Understanding AI
- AI works by pattern recognition, using Bayesian statistics to determine the most likely next word.
- Large language models tokenize words and analyze their weightings and connections.
- AI doesn't "know" what it's saying; it predicts the likelihood of token sequences.
- Fact-check AI-generated content, as it can produce incorrect answers.
- Analogy: AI is like completing a jigsaw puzzle using pattern recognition, not intelligence.
AI Academic Summary Evaluation
- Task: Evaluate a 500-word AI-generated summary of a psychology journal article.
- Answer 10 multiple-choice questions about the summary's accuracy by cross-referencing it with the original article.
- The original journal article will be provided in full during the exam.
- Recommendation: Read or watch the article beforehand.
ACTSUM AI (Academic Summary AI)
- Custom Copilot AI chatbot designed to generate brief, structured academic summaries with intentional errors.
- It asks multiple-choice questions about the summary, modeled after exam questions.
- Caution: Automated responses may be janky; challenge the AI if you believe it's wrong.
- Access via the second link in the week four tutorial repository.
- The journal article for the AI academic summary evaluation task is "Mined Over Milkshakes."
- Recommendation: Use Chat GPT or other AI with the original article to generate a 500-word summary with internal errors for personal practice.
