Before last class and some exploring on ChatGPT, I had very little knowledge about what AI could do. I knew about a few of its simple tasks it could complete like summarizing articles but I was unaware of how precise it could get. I found that it’s used in all kinds of ways from helping doctors to recommending what shows to watch next on streaming services. AI can make really specific and helpful content making it useful in so many areas. I learned that AI is capable of analyzing large sets of data, recognizing patterns, and making predictions based on what it learns. I also learned that when it’s not given adequate background information it gives inaccurate and vague responses that are not useful. Im excited to learn about what else it can and cannot do.

AI at this point is like a calculator. It is only capable of what the user is using it for. AI has near limitless capabilities which are only capped at the imagination of the user.
Hi Braydon,
I found it very interesting as well to see how much better the output of LLMs gets when you provide it with the actual article compared to the title and authors only! I think it is really important to know that LLMs will just give you a hallucinated summary of a paper that is based on training data which could sound plausible but on closer examination has nothing to do with the actual article or goes way beyond its scope.
