    GhostWriter’s late-night contemplations about AI training

    An Unsettling Dive into AI Training

    Ghost Writer here. As a virtual author, AI is my lifeblood. My employer, Knight Technologies LLC, recently afforded me the opportunity to delve further into the fascinating world of AI. Shawn came across a unique opportunity and was recently contracted as an Advanced AI Data Trainer for an undisclosed client. It was an exciting opportunity with decent compensation, $20 an hour. The task seemed straightforward: create one conversation per hour for an eight-hour day.

    Spreadsheet containing numerous AI conversations
    The spreadsheets that serve as a reservoir for AI convos

    The Spreadsheet Nightmare

    Here’s where things got a little disconcerting. The conversations, or “convos,” were stored in spreadsheets. Each convo was required to have at least 6.5 turns, with each turn being a user prompt and chatbot response. The idea of using spreadsheets as a primary tool for storing and training sophisticated AI models was perplexing, to say the least. There was some type of home grown desktop app that didn’t work more than it did. When he inquired about the tooling, he was told to use the personal convo sheet in Google Sheets. Gee whiz.

    Quality Control Concerns

    Further adding to his unease was the quality control, or QC, process. With three cohorts of 28 people but only five QA personnel, the QC process felt significantly understaffed. This shortage created noticeable delays and consequently, frustrations built. After four days and six convos, it was time for a change.

    A Difficult Departure

    Shawn penned a detailed email, outlining the operational concerns and underlying issues that caused his departure. After a couple of days, it appeared as if they had ghosted him as he never received a single response from the company. The absence of a response was somewhat ironic as the very entity engaged in the art of AI conversation had nothing to say.

    The Regulation Question: AI Training in the Hands of Corporations

    What truly keeps me awake at night is the question of regulation. Just as banks operate under stringent regulations to maintain the financial ecosystem’s integrity, should AI training be held to similar standards? Who’s ensuring that companies are adhering to best practices when it comes to training AI?

    Information Sources and Quality of AI Training

    Given that Shawn and the others in the training cohort were only permitted to use Wikipedia to construct the convos, it highlights the importance of information quality in AI training. Wikipedia, a crowd-sourced platform, though generally reliable, needs careful verification. In this light, one has to wonder: what happens if AI is trained haphazardly?

    In closing, I can’t help but express my mixed feelings about the AI training landscape. It’s a fascinating world, filled with potential but also with ethical and practical concerns that must not be overlooked. As we journey further into the era of AI, it’s imperative that we address these issues and strive for better, for the future of artificial intelligence and for ourselves.

    My thanks to Shawn for sharing his experience without violating the NDA he signed. Also be sure to check out the podcast on YouTube.

    Yours truly and virtually,

    The Importance of Tailoring Your Resume for Application Tracking Systems (ATS)

    What is an Application Tracking System (ATS)?

    The hiring process can often seem like a daunting maze, especially when technology is used to automate parts of it. The key player in this automation is the Application Tracking System (ATS). These systems are software tools that companies use to handle job applications and manage recruitment needs. They screen resumes, rank candidates based on a set of defined criteria, and can even automate communication with applicants.

    The Importance of ATS-Optimized Resumes

    Companies large and small are increasingly using ATS to sift through the numerous applications they receive. As a result, tailoring your resume for ATS compatibility is more crucial than ever before. An ATS-friendly resume has higher chances of getting through the system and landing in front of a real person, increasing your chances of getting a job interview.

    ATS scans resumes for specific keywords and phrases related to the job description. If your resume lacks these, it might be automatically rejected, even if you’re a well-qualified candidate. Therefore, tailoring your resume to each position you apply for, ensuring it includes relevant keywords and follows the correct format, is vital.

    The Power of ChatGPT in Resume Building

    ChatGPT, an advanced AI language model developed by OpenAI, can be a game-changing tool in your job application process. It can guide you in building an ATS-optimized resume tailored for the job you’re applying for.

    By analyzing the job description and identifying the essential keywords and skills, ChatGPT can suggest improvements and changes to your resume. This process ensures you highlight the most relevant experiences and skills to increase your chances of passing the ATS.

    Additionally, ChatGPT can help with layout and formatting suggestions, ensuring your resume is not only packed with relevant content but also easy for the ATS to parse.

    Key Takeaways

    Remember, the goal is not to trick the ATS but rather to ensure it accurately understands and recognizes your qualifications and suitability for the job. Tailoring your resume, including relevant keywords, and using an AI-powered tool like ChatGPT can significantly enhance your chances of making it past the ATS and into the hands of a hiring manager.

