This morning, I opened a PDF to find Adobe Acrobat giving me an AI-generated summary of it. That led to a rabbit hole of finding all the places Acrobat’s AI Assistant has to be turned off. Here they are: www.wordsbywes.ink/a... #LLMs #AmEditing

Turning Off Adobe Acrobat's AI Assistant - Words by Wes

This morning, I opened a PDF to find Acrobat giving me an AI-generated summary of it. Since I frequently deal with unpublished manuscripts and other confidential documents for clients, I can’t have them processed by generative AI tools (and I don’t want my PDFs being read by LLMs either). So…

Anthropic & other AI companies are spending billions of dollars to slice the spines off millions of books, including very rare ones. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email. #AI #LLMs #Books #Culture #Tech

OpenAI’s so-called “reasoning” models generate more falsehoods than their predecessors. Since #LLMs are model language usage and not factual information, it’s built-into their design that they will output false or misleading information. #PhilAI techcrunch.com/2025/04/18/o...

OpenAl found that o3 hallucinated in response to 33% of questions on PersonQA, the company's in-house benchmark for measuring the accuracy of a model's knowledge about people. That's roughly double the hallucination rate of OpenAl's previous reasoning models, o1 and o3-mini, which scored 16% and 14.8%, respectively. o4-mini did even worse on PersonQA - hallucinating 48% of the time.

#LLMs feel *exactly* like crypto did in 2017, with nearly daily articles about how it can't possibly work, and a die hard community earnestly pleading "but you just don't UNDERSTAND!" The main difference is that there *are* reasonable use cases. They're just far smaller than people want to admit.

"To invoke #language when talking about #LLMs is to misunderstand the nature of language and miss its fundamentally lived and embodied character ... Where #AI promises magic, the most pressing need is for basic research driven by communities" A must-read: www.thedial.world/article…. #langsky

Ok, here is an incomplete list of things we don't entirely know about #llms: + what their training data is + which tokens the attention mechanism pays attention to + how exactly quantization and compression impact them + why slight changes in prompts impact the results so much .... ???

What Abeba says! A report by academics from Memorial University, Newfoundland, on, amongst other things, the ethical use of #AI in education, contained fake references and seems likely to have been created using #LLMs ... www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
