What is AI?

What is AI?

 Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a computer or a robot controlled by a computer to do tasks that are usually done by humans because they require human intelligence and discernment.

-- artificial intelligence | Definition, Examples, and Applications | Britannica

What is AI?

 i.e. Artificial intelligence is when a computer or robot can do something that usually only humans can do.

* This simple definition was created by asking an AI to summarize the previous definition in a way that a second grade student could understand it.

Summarize and Simplify

Frame the task in a way that sets the expectation for the desired results:

My second grader asked me what this passage means:
"""
Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2 (GPT-2) is an open-source artificial intelligence created by OpenAI in February 2019. GPT-2 translates text, answers questions, summarizes passages, and generates text output on a level that, while sometimes indistinguishable from that of humans, can become repetitive or nonsensical when generating long passages. It is a general-purpose learner; it was not specifically trained to do any of these tasks, and its ability to perform them is an extension of its general ability to accurately synthesize the next item in an arbitrary sequence. GPT-2 was created as a "direct scale-up" of OpenAI's 2018 GPT model, with a ten-fold increase in both its parameter count and the size of its training dataset.

I rephrased it for them, in plain language that a second grader can understand:

GPT-2 is a computer program that can translate from one language to another, answer questions about what it read, and summarize passages. It was created by taking a computer program that could do those things, and then adding many more parts to it. This made it better at doing them.

Data Extraction from Unstructured Data

Parsing unstructured data is hard. Extracting unstructured addresses is very hard. So, let's give a few examples, some of which have missing data, to tell it what we want:

Writing Stories

Start with a simple prompt, and a few sentences:

You are a fantasy novel author. You are writing a short story:
"""
Skant grunted softly and adjusted his grip on the game sledge that he pulled. The half moon was low in the sky tonight, and the hunt had lasted longer than he had hoped, but Skant had no problem seeing the trail that he followed as it slipped between trees and along the contours of the flattening ground, towards his home. His ancestry cursed him as much as it blessed him, but in this place, not so far from where his ancient ancestors once called home, it blessed him. He would be there soon, and tomorrow he would cut and hang the meat to dry.

GPT-3 -- Examples!

Writing Stories

Let GPT-3 do the rest!

Skant was not alone on the hunt. His sister, Shan, walked behind him, her large ears flicking from side to side and her eyes taking in every detail of the forest that they passed through. Behind Shan, silent and unseen, was a third member of their pack, a small brown-furred creature with wide ears and the eyes of a hunter. The creature moved silently through the forest, and it could smell the creatures that Skant could not. It was an invaluable ally, one that Skant had known for almost half his life. He had raised it from a cub, and in turn, it had saved his life more than once.

Skant was looking forward to a warm meal and a good night's sleep. Tomorrow he would be cutting wood for the fire, and then he would be off to trade with the other clans. The hunt had gone well, and the dried meat would fetch a good price. Skant had hunted for this clan for all of his adult life. He was a good hunter, and the clan had prospered under his leadership and his, and SHan's, guidance.

"Wait, Shan." Skant stopped his sledge and put a hand out to stop Shan. "Something is wrong."

"What is it?" Shan asked, her voice low and her eyes wide.

"Something is not right," Skant said, his nose twitching as he tried to make sense of the scents he was picking up.

"It is nothing." Shan said, "We have had a good hunt, and we are almost home. Let's go back to the camp."

"Something is not right," Skan said, "My ears tell me that." Skant stopped and pulled the sledge up. He looked at his sister and said, "Something is not right."

Skant was not afraid, but he knew that there was something in the forest that should not be there. He looked at Shan, "Wait here."

"No." Shan said.

"Shan," Skant said, "I need you to stay here and guard the meat. I will go and get the cub."

"No," Shan said again, "This is my hunt. It is my meat, and I will take it home. We will go together."

"There is something in the forest," Skant said, "I smell it. I cannot see it, but I can smell it. I must go and find it."

"Then I will go with you." Shan said, "We will find it together."
