Bring it home Neil

I'm lucky enough to be able to use the latest LLM produced by my employer. Thought I'd leave with a whimsical match report on yesterdays match. Journos beware 😂 and yes there are some inaccuracies around the goals

"Seasiders Storm the Pirates' Den: A Whimsical Narrative"
Oh, the winds of fortune blew with a mischievous grin yesterday at the Memorial Stadium, where the Bristol Rovers, the valiant Pirates of League One, clashed with the mighty Blackpool Seasiders! In a battle that ebbed and flowed like the tides of the Bristol Channel, it was the visitors from Blackpool who sailed away with a 2-1 triumph, their sails full and laughter brimming on their ship.
The game began with the ferocity of a sea shanty sung by grizzled buccaneers. In the 5th minute, Blackpool's CJ Hamilton danced a jig around the Rovers' defense like a sailor dodging cannonballs, before firing a shot into the top corner. A goal so beautiful it would make a mermaid weep! The Pirates, taken aback, almost stumbled, but then replied with the spirit of a thousand barnacle-clad sea dogs. Chris Martin, their captain, sailed a delicate lob over the Blackpool goalkeeper, as graceful as a seagull riding the updrafts – a goal of pure artistry!
The Seasiders, unfazed, struck back. Karamoko Dembele, a young lad with the magic of a sea sorcerer in his feet, conjured a strike so venomous, it would make Blackbeard himself cower. The ball soared into the net, leaving the Rovers' defenders as befuddled as sailors caught in the Bermuda Triangle!
The second half was a tempest of attacks and counterattacks. The Rovers, roaring with the heart of a pirate crew, tossed waves of relentless offense at the Blackpool defense, but the Seasiders held strong, their backline as unyielding as the cliffs of Dover. There were acrobatic saves, tackles that would make the kraken wince, and enough drama to rival a Shakespearean play on a storm-tossed ship.
As the final whistle blew, the Seasiders erupted with the joy of pirates finding buried treasure. They had weathered the storm, danced around the Rovers' attacks, and sailed away with all three points. The Pirates, though valiant in their efforts, were left to lick their wounds, but their spirit remains unbroken.
In this whimsical tale of footballing artistry and high-seas adventure, Blackpool emerge the victors, adding another epic chapter to their League One voyage. Until the next time these teams clash, may their journeys be filled with fair winds.

That's definitely how @td53 writes his blogs.
 
Funnily enough, I have to be aware of LLMs in my work and indeed, when training people on their strengths and weaknesses I have used AI generated match reports of Blackpool games to highlight how easy misinformation is to generate and then go under the radar.

Very creative well written and highly entertaining article. Bravo.
However I'm sure we went 2-0 up 🤣

Matt GPT.

Able to confidently spout shit on any topic in a vaguely persuasive way. Sometimes right, sometimes wrong. Always certain.

Bants aside, I could actually write a short book on LLMs and how they relate to creativity but I suspect there's not really the appetite for it.

I don't use them ever on my blogs. I am however trying to write something longer form and within the process (as opposed to the actual writing) they're very useful.

They're also very useful for proofing and generating some surprisingly helpful feedback on readability.

Whether you like it or not, I'm going to explain - Basically, Chat GPT and that are 'ok' at producing things. The real power of them though comes when you work in conjunction with them and use them to shape/guide your work - i.e. in the context of writing - 'Chat GPT - read this section and tell me what you think the underlying themes are and whether the introduction captures that and prepares the reader for the content that follows' or 'Chat GPT, read this section and suggest ten contrasting ways in which the next section could develop the ideas'

The thing I'm trying to write now, I want to learn from what I did with the first book - which I was really pleased to finish, but I felt lacked the eye of an editor or a proof reader outside of TAM who was kind enough to read it in his spare time before I published it and confirm there were no glaring errors. As a one man band, it's mental how much you can simulate the process of a creative team with something like Chat GPT and whilst I've no intention of using to write stuff in my name, I love how I can have a constructive creative feedback on something in seconds and how that means I don't have to grovel to publishers, or conform to their style sheets etc.

It's there that the power lies - it accelerates the creative process and is weirdly human like. What I do for a living has changed a lot in the last 3 or 4 years and I find myself using GPT like a coach - I haven't really had a mentor or anything to learn a totally new role, but GPT has been amazing at helping me work out what to do - I almost never ask it to 'do' anything - I ask it 'how to do' or 'to review what I'm thinking/have done' and so on and the fact it is infinitely patient with me is incredibly useful.

In some ways, teaching people how to use a LLM (large language model) is really interesting - it's kind of teaching them to think metacognitively - to think of questions and to critically review answers and what questions will refine the answers. The superficial response to AI is 'it will do everything for us' - the truth is probably 'it will do some things - but really, it will refine the processes of many others'

TD53 Gemini Ultra takes it to the next level and is natively multi-modal. Give it a try when it's released.

Fuckin ell I should keep my gob shut. 😆

But actually, that's really interesting. What is the difference between LLM and AI? Or is that a daft question? I have a feeling it is ...

LLM is a type of AI model. It processes huge amounts of data to deliver an interactive user experience which can generate content hence the term genAI. More traditional AI looks to solve specific problems such as forecasting using regression models.

Large language models have read most of anything and everything and kind of guess what pattern of language best fits the prompt you give. Sort of.

If you think of them as a human, they're basically very good at coming up with answers that 'sound right' without actually 'knowing' anything really.

What is weird is how they can sort of 'act' - if you tell them to answer you 'as a pirate' or 'as a pessimistic climate evangelist' they're very good at identifying the patterns of language associated with a given role and that can be quite fascinating in terms of shaping how you get worthy responses back.

You have to remember that no one truly understands these things. Even the people who build the likes of GPT and such are a bit baffled as to how, exactly, they work...

no its just weird seeing it type an answer. 64 next week . how tech has moved on in my sons lifetime . he is 38.

We had four applications for one of our jobs which were practically identical. Wasn't sure whether it was the same person using four IDs, or Chat GPT doing its thing to the same advert.

I'm 44 - I think it's been amazing to think I've lived through the uptake of the personal computer, the internet, the mobile phone (and then the smartphone) and now AI.

Those things make my childhood seem a long, long distant world. They're not all good impacts but it fascinates me.
 
AND now there

ahh ahh. my son runs an ELECTRIC car. WOW. every time we park up at Bloomerz there is always someone taking a look. . its cost effecctive against his business. He would NEVER go back to a conventional engine. WE will be there on the 30TH . People call them fit to burn but he wont be parted from his electrickery car.

which is what was reported this morning about misinformation being used in the G.E 2024. Its happened recently and will continue. but voters will have made their minds up before they cast their vote. So i dont see it affecting the result.
