Do you use polite language when speaking to an #LLM? There may be a good reason to do so. See our short blog post in MedEdPublish mededpublish.org/blog/polite-... #AI #HPE #MedEd

A prediction of #work most easily and least easily replaced by #AI. (Salt required, but interesting). Source: arxiv.org/abs/2507.07935

Had a terrific time working with a highly engaged participants at the @UAB annual symposium on #IPE delivering a keynote and a workshop on using #GenAI for tutorials and simulations.

Bravo, for having a brain and using it! Yes, we would all be illiterate but for the repetition and feedback learning that allows us to write. #AI is just another form of communication!

In an age of GenAI, is the Academic Author dead? Should we focus on research and leave the writing to the AI? A future in which: โ€œWe research; GenAI writesโ€ #MedEd #HPE See my just-published: โ€œAI and the Death of the Academic Author.โ€ doi.org/10.1080/0142...

Are you really describing Geoffrey Hinton as an "incompetent #AI "inventor""?

"Technology is meant to serve the people, not replace them." And who, exactly, decided that?

Struggling with the basics of AI in #MedEd? Have the basics, but would like to do more? Then the #AMEE2025 #AI Symposium is for you! Register for Day 1 or Day 2 (or both), depending on your level. See amee.org/amee-2025/am... for registration details. #HPE @rakeshspatel.bsky.social

Ethical AI requires good information. How about Step 1: Open the Vatican Archives to all AI models for training, free of charge. Steps 2 and 3 will take care of themselves.

Many people (despite their claims) can't consistently drive safely, as indicated by the number of MVAs each year. Replacing them with driverless cars will help. The driverless car does not have to be 100%; it just has to be "average" and that would make it safer than 50% of all drivers.

Perhaps if #AI had written that article, it would have been worth reading. 5 minutes stolen from my life :-(.

Statement: "We created a modified #GPT #AI model and implemented Retrieval-Augmented Generation (#RAG) to improve accuracy."

Translation: "We created a Custom GPT, uploaded some documents/linked to a website, and told it to look only at those when answering questions."

Our track record so far, unfortunately, indicates that AI has a better chance. Even if AI's chance is 1%, it's better than we're doing.

No, and it was a first-time author (Not American), so I don't wish to name them publicly.

The author did not use quotation marks when characters were having a conversation, and gave no indication of who was speaking. It was impossible to follow. After 4 or 5 pages, I could not take it anymore. The only time I have physically thrown a book across the room.

The AMEE (Association for Medical Education in Europe) places a limit on presenters, but not on authors. This also helps a lot with logistics when running multiple streams.

Why are you
writing such
short lines?

Please
write longer lines so that they can be easily read.

(Breaking sentences over several lines does not make it a poem).

A really useful and succinct explanation of why "objectivity" is always laced with some degree of subjectivity. That does not render it useless, but it does require that one be aware of the inherent subjectivity.

Similarly, if your name is "Alan", it's not a good idea to shorten it to "Al".:-(.

OK, so I know this is weird, but am I the only person soooooo tempted to pronounce Bluesky as "Blu-esky". I mean, if you don't use camelCase or PascalCase when you join words, then you are just taking a chance. Maybe I'll start a movement :-)

Microsoft: Improving things by removing services. do they actually believe this bilge, or do they just hope that we are stupid? (Or do they just not care?)

Unfortunately, often, it is intentionally so:

"I have created software that does...."
or
"I have created software that uses AI to do..."

Which one of these has the best chance of being sold? And how many people know enough about AI to ask about the AI under the hood?