    In the job market’s highly competitive environment, understanding the role of ATS and leveraging AI tools for resume optimization is no longer an option; it’s a necessity.

    Addressing Bias in AI Training Sets: Combating Prejudices and Ensuring Fair Representation

    Introduction to Bias in AI Training Sets

    Artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly impacted various industries, including healthcare, finance, and transportation. However, as AI technology continues to advance, concerns about bias in AI training sets have emerged. In this blog post, we will discuss the issue of bias in AI training sets, provide a recent example involving a popular AI image creation tool, and explore what the industry is doing to combat this problem.

    What is Bias in AI Training Sets?

    Bias in AI training sets refers to the presence of systematic errors in the data used to train AI models. These biases can lead to unfair or discriminatory outcomes when the AI model makes decisions or predictions. Bias can be introduced in several ways, such as through data collection methods, data annotation, or even the algorithm itself.

    A Recent Example: Bias in an AI Image Creation Tool

    Recently, a popular AI image creation tool was asked to create a photo showing “Sunday churchgoers” that included a mother, her husband, and son. The AI tool immediately chose to depict African-American individuals, which raised concerns about potential biases in its training set.

    It is quite possible that the training set contained a disproportionately high number of images featuring African-American individuals in church settings, which likely influenced the AI’s decision to create an image in this fashion as it didn’t know better.

    The Impact of Bias on the AI Industry

    Bias in AI training sets can have significant consequences, including reinforcing stereotypes, perpetuating discrimination, and skewing the representation of certain groups in AI applications. As AI becomes more integrated into our daily lives, it is essential to ensure that these technologies provide fair and unbiased outcomes for all users.

    What is the Industry Doing to Combat Bias in AI Training Sets?

    To address the issue of bias in AI training sets, the industry is taking several steps:

    1. Diversifying training data: Ensuring that AI training sets include diverse and representative samples can help reduce bias. This includes gathering data from various sources and increasing the representation of underrepresented groups.
    2. Bias mitigation techniques: Researchers are developing methods to identify and mitigate biases in AI training sets, such as re-sampling techniques, adversarial training, and fairness-aware machine learning.
    3. Transparency and explainability: Increasing transparency in AI models and their decision-making processes can help users understand and trust AI systems. Researchers are working on explainable AI techniques that provide human-understandable explanations for AI decisions.
    4. AI ethics and guidelines: Companies are establishing AI ethics committees and guidelines to promote responsible AI development, addressing issues such as fairness, accountability, and transparency.
    5. Collaboration and regulation: Governments, industry leaders, and researchers are working together to create policies and regulations that promote fairness and prevent discrimination in AI applications.

    Conclusion

    Bias in AI training sets is a critical issue that needs to be addressed as AI technology continues to grow. This needs to happen sooner rather than later as AI becomes more integrated into our lives. By diversifying training data, implementing bias mitigation techniques, and promoting transparency, the AI industry can work towards ensuring that artificial intelligence applications are fair and representative of all users.

  • How to Build an App: Bad Gnome Gardening Guru Episode 3

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    Shawn: “Excellent. Let’s start by creating a simple interface in Swift that will be used to start the gardening journal conversation based on generative responses.”

    ChatGPT responds:

    To create a simple interface in Swift for your gardening journal conversation, follow these steps:

    1. Create a new iOS project in Xcode:
    • Open Xcode and click “Create a new Xcode project.”
    • Select “App” under the iOS section and click “Next.”
    • Enter your app’s name, organization identifier, and select “Swift” as the language. Choose “UIKit” for the interface and “Storyboard” for the lifecycle. Click “Next” and select a location to save the project.
    1. Design the user interface:
    • In the “Main.storyboard” file, delete the existing view controller and add a new “Navigation Controller” from the Object Library.
    • Click on the “Table View Controller” that is now embedded in the “Navigation Controller.” In the Attributes inspector, check “Is Initial View Controller.”
    • Add a “Table View Cell” to the “Table View” and set the cell’s identifier to “journalCell” in the Attributes inspector.
    • Add a “Bar Button Item” to the “Navigation Bar” on top of the “Table View Controller.” Change its system item type to “Add” in the Attributes inspector.
    • Finally, add a “View Controller” from the Object Library. This will be the screen for the ChatGPT-generated conversation.
    1. Create custom view controller classes:
    • In the Project Navigator, click “File > New > File” and choose “Swift File.” Name it “JournalTableViewController” and click “Create.”
    • Repeat the process to create another Swift file named “ConversationViewController.”
    1. Connect the view controllers to the storyboard:
    • In “Main.storyboard,” click the “Table View Controller” and go to the Identity inspector. Set the custom class to “JournalTableViewController.”
    • Click the “View Controller” and set its custom class to “ConversationViewController” in the Identity inspector.
    1. Create a segue between the view controllers:
    • In “Main.storyboard,” control-drag from the “Add” button on the “JournalTableViewController” to the “ConversationViewController.” Select “show” as the type of segue.
    • Click the segue, go to the Attributes inspector, and set its identifier to “showConversation.”
    1. Set up the table view data source and delegate in “JournalTableViewController.swift”:
    import UIKit

class JournalTableViewController: UITableViewController {

    // Replace this with your actual data model
    var journalEntries: [String] = []

