ChatGPT and AI mastery: How to get started in AI.
I think one of the reasons that chat gbt and stuff have been so hyped recently is because most people don’t know what it is and so when you see it doing what it does you think this thing must basically be a person right because it’s acting like one and and I should carry this by saying I’m not selling short these these incredible Technologies I’m just saying that it would be very silly to just completely use them blind and never check what they do right because we know they just make stuff up a lot of the time I’m glad you
computer science do you think it’s time to for more of us to learn computer science type stuff because of AI like maths and all these computer science stuff not really [Music] I’ve been saying that you need to learn artificial intelligence or AI question that a lot of you have been asking me is okay so how do I learn that so let’s ask another friend yes you’ve mentioned this before but remind me which place do you recommend that I learn and others learn AI I really like brilliant it’s one of those

Places where you can go and have a visual gamified way to learn Concepts and Mathematics behind Ai and machine learning you’ve recommended this a few times to me the way you said it was David if you want to learn AI I need to learn like statistics and stuff like that right yes I’ve got these road maps that actually helps you with Calculus and learning statistics and linear algebra all the stuff that you need to know for AI I’ll say this David is on my team I’m really glad that he is David has strengths that I don’t have and I
Think that’s what’s really important in life you need to learn from others the other will tell us you’ve done a lot of maths you’ve done a lot of computer science you’ve actually worked with AI stuff right I work in the medical field for with data science stuff so I really think like you need to know know all the statistics and calculus and linear algebra and the discrete mathematics that you need to learn which actually makes a lot of coding a lot easier for you that’s brilliant so I’m looking on
(02:02) their website now the one that you’ve recommended that I go through is the data science foundations right that’s like probability applied probability statistics fundamentals and then an introduction to neural networks and obviously me being me I just skipped all of that I went straight to learning neural networks but as David said what I really like about this website is it’s gamified as he said so really great way to get started really want to thank brilliant for sponsoring this video brilliant as they say in the UK thanks
A.I. Hype Should we be worried?
AI it seems to just getting be getting you know hotter and hotter so tell me is the sky falling am I going to lose my job is the future Bleak I think I think you’re gonna be all right so relax oh it looks um are you just bring me into calm everything down a bit that’s that’s you.
Know I think that the last six months particularly have been you know both unbelievable in terms of genuine hype like things that are really exciting appearing and also obviously totally overboard hype that’s just getting really quite silly and everyone needs to calm down right so I think there’s a bit of everything going on chat chat GPT is a is an incredibly impressive tool that works very very well I’ve I’ve done some really fun tests with it where I’ve pushed to see what it will do and some
Amazing but flawed
Of the things it will do are quite amazing right on the other hand there are lots of things it doesn’t do very well and one of the big problems we have at the moment is it won’t always tell you it’s one of those things and that’s I think where we have something that needs addressing I’ve done some tests and I mean a lot of people I know have done tests and it’s a it’s amazing what it seems to be able to produce um I think the concern a lot of people have is like Mike I’m 18 years old or
I’m let’s say I’m older I want to switch careers to become a programmer or I want to get into cyber security or want to be a network engineer whatever some technical role and it feels like I’m just going to waste my time because chat GPT is just going to obliterate drop at jobs the first thing I would observe is that it’s very nice for some of these big tech companies if that’s the perception because it makes them look very very impressive right and so I think that the cynic in me a little bit
It’s like this is there’s no no pay R is bad PR kind of a situation they like to drop you know these tools get dropped as incredibly impressive Tech demos and and I’m not selling them short right very impressive but maybe not quite as impressive as they first appear on a service when you start to dig in and I think that’s what’s really important you know in science we spend a lot of time checking things and rechecking them at least that’s what we’re supposed to do right so I you know a PhD student comes
