Privacy should be a basic human right; generative AI is completely incompetent to deliver on that right. It doesn’t understand facts, truth, or privacy. It is a reckless bull in a china shop, and we should demand better.

Insightful and bit sobering … at RWTH Aachen Aachen University, we recently conducted a survey on the use of LLMs for software engineering tasks, notably coding, and came to similar conclusions.

Indeed. This wasn't too hard to see coming … surprising that Google didn't.

Some of you know that when I'm not busy with my day job(s) in #AI, I passionately pursue my interest in music. In case you've never had a chance (or simply like) to listen to the heckelphone, check this out: youtu.be/c6dd6VaR7yU I had a blast performing that night …

Indeed, and I believe he's 100% correct. The article is a good read and especially recommended to anyone about to invest in or deploy GenAI solutions.

Interesting and, if true, quite disturbing: “Microsoft recently introduced a feature into the pre-release version of Windows that surreptitiously captured your screen every few seconds.” - apparently to collect training data for GenAI … apple.news/A_KZMN0bKSiqFY…

𝗪𝗼𝘄! Incredibly damning new study on GenAI from Upwork, via @baldurbjarnason: “Nearly half (47%) of workers using AI say they have no idea how to achieve the productivity gains their employers expect. Over three in four (77%) say AI tools have decreased their productivity

Ouch!

Tja, die TU Darmstadt ist halt schon ein richtig guter Laden … genau wie die RWTH Aachen, die sicherlich ebenfalls einiges damit zu tun hat, dass Aachen auf Platz 4 gelandet ist - nur knapp hinter München, Berlin und Heidelberg. 💫

Worth reading (and implementing) …

Precisely. Time to act accordingly in Europe …

Nope. Contra Eric Schmidt, world-class AI mathematicians will NOT emerge in the next year, and top-tier AI programmers will not NOT emerge in two years. Any more than we had a million robotaxis five years ago. (cc: Metaculus)
