And some contestants actually used spell-checkers!!! (or have we moved out of the 1980s yet?)

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

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: “We research; GenAI writes” #MedEd #HPE See my just-published: “AI and the Death of the Academic Author.” 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?

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 :-(.

If anyone asks you, "Do we _REALLY_ need another paper about the #ethical use of #AI?", please direct them to this story: www.msn.com/en-in/techno... #meded #HPE

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".:-(.