To my office with some results and they say oh we’ve got 95 accuracy on some task and I think okay let’s talk about which data you used and whether that’s really true and whether when you use it on this new data you’re going to get that same result and we spend ages going over and over the data again to make sure that when we actually publish it it’s really as accurate as possible large language models are maybe not operating in quite that same way yes they release papers from time to time

But mostly they release these big websites where you can try them out and they do incredibly impressive stuff and and they lie very impressively as well right I think that’s the thing that we haven’t quite uh got around so you know suppose you’re a programmer and you’ve been using co-pilot and you’ve been using chat GPT also does code and you and you’re a bit worried because it’s just producing pretty decent code maybe you don’t see it replacing you right now but you could see in 10 years maybe
That’s going to be a problem I think the problem is at the moment is it’s very difficult to know where it’s going I think a lot of researchers are suspicious of the idea that we can just make it continually bigger and bigger and more impressive and it will just get better and better you know when we talk to about how these models work they don’t really have an internal model of what it is they’re trying to do or anything really they just map text to other texts you know when I write a piece of computer code what I’m really
Hoping to do is is in my mind come up with an idea of the problem that needs to be solved so what the number the variables and things I’m going to need start to get them down on paper and then start thinking about how would I manipulate those variables using code to produce some result that I want chat GPT doesn’t really work that way it just spits out code right and it happens a lot of the time to look pretty good at the moment it’s a tool to be used quite carefully particularly with code I wouldn’t push anything chat GPT has
Written straight into production without you know quite a few quite a few tests because at the moment there’s no grounding in reality right the reality is for training data but once it’s finished training you it’s kind of random what it gets and these things actually I don’t know if you’ve noticed this David but when you run it it can produce different answers each time yeah and that’s because it uses something called temperature to somewhat randomize its output so instead of saying okay the
Next word in my in my output is going to be the it will say I think there’s an 80 chance that it’s there but it’s a 20 chance that it’s so and then what you what the machine will do is say well okay 20 of the time then we’ll pick a different word and that way you can go in slightly different directions because if you didn’t do that it would just produce the same output every time it’s not it’s not a random object so it’s not a random Network in that sense and so you can imagine a situation where there

Is a really good version of this program that it could write but it randomly didn’t and produced one with loads of bugs so you know assume that’s what I’ve experienced yeah sure yeah and and you know I suppose there’s a question in my mind about how is very inefficiency saving if you have to order everything you’re reading right is reading code as fast as writing code or slower or faster I’m I I don’t know right I’m undecided I think sometimes for boilerplate codes probably pretty effective um if it’s
Sort of code you know write me a a for Loop to do X Y and Z probably works pretty well as long as you’re capable of quickly checking that but then it didn’t take me very long to write four looping anyway I’m undecided I suppose as to how much of a game changer that will be this said I know there are developers that use it right and I know that the developers who claim or at least they think it’s they’re much more efficient I don’t spend as much time coding as I’d like because I’m I see you know isn’t as
Is it worth it getting into CompSci?
A professor in the University I spend a lot of time teaching a lot of time mentoring others right and teaching people so they do the coding and I sit there and look at it right so I haven’t had as much experience as some yeah I mean I think the the concern is always you know younger young people are people trying to switch careers is you know I want to have a job for more than a year or five years um is it worth putting all the effort in to learn this stuff if AI is just going to take it away my gut tells me that AI
Isn’t going to take it away anytime soon right because I think that I would argue that you need something more fundamental to understanding some of these problems if you’re going to write code to solve them than just a text production mechanism that isn’t to say that what it doesn’t do it’s very impressive what it does but I think that as you start to build up you know it’s very it’s all very well saying write me a for Loop to do this but if you want to write your class structure and a and a really.
