#Gartner suggests Friday afternoon #Copilot ban because tired users may be too lazy to check its mistakes
Admins may be even more exhausted by then, because securing #Microsoft’s #AI helper is not a trivial job
Copilot output isn’t fit for sharing without review making validation necessary for all users at all times. He suggested Friday afternoons are a time when workers might just want to get job done and won’t bother to check for errors that Microsoft’s #chatbot produce

In the meantime, you lovely people in #Frankfurt can come to our event with the NODE Forum for Digital Arts (@nodeforum) this Friday. We're calling to the creative community to come and build a tiny #chatbot from scratch for a new digital art space (the amazing 'display'). No #LLM and no Big Tech involved. The point is to show that if there is anything clever in #AI, it is not the algorithm, it is your data. And we intend to make really great, quirky data for the tiny bot!

So if you want to experience what it is like to use very small language models as a medium for critical and creative work, do join!

PS: the 'display' space is painted in the most wonderful green. Guaranteed to give you Spring feelings 🌷

The field was officially named in the 1950s, but ideas about automated machines have existed since long before then. This is a history of the development of Artificial Intelligence from some of its earliest philosophical and theoretical inceptions through to modern day […]
