be brittle as they rely on heuristics and assume hyperlinks between documents. We propose a novel retrieve-and-rerank method for multi-hop retrieval, that consists of a retriever that jointly scores documents in the knowledge source and sentences from previously retrieved documents using an autoregressive formulation and is guided by a proof system based on natural logic that dynamically terminates the retrieval process if the evidence is deemed sufficient. This method is competitive with current state-of-the-art methods on FEVER, HoVer and FEVEROUS-S, while using $5$ to $10$ times less memory than competing systems. Evaluation on an adversarial dataset indicates improved stability of our approach compared to commonly deployed threshold-based methods. Finally, the proof system helps humans predict model decisions correctly more often than using the evidence alone.


Opinion

#artificialintelligence

So is David Grossman's formulation correct? Is Hootie the soundtrack of the uncomplicated phase of Francis Fukuyama's end of history, the peak of liberal confidence and American power and post-ideological relaxation? Shouldn't a pure "it's the end of ideological conflict, and I feel fine" work of art be a little bit less angsty, a little sunnier than Darius Rucker singing, "Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain/Let her sing, if it eases all her pain"? Or Adam Duritz crooning mournfully, "It's raining in Baltimore, baby/But everything else is the same"? Still, when I look back on this music, there's something about Grossman's analysis that rings true.