Complicated system that’s such a more difficult you know it’s like the difference between Lane assist and self-driving right and that’s why we can we’ve seen Lane assist exist but self-driving seems to be so hard to get to because of how much harder that is as a problem and I think that it’s very easy to fit a straight line upwards to these things right you say well they didn’t do anything and now they’re doing this which means they’re going to be doing this it may get a lot harder and
RELATED: VIDEO – ChatGPT Tutorial – A Crash Course on Chat GPT for Beginners
Plateau out right we you know it’s difficult to say for sure I think that there’s going to be a very strong need for people in the loop for a lot for a long time further right I mean as an example outside of programming in medical science AI is obviously used quite a lot to help with diagnoses and things but almost no AI systems are used just on their own with no human oversight because for a start because we don’t trust them yet and also because patients don’t trust them patients don’t want an AI even if it’s good making
Their health decisions right like not yet you know and so I think also culturally we’re not quite we’re not quite ready and I know a few companies that are not using copilot because they’re not absolutely sure the copyright on on the code and think you know there’s questions that haven’t been answered I think if you’re looking for it to be a software developer or you’re looking for a career in security or career in AI there’s still plenty of things to do so I wouldn’t personally
Knowing A.I. makes you valuable
Worry about that I think we we mentioned this last time and I I want I want to give people firstly you know a way to make themselves more valuable and then a path to get there um you mentioned that you know any if you attach AI to any skill that you’ve got it’s going to make you more valuable um I I assume that’s still the case and I want to ask you Mike how do I get there and it also makes you more experienced at dealing with things like this when something comes along you can you can sit back and you can say okay
How impressive is this let’s think about what it’s doing and how it works and you know some understanding of how these things work you don’t have to understand deep down transformer networks if you want to understand roughly what they’re doing right and how they I’ve been trained yeah I would say some knowledge of statistical analysis and data data processing in general is really really important right people mock Excel Excel is I think one of the best products ever written it’s totally ubiquitous it’s
Every powerful and it underpins huge amounts of you know Financial systems and other systems I use it all the time from for student marks right so you know you get a table of data that comes in and it doesn’t make any sense what we’re going to look at how we’re going to deal with this right and how we’re going to make decisions based on this data and things like data science and machine learning will help you deal with some of these problems people who want to become experts in AI obviously need to develope.
Bit deeper but I think for a lot of people AI can just solve small problems in your pipeline that might make things a little bit easier having that extra string in your bow it’s not it’s not a terrible idea so in previous videos I told people you need to learn Ai and it’s something that I want to really focus on this year and this is why I’m talking to you you know right in the beginning of the year uh have you got like courses places that I can go to books that I can read any recommendations of how do I go from like.
Where I am now zero knowledge to yeah at least you know getting down that path to be able to put it online there are loads there’s loads of books and resources in Python to learn machine learning and data science um and that would be a great place to start I you know I’ve said it before many times I have a love hate relationship with python I like it sometimes and I don’t like it other times at the end of the day there are libraries in Python that do quite incredible machine learning and make your life a lot easier right so we’ve
Got things like psychic learn we’ve got tensor flow and Pie torch of course but there are tutorials and books written around these things and they take you from I don’t know what this network is to I can actually get one of these networks running on a machine and it’s often not that much code because of these libraries do a lot of heavy lifting for you often it becomes more plug-in building blocks together than it does right you know writing neural network layers from scratch which no you know we don’t do anymore you know so you
Can start by just plugging some things together and I’ve got a rudimentary Network that I don’t really understand that’s doing this classification and before long you’ve made your classification problem a little bit more complicated and you’ve got multi-class classification and then you’ve got a slightly different data set and then you’ve solved a data augmentation problem and you can add these things in and slowly work towards a bit more experience you know I have you know a number of undergraduate project students
Every year so in University in the third year you often do a dissertation which is like a um like a focused project over a whole year after most of my dissertation projects are going to be on AI and something like this and you know these are students who’ve done some you know machine learning maybe a little bit in their modules throughout their undergraduate and they know how to code but a lot of it’s new you know we pick it up and we run with it and we and we we drew some great stuff I’ve got some
Um I’ve got some students in the second year solving Rubik’s Cubes using machine learning to detect where the colors are and things like this and this is from scratch right so this is this is people who haven’t done machine learning before and like important minimized reaction I think it is very doable and I think it’s it’s you know and it’s fun as well right there’s nothing more satisfying to me than you’ve trained a network and it’s just classifying really accurately whatever it was you wanted to do I
Resources for learning A.I.
