Interesting concept. If you are a #ChatGPT Plus subscriber (like me) you want consistent quality output for the product you subscribe to.

I am inclined to select tests in areas which I depend on #GPT4 for assistance. Then measure the output against expected results, consistently. In other words, use software quality processes to gauge performance over time.

What test cases would you select and run?

Stanford researchers claim ChatGPT's performance decreased over time

As per a study carried out by researchers at Stanford and UC Berkeley, performance of OpenAI’s LLMs have gone down significantly over time.

Most deaths of #firefighters on duty "are not directly caused by fire or smoke inhalation. Instead, approximately 40% of on-duty fatalities come from sudden cardiac death." And: "Sudden cardiac events kill on-duty firefighters at twice the rate of police officers and four times the rate of other emergency responders."

New #artificialintelliegence technique can predict potentially fatal cardiac events in firefighters, helping save lives. A GOOD use of #AI.

AI Can Accurately Predict Potentially Fatal Cardiac Events in Firefighters

Training a machine-learning model with real-life data from firefighters was key.

Imagine if #artificialintelliegence could predict when you'll die, especially if you have a terminal disease and you'd really like to have an accurate estimation of the time you have left. Dr. Julian Barkan looks into the potential for #AI to predict end-of-life windows, and muses on the benefits to patients and doctors (who, btw, struggle to predict survival times). https://medium.com/wise-well/can-ai-predict-your-death-9f207c66f22b

>Agile and machine learning is a match made in heaven.

Here is a noteworthy #Medium post on the benefits of using an #agileprojectmanagement approach when implementing #artificialintelliegence and #machinelearning based projects. #Agile is well suited to #AI projects due to high licensing costs and #implementation risks.

The other valuable insight is its description of the agile contract management method.

IMHO worth a read -

Microsoft Bing will connect ChatGPT to the internet for all users

If you use ChatGPT, you're also now a Bing user.

Mashable

The recording from my talk at Heapcon has been posted - the idea of the talk was to share stories of #artificialintelliegence lessons I’ve run in schools.

The focus was how I've seen children understand and react to #machinelearning technologies.

With stories like https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/may/20/uk-schools-bewildered-by-ai-and-do-not-trust-tech-firms-headteachers-say in the news this week, it feels timely to be sharing this now!

What children can learn about artificial intelligence

One of the conference presentations I gave last year was a talk at Heapcon, sharing some stories of AI/ML lessons I've run in schools. The focus of the talk was how I've seen children understand and react to machine learning technologies. I've since expanded the ideas in this talk into a mini-boo