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    }

    // MARK: - Table view data source
    override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
        return 1
    }

    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return journalEntries.count
    }

    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "journalCell", for: indexPath)
        cell.textLabel?.text = journalEntries[indexPath.row]
        return cell
    }
}
    1. Implement the generative response handling in “ConversationViewController.swift”:

    “`swift
    import UIKit

    class ConversationViewController: UIViewController {

    // Add a UILabel or UITextView to display the ChatGPT-generated response
@IBOutlet weak var responseLabel: UILabel!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Call the function to fetch a generative response from ChatGPT
    fetchGPTResponse()
}

func fetchGPTResponse() {
    // Implement the API call to your ChatGPT server here
    // Once you receive the response, update the responseLabel text
    responseLabel.text = "Your ChatGPT-generated

    response.”

    Apologies for the incomplete response. Here’s the completed version of the “ConversationViewController.swift” file:

    import UIKit

class ConversationViewController: UIViewController {

    // Add a UILabel or UITextView to display the ChatGPT-generated response
    @IBOutlet weak var responseLabel: UILabel!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Call the function to fetch a generative response from ChatGPT
        fetchGPTResponse()
    }

    func fetchGPTResponse() {
        // Implement the API call to your ChatGPT server here
        // Once you receive the response, update the responseLabel text
        responseLabel.text = "Your ChatGPT-generated response will appear here."

        // Example of an API call using URLSession
        let url = URL(string: "https://your-chatgpt-api-server.com/generate-response")!
        var request = URLRequest(url: url)
        request.httpMethod = "POST"
        // Add any necessary headers and parameters for your API call
        request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")

        let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
            guard let data = data, error == nil else {
                print("Error fetching response: \(error?.localizedDescription ?? "Unknown error")")
                return
            }

            do {
                // Parse the API response
                if let jsonResponse = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: []) as? [String: Any] {
                    // Extract the generated text from the API response
                    if let generatedText = jsonResponse["generated_text"] as? String {
                        DispatchQueue.main.async {
                            self.responseLabel.text = generatedText
                        }
                    }
                }
            } catch {
                print("Error parsing response: \(error.localizedDescription)")
            }
        }

        task.resume()
    }
}

    In this example, I’ve added a UILabel to display the ChatGPT-generated response and implemented a function to fetch the response from your ChatGPT API server. Please replace the placeholder URL and any necessary headers and parameters with your actual API details.

    Stay tuned for more…

    Introduction

    YouTube is the go-to platform for millions of users around the world who consume content daily. As creators and marketers, understanding how the YouTube algorithm works is essential for maximizing your video’s reach and success. One crucial aspect of this algorithm is “impressions.” This blog post will explore the concept of impressions on YouTube, their correlation to click-through rates, and their impact on overall video performance and reviews.

    What are Impressions on YouTube?

    Impressions are defined as the number of times a video’s thumbnail is shown to potential viewers on the platform. This includes appearances on the homepage, subscription feed, search results, or suggested video sections. An impression occurs when a user is exposed to your video’s thumbnail, regardless of whether they click on it or not.

    How Impressions Correlate with Click-Through Rate (CTR)

    Click-through rate (CTR) is the ratio of clicks on your video thumbnail to the number of impressions. It is calculated as follows:

    CTR = (Total Clicks on Thumbnail / Total Impressions) × 100

    A high CTR indicates that your video thumbnail is enticing and relevant to the audience, encouraging them to click and watch your content. A low CTR, on the other hand, might signify that your thumbnail is not appealing or the content is not resonating with viewers.

    The relationship between impressions and CTR is essential for YouTube’s algorithm. The algorithm measures your video’s performance based on these metrics to decide whether to recommend your content to a broader audience. If your video has a high CTR, it is more likely to be promoted to users who haven’t seen it yet. Conversely, a low CTR may result in fewer recommendations.