Basically my job is looking at numbers go up and I like when they go up so Mike I mean I’d love to come to you not in Nottingham University and attend your courses but obviously icon and so can you know most of us can’t um do you have any like resources or ideas that things places I can go to to learn often the first course I recommend for everyone is to take Andrew Angus Corsair of course right very popular I mean I don’t know how many times it’s been taken now millions of times it’s Andrew’s course on machine learning
There is a deep learning follow-up to it which I haven’t I haven’t done because partly I actually already know deep learning but um the machine learning course is really good it’s a good understanding of some of the key Concepts in machine learning and not specifically about yes a little bit about how neural networks work and things like this and it can be a little bit mathematical it’s my experience of it but if you if you watch it anyway you’re going to pick up a lot of tips and tricks so things like watching
Network train over time and reacting to how that works and doesn’t work and making decisions based on this these are the things really I think that people who want to do machine learning in an applied way in a know in a business or in an industry that’s what they need to better do a lot of them are not going to be writing neural networks from scratch or designing a number of layers in your network they’re going to take a network that we know works and run it on some new data and if that works great.
RELATED: 5 amazing things people have already done with ChatGPT 2023
First time then that’s fabulous but if it doesn’t what do you do then and these are things that you’re going to learn and start to learning that Coursera course Joshua bengio and others have written a book just called Deep learning which is very popular again obviously it can go into a little bit of heavy Mass detail but it’s very popular I would say don’t read it end to end it’s one to dip into while you’re doing some tutorials to understand a bit more about the theory and after that personally I would
Get I would do the pie torch tutorials or the psychic learn tutorials they can be directed at your own pace and they will include they’ll give you experience and all those different things right there’s there’s tutorials on things like reinforcement learning but also just standard cans and Transformers and things like this yeah and don’t don’t worry about you don’t have to do all of those on day one on day one we’re talking about about what is classification what is regression maybe
Should you get into CompSci?
Get something little going right really you know start yourself off nice and slow and build up the complexity as we go right it’s the same with any subject in computer science you can’t learn everything on the first day so you just have to take it a little bit at a time I’m glad you mentioned computer science um do you think it’s time to for more of us to learn computer science type stuff because of AI like math’s and all these computer science stuff not really I think that it’s it wouldn’t it’s not necessary for
Everyone to do that I think that you know I would encourage everyone to do computer science because I would but of course I I think that sometimes both computer science and an industry have a sort of reverse snobbery about each other right which I don’t like very much so for example computer scientists might say well if someone didn’t do a degree you know what do they really know about computers right which is not true and someone who’s who got on fine without a degree might go why would I go and get.
RELATED: What is ChatGPT, how ChatGPT has effect ICT industries jobs loss, What chatGPT can not do 2023
Student loans and do a degree and different paths are all valid I don’t I don’t know why we’re having this conversation right and I think um there are there are elements of maths in machine learning which help I suppose me to understand it a bit better when someone comes with a particularly weird problem that doesn’t you know they’ve added another layer and it’s not training why is that right they also help me sometimes when I’m reading papers because papers they can have a lot of mathematical notation in and
Sometimes that’s not necessary and they’ve just added it in but often it’s just it’s just to be absolutely clear about what they’ve done and and often the mathematical notation is necessary to achieve that rather than writing it in in sort of flavorful text but to begin with machine learning you don’t necessarily need to know those things you know you can train a network in pi torch with a knowledge of rudimentary knowledge of python and following some tutorials and you’ll pick up the rest as
Enhancing your career with A.I.
You go the really complicated math’s like back propagation which is how we train it that’s all taken care of under the hood you don’t see that it’s not something unless you’re really interested it’s not something to concern yourself with but I mean the great thing is if I’m in Industry I let or I’m into cyber or Dev or whatever I can really enhance my career prospects and the future by just adding this on to my skills yeah but and I also think that and I mentioned it before I think the
Other thing is it makes you much more resistant to hype and to concerns over things and also when someone comes to you and says oh yeah I’ve trained a neural network to do X Y and Z you can start to think hasn’t sound very likely right that sounds like the sort of thing but maybe is a bit fanciful right let’s let’s deal with let’s look at their data and see if that’s actually true what they’ve done and I think one of the reasons that chatgpt and stuff have been so hyped recently is because most.
