They basically said that if people knew what it really was they wouldn’t like it anymore

AI is inherently unethical and I have better things to do with my time.

Generative AI is a glorified search engine. It rarely creates. That’s why it’s “generate” and not “create”, however, they market it as if it’s creative

so uh, AI is a small part of my doctorate's research. In general, the public absolutely needs to be more AI literate. it has good and valis uses, and if centers are set up correctly (which they're not right now) they can have far less impact on the environment. We need regulations, we also can't just be saying "no AI period"

At work we have a weekly company wide ai workshop. They talk about new features and use cases for work but nothing about the technicalities and it's limits... It's all about productivity

Violetta Mezzanotte :
they're only giving us access to the crappiest, barely-useful versions of AI and keeping the good AIs for themselves. If you've ever tried using it on a truly high-level, multi-layered, complex problem, then you quickly see that it's garbage.

Yeah, I think it really depends on what is meant by “consumer AI.” I couldn’t access the paper, but I assume it doesn’t mean more productivity focused tools. I think well designed, well grounded, transparent, and adequately scoped tools have a better chance with the AI literate crowd. I build great AI tools for a living that don’t pretend to be something they’re not and they get great reception.

haha really funny, in my phd i also found in my results that my computer science students were less trusting of AI too after training on quality assurance of AI

"you should learn what it is, what it isn't and how it works" is my stance. Haven't actively used any of it yet and not planning on it

Prof_Laguerre :
My bosses keep basically telling me I’m using it wrong because they have “successful” projects at home. It writes good code docs, but actual work on enterprise systems it’s sloppy, inconsistent, overly verbose, writes self succeeding tests, builds in hardcoded fallbacks and bypasses for errors, doesn’t understand how to develop for systems outside of the local environment, and struggles with things as basic as cross platform os pathing. I’ve seen better from second year comp sci interns.

I was required to learn about it and to use it at my job. I was also mandated to find ways to use it in my department's work to relieve us from rote/mundane/uncomplex work. It turned out that attempting to design an AI tool to address the tasks that would have been seemingly perfect for AI would have taken more work hours than having staff do those tasks for years to come

Vera Archibald 🇨🇦 :
I am waiting for a bit of consensus on a multi-dimensional taxonomy of AI use. Otherwise, “AI use” is such a broad and heterogeneous term as to be useless. At the very least, there is a wide diversity of use cases, users, approaches, principles and values — as only a few of the dimensions. Unless we have a more specific way of talking about AI, how and by whom it is being used and for what, it flattens and homogenizes perspectives and research findings (in some cases). I’m thinking how much fun it would be to co-develop that with a varied group of people across disciplines in academia, in various kinds of professional roles, educators we all levels, and in the community at large.

And yet more motivation for companies to use magic-coded language and imagery for their AI tools.

😵💫😵💫😵💫 :
One of the first work things I was supposed to do with AI was try to use it to write a company policy where my role was knowing the laws the policy works around. Seeing those results definitely deterred me from using it for anything where accuracy is important.

Dustin :
Fascinated by LLM technology and the many uses it could have to bridge the gap between people and the data on computers. Read many books and papers, built my own SD tensor model, have my own LMStudio and KoboldAI setups and a OpenClaw instance to play with the tech. Zero interest in the companion/second brain/generative stuff offered by popular Chat-AI services.

Hekatonicosachoron :
I'm seeing a lot of the moralism around AI stuff and basically think that people are going to turn away from that message the same as when I know too much about a topic and they think I'm just not being fair to their side. If people knowing about how the chat bots work will make them less eager to use them, then I'll skip the morality claims and just teach them about the bots instead.

I use AI to track my thoughts. I wanted to write a document so I just randomly added points and it recorded and organized it all for me. It was great because my mind isn't very linear.

The guy from the AI company at the careers expo kept saying how you don't even need a software background to work with them, and in fact all of the software engineers he started the job with were gone now and only he was left. Like bro that's not a good sign

Cat Hicks, PhD :
I mean, a survey about self assessment of technical knowledge aren't really "objective tests". they also regressed ai literacy and ai receptivity while controlling for a bunch of things that probably have important relationships in the real world here like technology readiness and autonomy??? and there was a significant interaction with task type, where the ai literacy effect looks like it gets smaller for tasks where more objectivity is required. I'm not really sure the design of these surveys is answering these question of the relationship btw literacy and receptivity very well here.

anisotropic.reaction :
I'm high literacy in that I do pre-training and fine-tuning, and also build agentic systems. I tend to use ai only what it's useful for. the "magic" is ruined for me but it can surprise me from time to time

What are recommended resources for actual Ai literacy? I have to engage with it at work, and would like to do so effectively.
