The excerpt of Daston’s Rules was illuminating for me, as it articulated a clear approach towards the relationship and nuance between human and machine intelligence. I was particularly touched by the following two lines: “The inference drawn from the capacity of machines to calculate was not that machines were intelligent but rather that at least some intelligence […]

Similar to how I appreciate Prof. Goldsmith’s work, I really appreciate lectures like this by Prof. Andrew Abbott that draws on the historical and social tendency of knowledge, knowing, academic and scholarly affairs that spans over a long time. (It must require years of experience and comprehensive knowledge to be able to give a talk […]

I am fascinated with Yang et al.’s paper on the potential of LMMs and the variety of tasks they show promising potential in. Here are some of the questions I have: Regarding replicability and consistency: I wonder if the examples provided can be replicated with similar/identical prompts with reasonable variance. The example that GPT-4V can […]

In this week’s response I will focus on the TED talk given by OpenAI’s co-founder, Ted Brockmen. A few observations that I had: For the vast majority of people, the most direct and intuitive way to showcase the potential of ChatGPT is still a simple live demo like the one Mr. Brockmen did; while to […]

I express my deepest appreciation and gratitude for Goldsmith and Laks to express their understanding (in a way, their philosophy of the history of cognitive science) on the role of history and the significance of studying it in approaching a discipline. It is such a good paragraph that I will copy it here: “One of […]

Hsu and Myers write of society’s concerns that AI-generated images could lead to fake news and misinformation, but they furthermore point out that even some convincing AI-generated images have inaccurate details that can tip people off. Within the article they include some examples, like how dancing Boris Johnson has the wrong number of fingers, or […]

I resonate with the New York Times’ article regarding the potential dangers of misinformation fueled by new AI developments like DALLE-3. Recently, I’ve observed a surge in the use of DALLE-3 or mid-journey products for news imagery. This trend is apparent on various social media platforms and forums I frequent, making it increasingly challenging to […]

Griffiths’ paper urges for a change in the field of cognitive behavior to not only use computers as an assistive tool in cognitive research, but to implement computers altogether as an aspect of cognitive science to study. The sorts of changes Griffiths describes aptly compare to current trends of using extremely large corpuses and feeding […]