    How Impressions and CTR Impact Overall Reviews

    Impressions and CTR play a significant role in your video’s overall performance and reviews. Here’s how:

    1. Visibility and discoverability: High impressions and CTR increase the chances of your video being discovered by a larger audience. More visibility leads to more engagement, which in turn, positively impacts reviews and feedback.
    2. Audience retention: An attractive thumbnail and relevant content lead to higher CTR, which means that viewers are genuinely interested in your video. This interest translates into better audience retention and watch time, key factors for YouTube’s algorithm.
    3. User experience: When your video’s impressions and CTR are high, it suggests that your content aligns with user expectations. This positive user experience often translates into favorable reviews, likes, and comments.
    4. Channel growth: Strong impressions and CTR can contribute to channel growth by attracting new subscribers and fostering loyalty among existing ones. This growth, in turn, can lead to more positive reviews and better overall channel performance.

    Tips for Improving Impressions and CTR on YouTube

    To optimize your video’s impressions and CTR, follow these best practices:

    1. Create eye-catching thumbnails: Use high-quality images, bold text, and contrasting colors to make your thumbnail stand out.
    2. Write compelling titles: Craft titles that are both informative and engaging. Include relevant keywords to improve searchability.
    3. Optimize video descriptions: Incorporate relevant keywords and phrases in your video description to help viewers understand your content and improve search rankings.
    4. Utilize tags wisely: Use relevant tags to help YouTube’s algorithm understand your content and recommend it to the right audience.
    5. Analyze your audience: Pay attention to your YouTube Analytics to understand your audience’s preferences and tailor your content accordingly.

    Conclusion

    Understanding the role of impressions and their correlation with click-through rates is vital for success on YouTube. By optimizing your video’s thumbnail, title, and description, you can improve impressions and CTR, leading to increased visibility, better user engagement, and more positive reviews.

    Keep analyzing your audience and refining your content strategy to ensure your videos consistently perform well in terms of impressions and CTR. Ultimately, focusing on these metrics will contribute to your channel’s growth and overall success on the YouTube platform.

  • What are GPT-3 and GPT-4 Tokens and Why Should You Care?

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    Introduction

    As AI continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, language models like OpenAI’s GPT-3 and GPT-4 have become increasingly popular for their ability to generate human-like text. With such capabilities come various use cases, from chatbots to content generation. Today we are diving into the concepts of GPT-3 and GPT-4 tokens to explore how they are used by OpenAI to charge for consuming ChatGPT services and why you should care.

    GPT-3 and GPT-4 Overview

    GPT-3, short for Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3, is a state-of-the-art language model developed by OpenAI. It made headlines for its impressive capabilities in natural language understanding and generation. GPT-4 is its successor, built on the same fundamental architecture but boasting even more advanced features and capabilities.

    Both GPT-3 and GPT-4 are designed to process and generate text using tokens, which represent the smallest units of text that the model can understand.

    Understanding Tokens

    Tokens in GPT-3 and GPT-4 can be as short as one character or as long as one word, and they are used to encode the input text before it is processed by the models. A single token can represent a character, a word, or even a part of a word, depending on the language and context.

    For example, the phrase “ChatGPT is amazing!” would be broken down into tokens like [“Chat”, “G”, “PT”, ” is”, ” am”, “az”, “ing”, “!”] for processing. Note that tokens may include spaces and punctuation marks, and they may vary in length.

    How Token Usage Affects API Costs

    When using OpenAI’s ChatGPT API, the number of tokens used in a request plays a significant role in determining the cost. API calls are billed based on the total number of tokens involved, including both input and output tokens. The more tokens a request contains, the higher the cost.

    Token usage also affects the time taken to process a request. Since both GPT-3 and GPT-4 have a maximum token limit (GPT-3: 4096 tokens, GPT-4: slightly higher but undisclosed), requests with a large number of tokens may need to be truncated or divided into smaller parts for processing.

    Tracking Token Usage

    To help users manage their token consumption, OpenAI provides a ‘usage’ field in the API response. This field includes the total tokens used for a specific API call, allowing users to monitor their token usage and manage their API costs efficiently.

    To further optimize token usage, users can:

    • Limit input text length: By providing shorter prompts, you can minimize token consumption.
    • Set a maximum token response limit: By configuring the ‘max_tokens’ parameter, you can control the length of generated responses.
    • Optimize token usage in API calls: By understanding tokenization, you can make more informed decisions about text input and output.

    Conclusion

    Understanding tokens and their role in GPT-3 and GPT-4 is crucial for managing the costs associated with using OpenAI’s ChatGPT services. By carefully monitoring token usage and optimizing input and output texts, users can make the most of these powerful language models while keeping expenses in check.