People don’t know what it is and so when you see it doing what it does you think this thing must basically be a person right because it’s acting like one but actually it’s only acting like one in a very narrow thing and we know how it’s trained and how it’s trained doesn’t imply necessarily that it’s got any human qualities right it might but I don’t gut tells me not quite right but the point is that I I can I’m sort of more resistant to that in some sense because I I know how it works underneath
And I sort of think I’ve trained all these networks and this is a bigger version of networks that I’ve trained myself I don’t see what’s different about what’s so different about that that it would suddenly be unbelievably Insurgent compared to anything else if that makes sense some knowledge of house what some of these Technologies are just like knowledge of you know so some some companies trying to sell you a new firewall with Next Generation antivirus on it that has all kinds of machine.
RELATED: ChatGPT Best Alternatives in 2023
Learning well if you understand a bit about machine learning you’ll know what it will and won’t do right and that will allow you to make a better informed purchase decision and the answer is it will work pretty well right but it’s but nothing’s perfect and machine learning is only as good as the training data and so on so there’s lots of things you can ask and you can ask really difficult questions instead of people that come and try and sell it to you especially with things like Twitter and the news
It’s very easy to get carried away in this hype cycle right lots of technologies have this it’s in the interest of these companies to make these massive models of incredibly impressive performance I think we’re a long way from Full automation of a lot of these tasks even if it might appear that way a sort of superficial level but on the other hand they’re really promising in some other ways right so one of the things that I found that chat GPT is really good at is paraphrasing text and vice versa so you have a text
You don’t quite understand say please can you read this and tell me what it means or please can you summarize these bullet points in an email or something like this you know these kind of functions I think are actually working really well right because those are functions that rely on the their text to text they’re meant for text to text right they are that’s kind of what they’re for and I think that those are the ones that are really really good I think code completion is useful when you’re asking limited things that you
The limits of A.I.
Can carefully check quite quickly don’t ask it to produce a thousand lines of code that you expect them to all be perfect because that’s not what it will do right and and you’ll end up with a lot of weird bugs or I mean there was this used paper just released just the other day actually from Stanford that said that they they audited code from about 30 to 35 researchers who some of them were using um AI to produce some of the code and some of them weren’t and the AI produced code had more vulnerabilities.
That’s because when the AI produces code that works but let’s say it uses ECB mode in as or it uses a slightly weak key derivation or something I don’t know something subtle if they don’t know about that subject already they might accept that change if that makes sense right they actually so you need this is why you need to still be an expert in your field because you can’t just rely on it to do it for you yet you’ve got to be there saying I think that’s okay or I don’t think that’s okay
Make those decisions for yourself yeah I mean you know it’s a limited study but like it’s not that limited and it makes a very valid point I think the real danger is people who and and I should carry out this by saying I’m not selling short these these incredible technology is I’m just saying that it would be very silly to just completely use them blind and never check what they do right because we know they just make stuff up a lot of the time I think a bit of domain knowledge is always going to
Help I mean it’s interesting because I did I did some tests with like Cisco devices and um it’s amazing like first time it got a perfect then I wanted to do it for a video and then it wasn’t good and I did like five or six attempts and none of them were perfect yeah I think if I didn’t know what it was doing I would have accepted it sorry go on yeah and the other thing is that you know if you think about a date of it it’s trained on it’s got some 40 40 plus billion tokens right it’s just internet.
