In defense of prompt engineering
I am still undecided on this - was off it due to all the version changes and prompts breaking with fixes (mainly fixing exploits..), but ultimately some kind of language crafting will be inevitably useful.

Heretical thoughts on AI
Will GPT improve GDP? Eli suspects probably not. Mentions that computers didn't (or haven't yet), and examples of larger industries that are not likely to be immediately affected; either slow moving regulatory blockers, or stuff like buildings that people are still better at.

How to use ChatGPT to boost your writing
- Be more specific in prompts, for role of the writer, and style and tone. It is not having a conversation
- Don't ask it for facts or references or math.
- Play with memory and length, write smaller sections at a time to refine style

Transcript: Ezra Klein Interviews Gary Marcus
8 ChatGPT mistakes to avoid
- Not being specific about your goals
- Not asking it to reduce its output (ask to reduce, remove, compile, or rewrite)
- Mixing topics in a single chat
- Asking only 1 thing at a time
- Prompting in the negative (instead of "without X", add "delete X" to the end of prompt)
- Not giving examples
- Asking it to do math
- Not iterating

Stable Diffusion Is the Most Important AI Art Model Ever
Still a lot of unresolved ethical (and legal?) questions around generating art in the style of others, but open source data for these models seems an important place to start.
Before the flood
Why "Prompt Engineering" and "Generative AI" are overhyped
We are still figuring out the UI for AIs - making it invisible, zero-click, part of the main input.
Gives Copilot and lex.page as examples; that the bot shares the input box you are using.
Problems with prompt engineering like random phrases you need, that can break between versions.
Either due to dataset changes (like artist names in Stable Diffusion v2), or just other model changes.
And the general interaction pattern; i.e a chat vs a text generator in a document.
Language models hallucinate, and solving that is AGI-hard.
ChatGPT: Optimizing Language Models for Dialogue
ChatGPT interacts in a conversational way. Meant to let it answer followup questions & challenge incorrect premises.
Interesting how significant the UI is for these tools.
Still a lot of echoes of earlier models - it will often erroneously bring up earlier lines from chat, there's not real understanding of the conversation.

AI Content Generation, Part 1: Machine Learning Basics
Great point that inputs and prompts are actually more like search queries, and great explainer of mapping tagged images to dimensions.
Is searching a boundless space creativity? If all images are represented as numbers, and you are basically picking a number, are you creating or finding? Common twitter sentiment I have seen recently is that it isn't creative work, that feeding/refining prompts is really just more like search. Or that it's like gambling.

Interesting that the generated drawings often have strange faces/hands. Is it because they are more complex shapes? Because we notice issues with them more?

The Intelligence of Bodies
Very interesting discussion. Computers' ability to solve tasks goes from 'impossible' to boring as soon as they solve it! Though I am still regularly impressed by GPS...
I’m midway in the philosophizing here, but my point so far is obvious enough: The ability of a machine to do or outdo something humans do is interesting once at most. Deep Blue isn’t playing chess anymore and Watson isn’t on “Jeopardy!” because nobody cares. It doesn’t matter. We humans need to see the human doing it: Willie Mays making the catch that doesn’t look possible. When it comes to art, we need to see a woman or a man struggling with the universal mediocrity that is the natural lot of all of us and somehow out of some mélange of talent, skill, and luck doing the impossible, making something happen that is splendid and moving—or funny, or frightening, or whatever the artist set out to do.
