Great job but it's a machine learning algo. It will only put out what it has been trained on. Garbage in garbage out. Your prompt will not infuse it with intelligence and conceptual grasp. Prompt engineering is a grift.
@@thomascromwell6840 Assuming the same system, no it's not grift.. A well structured prompt will give you better results. If you prompt 'explain X topic' you ll get an explanation of X but if you write "explain like i m 5" or "explain like i am a graduate student on that subject" it will have very different results.. and this is a very simplified example. You can use prompting to make instructions more clear, or to pass some data etc.
All looks great: problems: 1) if you do not know about a subject, you remain incompetent, and have no incentive to learn as this is filling in for your incompetence. When you present that memo to leadership and need to talk about it, you will still be incompetent and will need to do 3x the work to not only learn what is on that memo, and the sources, but also why those facts were laid in that way. 2) If I need to fact-check everything, and I have limited knowledge on the subject, I will spend more time doing that instead than just learning the whole thing. Depending on the context, if you are going to summarize something in front of people that are experts in that field or topic, you need to know at least as much as them if you don't want to look like a complete idiot or poser; which is usually what people look like as soon as someone deliver an AI-written document and they have no idea about what is on that document, because all that they did is fact checking. 3) With this technology we will allow mediocre people to advance even further, filling the gap that so far, people with intelligence and higher intellect were able to keep broad thanks to their skills. As before the only way to fill the gap was to put efforts and really invest yourself into learning, now you remove completely that barrier; which means that any lazy person can have access to any sort of decent output presented in any context, without put any effort, which will increase competition and make harder to distinguish at first glance between real professionals and wannabe that just read the first chapter of a book, and call themselves "experts". Ever heard of "chauffeur knowledge" ? Usually is attributed to Planck (and in some cases to Einstein), and that is where we are going basically. I believe this technology is useful if put in the right context; but for such usages, can do more harm than anything else; and you can see the results already in the various school and universities, where sub-par individuals are progressing even further, mining the space of really talented individuals that would deserve more space and attentions thanks to their higher capabilities. It is like giving steroids to all athletes and send them to the Olympics, just for the sake of everyone to be on a equal field.

Perfect timing to see this video since our company just got the access to Microsoft's copilot!
Very well explained. 👏
Thank you for sharing
What impresses me is how much he’s “accomplished” in less than 10 minutes. How does that affect the future of intellectual work?
Thanks
It's just something that I want to attend, but it's impossible
