ChatGPT and Education: Hype Versus Reality (3/24/2023 12 Noon)

In a few short months, many of us have heard of or tried ChatGPT, the large language model (LLM) that generates coherent texts on demand in a broadly accessible chat interface. Many opinions have been voiced about ChatGPT and other natural language intelligence systems, and crucially, how they may affect education and teaching in practice. Are LLMs an unstoppable force for cheating, a powerful tool for learning, or all or none of the above?…

Mind the Bot? How Close are Chatbots to Having Minds (Like Ours)? (3/22/23)

The remarkable performances of chatbots like ChatGPT have arguably made the classic Turing Test for machine intelligence obsolete; ChatGPT’s ability to participate in convincing human-like conversations is uncanny. But are we any closer to artificial general intelligence? To AIs with minds ? In this talk, I will explore some of the ways that generative language models like ChatGPT do and do not behave like human minds and what they would need to get closer to being truly minded….

Making Technology Talk: Conversation And/As Artificial Intelligence

Making Technology Talk Poster

March 2, 2023 Abstract: As an early metric for what he called “machine intelligence,” Alan Turing proposed an “imitation game.” In this game, a human would converse via a text-only interface with two partners–one human and one machine–then would guess which one was which. Turing thus reduced the question of machine intelligence to the question of…