RELATED: 5 amazing things ChatGPT can do
Text we’ll just leave it at that right loads and loads of text Cisco related text is only going to form a very very small fraction of that various vertical evidence because it’s not got a world model because it’s not got an understanding of the world where it can bring Cisco in and correct add it to its model it’s just doing text completion and so when something is underrepresented in a training set it’s gonna probably be worth performing when it comes to actually running it later right so when you say write me write me
Something in the style of Shakespeare it’s going to do really well because there’s Shakespeare all over the internet right some tasks are going to be very solvable because they’ve just they’re hugely represented in the trading set they work really well and some tasks are really Niche and of course you don’t know which one’s a niche because you haven’t seen the training set I say write me a link expression and it does it really well and when I say write me a link expression using some other thing and
That isn’t in a training set and it produces me a wrong answer and I don’t know until I run it whether that’s the case so I have to understand and be able to read that code because otherwise I can’t possibly put it into my system and it’s just it goes back to the exact same problem with medicine right it might be that we’re absolutely confident but they say I will look at this image and make the correct decision but we’re not absolutely sure and while we’re not absolutely sure do we want to completely
Take a human out of the loop there there’s questions to you know we have to think about so do you think it’ll become like the AI might do a lot of the low level I think that’s much closer to what will happen so I think in in there’s a phrase in medicine called CAD or computer-aided diagnosis and the idea is that instead of the doctor not making a decision the doctor will be guided into a decision by the AI saying we’ve noticed these spots over here in this image is that relevant to you and it will speed them up right.
RELATED: Will 2023 Be The Year That OpenAI ChatGPT Breaks Free
And if we can make doctors or Medics 50 more efficient that’s a huge that’s that’s a huge boost rather than try and put it all on the AI and similarly it works in code if you can produce boilerplate code if you can get it to bootstrap spring boots configuration files for you fabulous do that right and then that saves you half an hour to an hour of doing some actual code or making sure that it worked but what I would have avoid you know what I would avoid doing is trying to have it write everything for you and replace yourself
Because I don’t think it will work I think you’ll end up really frustrated that your code doesn’t get part past any of your reviews because it didn’t work right I was going to say I love what you said though because with that example at Stanford if if if people had just accepted the code there’s hidden vulnerabilities in the code that wouldn’t have been picked up yeah and and then there’s a combination of issues right is it that the developer needs to know more about these subjects
Or is it that they’re someone that would normally be on that team that wasn’t auditing that code that would have been auditing that code at that time you know you know because you have security teams sometimes who are specialists in this but I think it’s that same argument in some ways if someone has a small amount of knowledge of computer security that might allow them to be more resistant when code appears it does this and that’s the same thing with the AI if you know a little bit about AI maybe you can
A.I in academics And How A.I. affects academic work
You can better deal with it when something comes along so I think a little bit of knowledge in lots of these things is is often useful for that reason micro so how’s this affected like University life because I’ve heard people talk about how students can just get check GPD to write their essays and stuff like that so and you can’t you can’t see the difference between a student and a like a human sorry and yeah um I think it’s very subject dependent I think that’s one thing so um what we’ve
Done is we’ve done we’ve actually been running some tests right because so you know if I kind of open out and drop this tournament just before exams yeah yeah exactly um yeah we’ve run some tests and like I think it depends on if if I show suppose we’re doing a computer security exam which actually I I teach so you know right and I ask a very simple question right a question like what’s a good encryption algorithm to use track GPT can answer that so it’ll be unwise of me to ask that question in an exam.
Suppose what we say in some sense I think it’s another variant of a search engine so if a student could you know can we call it academic misconduct right if a student was going to use a search engine to do that they could also have a go at using chat GPT it has the advantage for that student but it’s generating very plausible looking answers sometimes they’re completely wrong right and those answers are going to get marked very far down when they come in front of of a of a convenience so I think your mileage may vary if you.
RELATED: VIDEO – How to use ChatGPT to build Business Ideas, Sites and Personal Projects
Think you can get through a University degree using just AI tools it’s something we have to consider right now some of our exams are face to face they aren’t really affected right you know we’re talking about coursework essays and we I don’t know I haven’t spoken too much to other other schools in the university in other subject areas but obviously there are lots of essay-based subjects but they require very well written essays trap GPT has a habit of producing general answers to things right which are sometimes very detailed
But sometimes not quite so detailed again I think that your mileage would vary if you tried this I suspect that it is possible to tell that they’re written by chat GPT to an extent because it has a way of phrasing things that’s quite common I’ve noticed as I as I produce answers but that isn’t sure that isn’t necessarily all the time but that’s going to be a problem it’s something that every University on Earth is now looking at work so yeah it’s had a big impact and you know when you consider.
