Open post Prompt engineering

Prompt engineering: is being an AI ‘whisperer’ the job of the future?

As generative AI settles into the mainstream, growing numbers of courses and certifications are promising entry into the “hot job” of prompt engineering. Having skills in using natural language (such as English) to “prompt” useful content out of AI models such as ChatGPT and Midjourney seems like something many employers would value. But is it...

Open post Large Language Models

What are Large Language Models?

In the realm of artificial intelligence, Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly becoming the linchpin, the foundational architecture that’s driving a new wave of innovation. If you’re a developer or a data scientist, you’ve likely encountered the acronyms and the buzz—GPT from OpenAI, Google’s PaLM2 (the underpinning of their Bard chatbot), and Falcon. These aren’t...

Open post Ghost

Ghosts in the AI machinery

Ever wonder how (generative) AI gets so smart? It’s not just algorithms and code. It’s the work of human annotators, the ghosts in the machine, people who sift through mountains of raw data, categorizing and labeling it, all to train the machines we’ve grown to depend on. This ‘ghost’ isn’t an ethereal presence but a...

Open post Hallucinations

Why does GPT hallucinate?

The increasing interest in language models for practical applications has led to a proliferation of various models, with many organizations using GPT-4 through APIs provided by OpenAI and other companies. Despite their impressive fluency, these language models sometimes produce false statements ranging from minor inaccuracies to complete fabrications (als known as hallucinations), raising three primary...
