I'm pleased to share that the script and slides for my recent Carmax/Edmunds DevOps Days conference talk, 'Separating AI Fact from Fiction for Accelerated API Development' has now been posted online.

You can find it on my website here: https://matthewreinbold.com/2023/06/23/SeparatingAIFactFromFiction

You can also read a bit more about why I get a bit exasperated about the inevitable question, "What's the prompt?" on my newsletter: https://netapinotes.substack.com/p/how-to-use-ai-for-better-api-creation

"The danger with automation isn’t some remote, far-off sci-fi dystopia. Instead, the harms are the much more mundane, everyday negligence that Virginia Eubanks documented in her 2018 book, Automating Inequality. Software can perpetuate bad systems. Automation can perpetuate bad systems at scale."

"Dismissing today’s current crop of LLMs, or “generative AI” as only capable of “telling lies” or “hallucinating” projects far more personhood and sentience - a will or agenda present during interactions - than what exists.
