The value of GIGO is that it gives you a personal strategy when you think about and approach the issue of AI. It allows you to go beyond fear and confusion. The GIGO strategy (Garbage In Garbage Out) puts you back in the driver’s seat.
To continue the metaphor, AI is like a very powerful car, say a Lamborghini. But you are the driver. If you have good driving skills then you can be very effective but if the driver has poor skills or is distracted by a smartphone etc, then the result can be disastrous.
Lesson 21 DFQ: Rewrite below the most interesting sentence that you will think more about, from reading this lesson.
Next Lesson: Thinking Skills and AI
“it is essential to provide high-quality, diverse, and unbiased prompts to ChatGPT to ensure that the model’s output is of high quality, accurate, and unbiased” the Lamborghini example says it all for me………Chat GPT is google on steroids and people who had to reserach in libararies before Google have better search skills as a result……..bad search wasted huge amounts of timne in the bad old days…..you really needed to know what you were looking for!
“This underscores the importance of using well-designed prompts, carefully reviewing and filtering prompts to eliminate bias, and continually monitoring and adjusting the prompts used to train the model to ensure that it produces high-quality output.”
‘AI may still be useful for thinkers with weaker thinking skills as it may provide them with access to knowledge that they may not have had otherwise’ – I will genuinely reflect on this and question my prejudice. At this point I do not believe this to be accurate at all and dont think that AI provides access to knowledge, only to information, which was there to begin with if people cared to look for it. The fact that it provides information infinitely quicker is true, but it is still information, rather than knowledge. A lack of information or data is not our problem, seeing it with new eyes and questioning it is. Thinking is our problem and now we are outsourcing that to machines. I am not hopeful but will reflect on whether access to information might be a good thing for those who may not have it otherwise.
