I am not sure the technical explanations are needed to use LLMs well (in fact I am pretty sure they aren’t) but they are useful for understanding their power and limitations.

By
–
Everyone needs to realize that there is no large corpus of writing in the post-ChatGPT world that is going to be entirely human. That doesn’t mean that the AI use is wrong, by the way. Many scientists hired editors to make their language clearer, we are seeing some of that here.

It is remarkable how people are willing to turn over their most intimate & personal writing tasks to AI first. People often tell me their first use of ChatGPT was for wedding toasts or a story for their kids or condolence note I wouldn't have expected that as the first use case

AI adoption curve accelerating despite early technology stage
By

Also, this is a really fast adoption curve for a technology that is, for most people, 16 months old. Just not a lot of support for the idea that AI use is topping out, though I would like to see more about usage over time trends.
