Here is me building on CMC theories to prove @ICA_CAT -worthy
Haha Bing not quite what I had in mind

Great opportunity at Cornell Tech for faculty on sabbatical -- or on a mission! #pitech

PiTech Faculty Impact Fellowship — PiTech @ Cornell Tech

I mean, how can you not love this deliriously optimistic protest (posted by @MichalFeldman9@twitter)
Just got access to Bard, which managed the Winograd Schemas well, too. Though I really didn't need that much detail about Styrofoam 🤷‍♂️
Progress! #GPT4 nails (this) Winograd Schema that failed ChatGPT.
Our experiment asked for human/AI labels for profiles but this time included "optimized" profiles, predicted to be rated as more human. Indeed, across contexts, people rated "optimized" profiles MUCH more often as human, compared to the human or "regular" AI-generated profiles.
We used mixed methods to uncover these heuristics & computationally show that they are indeed predictive of people's evaluations... but rarely predictive of whether the text was ACTUALLY AI-generated or human-written. The figure below shows some of the features people associated with AI (network icon) or human (human), and whether this heuristic was generally wrong (red), or correct (green).

An AI test from 1971 shows you need to adjust your #ChatGPT expectations.

In 1971, Terry Winograd devised the Winograd Schemas, simple sentence understanding tasks that require the use of knowledge and commonsense reasoning. Humans understand them easily. ChatGPT... not so much.

US-based academics, looking for something meaningful AND cool* to do on your sabbatical? Here's a program for you**.

* AND in a great location

** I should add, while I don't run the program, I am pretty sure "Effective Altruism" does not count as Public Interest Tech.
