You can reverse image search using ChatGPT — here's how ChatGPT lets you reverse image search in just a few clicks

“There are many reasons for wanting to perform a reverse-image search. You may want to discover the original source of an image or find out if someone else is using it. You may want to check for higher-resolution versions or put a name to a face.” #AI #artificialintelligence #responsibleuse #CRAIGEN

@emollick.bsky.social points out a conundrum of #AI literacy. @craigenorg.bsky.social Education principle: “The use of AI creates new opportunities and risks. Therefore, members of the genealogical community educate themselves about AI to maximize its benefits and minimize its risks to their work.”

@craigenorg.bsky.social “Education - The use of AI creates new opportunities and risks. Therefore, members of the genealogical community educate themselves about AI to maximize its benefits and minimize its risks to their work”.

ChatGPT's Impact On Our Brains According to an MIT Study The study, from MIT Lab scholars, measured the brain activity of subjects writing SAT essays with and without ChatGPT.

Check accuracy as there could be hidden code in your LLM summary:
“…social media users ran it through LLMs in order to summarize it and then post the findings online. Kosmyna had been expecting that people would do this, so she inserted a couple AI traps into the paper…” #AI

“The growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into our genealogical lives brings remarkable capabilities but also significant privacy risks through systematic data collection, indefinite storage, and potential third-party sharing.” #craigen #AI #genealogy

When lawyers first started getting yelled at by judges for citing hallucinated case law 2 years ago I naively assumed word would get around and they would all learn not to

Another example of the need for CRAIGEN’s #accuracy principle: “AI can generate false, biased, or incorrect content. Therefore, members of the genealogical community verify the accuracy of the information with other records and acknowledge credible sources of content generated by AI.” #CRAIGEN #AI

A Strange Phrase Keeps Turning Up in Scientific Papers, But Why? Earlier this year, scientists discovered a peculiar term appearing in published papers: "vegetative electron microscopy".

AI “digital fossils” like “vegetative electron microscopy” are signposts of AI use with inadequate verification. This illustrates the need for CRAIGEN’s principle for accuracy. #craigenorg #genealogy #AI #digitalfossils
