A well-crafted prompt is magic. At least a little bit. Not the abracadabra kind that makes software glitches disappear, mind you. But with just a subtle tweak of the words in the textual tapestry you can: drastically increase the rate of correct responses turn a bland robot into an entertaining…

In the face of intelligence explosion, AGI & technological singularity: Will AI alignment or other AI safety strategies succeed, or does AI world domination & human extinction loom? — Welcome back! In the first part of this story, I addressed the following questions: ☑ 1. Are the machines at least close to AGI? ☑ 2. Is machine intelligence really growing so fast that it can reach superintelligence in the foreseeable future?

Is the dangerous superintelligence just a story to scare us? Or are the AI-Oppenheimers right and we are facing a real threat to humanity? — Looking back … three years ago, GPT-2 was one of the most advanced language models on the market. Yet it would still get the easiest conversations wrong. It didn’t just hallucinate, it produced unstructured and nonsensical responses. Now ChatGPT (including the integrated GPT-4 model) can answer questions across an extremely…

My Generative AI Digest, May-22 — And yes, there has been a lot going on in our field again: A curated and rather personal list of the developments that have kept me most busy in the field of generative AI over the last 10 days. Oh! OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman Calls for AI Regulations In a hearing between legislators and tech executives on Tuesday last…

The ultimate curated list of autonomous AI agents: complete with tools, resources and examples ChatGPT and many of the other current foundation models are great. They can answer innumerable questions, create AI art that rivals human masterpieces, analyze photos, and in some cases, they even show what we would call…

Updated Sep-09, 2023. Added new prompt engineering courses, masterclasses and tutorials. Oh, ChatGPT! Not even one year on the market and a not so tiny ecosystem has developed all on its own, with lists of prompts, tips, APIs, use cases, extensions, success stories and failures. ChatGPT is the first true foundation model for the mass-market. Some of the posts, blogs, and…

Many of us use GPT-3 or other LLMs in a SaaS way, hosted by their vendors. But how is it like to run a model of the size of GPT-3 in your own cloud? It’s not trivial to set up, but super exciting to run your own model. Let me tell you how to start out and what outcome you can expect. BLOOM — BigScience Large Open-science Open-access Multilingual Language Model is a transformer-based language model created by 1000+ researchers (more on the BigScience…

This article is based on a presentation I gave at the 5th Annual CURPAS International Conference on Autonomous Systems at the Center for Aeronautics and Astronautics (ZLR) in Wildau, Germany. We populate our world with complex machines. And communicate with these devices: we can already talk to our phones, computers…

In the last few months, some promising language models went live challenging GPT-3. I tested a few of these platforms and threw data at them. Always with questions in mind like: Can other models compete with GPT-3? Or are they even better? — All platforms have specific features, some of which are difficult to compare: such as the ability to generate and understand program code, SQL-like table processing, or to cover specific languages — the Muse language model is very strong in French, for example. To make a fair comparison, I did some…
