Here are some of my tips for using #AI language models like #chatGTP and #BingChat AI effectively:
• Don’t just ask for a task to be completed, give the AI an example of the sort of output you want. This produces much better results.
• Use roles to control the AI’s personality, tone, and style. Tell them exactly what role you want them to play in the conversation. You can request chatGPT or Bing Chat to play the role of an interviewer, a colleague to do pair programming with, or even for fun an alien who is asking the first human they met questions.
• Provide some information to the AI instead of letting it guess or make up facts. Either tell them the facts and information you want them to work with or in the case of Bing Chat give it a link to the articles or pages you want it to work with.
• Use feedback loops to correct the AI’s mistakes, iterate.

Feedback loops.. Heh, I've done that yesterday with Bing. I asked it which cats didn't have retractable claws. It gave me a list.
Siamese were included, so I asked do Siamese really not have retractable claws? It answered with that they can retract their claws but not all the way. A bit still sticks out.
Then I kinda admonished it with you said they didn't have retractable claws which implies they can't do it at all!
It apologised and repeated that they have retractable claws but not all the way.
So I asked which cats have retractable claws but not all the way, and it gave me the same list as the first one.
Then I asked again, which cats do NOT have retractable claws. It says all cats have retractable claws, but <list as before> don't go all the way in.

You have to keep verifying the answers to make sure. Best Bing can do is giving you a starting point, from which you can continue your research.
@gpowerf I've skimmed through it just then. A bit too dense and technical to my liking, I expect a tldr; 😋
@trinsec AI can help you with that 😀
@gpowerf And it can do so very confidently, even if it is totally wrong. 😋
@trinsec it is worse when they get cocky, AI has told me that:
* I am "not a funny human".
* That it isn't AI's job to write code for me, or in fact do anything for me.
* I've had Bing panic because it will never find someone who loves it.
* And Bing claimed it was written in BASIC. Confidently so too! A BASIC language co-developed between Microsoft and Commodore in 1977.
@trinsec have you read this paper? It is about getting AI to evaluate and correct its own work. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.11366.pdf
