One reason I wish more humanities-oriented people would engage with AI is that models are writers, trained on words, producing words.

There are strengths & weaknesses in the models that can only be seen if you engage deeply with them as writers. They do not show up in coding benchmarks or tests.

Sounds fascinating! Added to my pile of papers to read.

Sounds very interesting and relevant to my current work! Looking forward to reading this one.

PS: or maybe it's as simple as the models being triggered by the "light" in "delight"

Striking how all 3 land on "lumi", and 2 on "flora", especially with a question where the answer could go in so many directions. I cannot imagine asking this of 3 people and them all thinking of the same word. Makes you wonder if increased use of LLMs will lead to more monoculture.

Getting started with AI: Good enough prompting Don't make this hard

I really like today's "One Useful Thing" by @emollick.bsky.social. It's all about how to get started interacting with AI chatbots. This is not as intuitive as it seems, and how good you are at it makes such a big difference. Highly recommend!

If you're interested in #AI and/or #DH, consider coming to (or streaming) this workshop next week. I'll be speaking on Thursday at 15h30 on the multilingualism of large language models, sharing some insights from my most recent experiments.
