We're thrilled to share our second episode, an interview with Dr. Dustin Edwards (@edwardsdusty).
Come hear us chat about genAI ambivalence, the environmental consequences of genAI, and his forthcoming book on digital damage.

This is an excellent book for those who want to learn about AI.
And Chapter 10 is the best one: "ChatGPT Changes Everything."
“AI & Data Literacy” is the first book I've read approaching modern concepts of Artificial Intelligence from a non-technical perspective.
It covers ChatGPT, Large Language Models, Generative AI, Transformers, and Reinforcement Learning for Human Feedback. There's enough information for anyone wanting to use AI and data to create value.
Here is a link to the book: https://t.co/rcmBxOOo9C
This was a great read! My collection of books keeps growing.
I have an insane number of books at home. I haven't read them all, but I've read some so many times that they're barely in one piece.
Here are seven books. One of these books is one of my favorites of all time.
Can you guess which one it is?

🚨[AI PAPER]: "Generative AI Can Harm Learning" by @hamsabastani, @obastanim, @Alpsungu, @HaosenGe, Özge Kabakcı & Rei Mariman is a must-read for everyone interested in AI. Quotes:
"(...) a key question that remains is how generative AI affects how humans learn novel skills, both in educational settings and through the course of performing their jobs. This process of skill acquisition is referred to as human capital development and is critical for safeguarding productivity in the long term. When technology automates a task, humans can miss out on valuable experience performing that task. As a consequence, such a technology may induce a tradeoff where they improve performance on average but introduce new failure cases due to reduced human skill. For example, overreliance on autopilot led the Federal Aviation Administration to recommend that pilots minimize their use of this technology. Their pre-cautionary guidance ensures that pilots have the necessary skills to maintain safety in situations where autopilot fails to function correctly." (pages 2-3)

"Our main results are two-fold. First, students in the GPT Tutor (resp., GPT Base) arm perform 127% (resp., 48%) better on the practice problems compared to students in the control arm. This finding is consistent with prior work on the benefits of ChatGPT in improving human abilities on a variety of tasks. Second, on the exam, students in the GPT Base arm perform statistically significantly worse than students in the control arm by 17%; this negative effect is essentially eradicated in the GPT Tutor arm, though we still do not observe a positive effect. These results suggest that while access to generative AI can improve performance, it can substantially inhibit learning. Our results have significant implications for tools based on generative AI—while such tools have the potential to improve human performance, they must be deployed with appropriate guardrails when learning is important." (page 4)

"In some ways, ChatGPT is not the first technology to exhibit this tradeoff—for instance, typing diminishes the need for handwriting, and calculators diminish the need for arithmetic, etc. However, we believe ChatGPT differs from prior technologies in two significant ways. First, the capabilities of ChatGPT are substantially broader and more intellectual compared to prior examples; for instance, our experiments focus on a broad variety of mathematical topics, which encompass fundamental skills required by a wide range of knowledge-intensive professions. Second, unlike many prior technologies, ChatGPT is highly unreliable and often provides incorrect responses. Our results suggest that students are either unable to detect these failures or unwilling to spend the effort needed to check correctness. While GPT Tutor appears to largely mitigate these negative effects, substantial work is required to enable generative AI to positively enhance rather than diminish education." (page 16)

➡️ I recently discussed the topic in my newsletter in the context of Google's statement that its AI assistant will do the online "legwork" for us. When AI does the intellectual and creative "legwork," what remains for us? What will happen to our brains? Is it productive from a human perspective? (link to my newsletter article below).
➡️ This is an extremely important topic, especially given the accelerated pace of AI development and adoption, when companies from every industry are pressured to add some sort of AI-based functionality to longstanding products and services.