That this is just version one right and you know there’s going to be a chat gp22 probably and Microsoft might release one and Google release one and so on and so forth there’s gonna there’s always going to be one of these tools floating about that we have to just be prepared and think about how that how that’s going to work I think I mean the examples I’ve seen which have worked really well is like if I’m asked to write an essay about something I can get it to write something that gives me a lot of ideas
And then I can just rephrase it in my own voice but it’s it helps you a lot from a study point of view yeah I think actually does and I think so anyway that’s a that’s a big positive way and there are some academics in in this school for example and across across the world who operate in a kind of human computer interaction area who are very interested in could you end up writing a better essay if you worked with a computer to help you out right and in in a way is that not a win for the lecturers as well if that’s the case now
I agree with that to an extent I think that’s absolutely right I think that maybe we can’t solve that whole discussion in a month right which is how long it is until our exams so you know the clock is ticking in somewhat it’s somewhat in the short term for for these issues but in the longer term I think they’re going to be really transformative in helping you know there are students who have who are very very intelligent and they know all the subject area but they’re just not good at exams they really struggle to get.
RELATED: How to fix the ChatGPT is at capacity right now error?
Their thoughts down on paper maybe those students could really be helped by something like this because if you give really specific prompts to chat GPT you get much better answers if a student knows what they’re doing and can work with the AI I think that’s going to be much better I mean I suppose the you could have said the same thing for Google or you know using search engines for yeah yeah that’s that’s the point that’s been made I mean in some ways I see on Twitter a lot of people um
Compare these things to Google I would not because they’re very different um and they don’t have no source of actual data right that’s the really important thing to remember but they they are a complementary tool in many ways and they are they operate in a similar way if you were going to try and answer an exam you know you would put the question in you’d rephrase it you’d see what came out you’d see does that look plausible I’m going to try again I’m going to edit it and so on in the
Same way that you would if you were doing if you’re using a search engine to write an essay as well and right using a search engine to write an essay and I don’t want to speak for every academic on the planet right but it’s not necessarily plagiarism or misconduct it depends on how you use it right you know looking up sources online is absolutely to be encouraged it depends on how you’re doing this I think in the long term we will get a nice balance actually between using it too much and not using
It enough and I think actually there’s another thing there’s another aspect which is I think this plays into your this is relevant to your channels viewers is that you don’t you shouldn’t think of doing a degree or writing a coursework as just about getting a mark right that’s very easy to think about that but actually it’s about learning something that you can then take and use in your career or something like that right we don’t teach people to program so they pass the exams we teach them.
Program so they can go off and be software developers if you use AI to write all of your work for you then you get out you wouldn’t be able to get a job and you wouldn’t better work in that job because you wouldn’t be able to do any of the computer science actually I think that if you got a lot because I have quite a lot of learning and I love to learn about new soft topics particularly you know around computer science I would never use chat GPT to cheat because I wouldn’t know any of it then right and you know and I like to
Conclusion
ChatGPT and AI mastery: How to get started in AI.. learn about these things now if you want to become an expert in something then you’re going to need to learn it you can’t read what chat GPT wrote A lot of it comes down to hoping that students and trying to encourage students to think that it’s about the process of learning and where they get to at the end rather than specifically about a series of of kind of barriers of exams that they have to get through right which I think is is not a good way to look at a degree or any course really you know it’s much better to think about.
where you’ll be at the end right and you’ll be in that much better position to do what you want to do next that’s exactly right I mean it’s a like certification exams same thing you know you can go and get all the answers or the cheetah sites or you can actually learn something and and you haven’t done yourself any favors if you get it off because you might get a job based on that it’s not going to go well right because you don’t you don’t have any of the knowledge you’ll always feel like
You don’t have any of the knowledge as well right you know actually it doesn’t take that long to learn things if you really put yourself to it and you’ll be in such a much better position afterwards Mike as always I really want to thank you for you know sharing your knowledge and you know separating the hype from like the worries about people’s futures thanks so much for making a drill yeah it’s no problem glad to be on again it’s been really really good brilliant thanks Mike thanks
