the linked Buttondown article deserves highlighting because, as always, Emily M Bender knows what’s up:
(and I really should start listening to Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 soon)
also, this stood out, from the OpenAI/Common Sense Media (ugh) presentation:
this is such a fucked framing of the dangers of informational bias, algorithmic racism, and the laundering of fabricated data through the false authority of an LLM. framing it as an issue where the responsible party is the non-expert user is a lot like saying “of course you can diagnose your own ocular damage, just use your eyes”. it’s very easy to perceive the AI as unbiased in situations where the bias agrees with your own, and that is incredibly dangerous to marginalized students. and as always, it’s gross how targeted this is: educators are used to being the responsible ones in the room, and this might feel like yet another responsibility to take on — but that’s not a reasonable way to handle LLMs as a source of unending bullshit.
