The power of AI is its ability to turn unstructured data into structured data

I want to see more tools and fewer operated machines - we should be embracing our humanity instead of blindly improving efficiency. And that involves using our new AI technology in more deft ways than generating more content for humans to evaluate. I believe the real game changers are going to have very little to do with plain content generation. L

• Involve analysis, interpretation, or review of unstructured content (e.g. text) at scale


• Require massive scaling that may be otherwise prohibitive due to limited resources


• Would be challenging for rules-based or traditional ML approaches

The real power of AI lies in its capability to reclaim vast quantities of data at unknown speeds. This enables AI to identify perceptivity and make assumptions that would be unattainable for humans to achieve individually. This data-driven approach provides significant advantages across various industries, leading to further informed decision-makin

There is also active research into understanding whether AI can pretrain on its own content. This is what chess-playing AIs already do, learning by playing games against themselves, but it is not yet clear whether it will work for LLMs. Because of the variety of data sources used, learning is not always a good thing. AI can also learn biases, error

Fifth, the heavy dependence of contemporary AI on training sets can also lead to a pernicious echo-chamber effect, in which a system ends up being trained on data that it generated itself earlier.
