Just weeks after releasing an API for ChatGPT, OpenAI announced GPT-4. Meanwhile, everyone is rushing to integrate GPTs into their product. I've listed 5 takeaways. inthepocket.com/blog/do-or-d…

My open call for an accessibility passport: an easy way to set all relevant accessibility settings on a new device or platform. What do you think? medium.com/@pvermaer/open-ca…

Toasters have blinking lights, cars have speedometers. Should chatbots have dashboards too? A speculative essay👉 The System Model and the User Model: Exploring AI Dashboard Design arxiv.org/abs/2305.02469

A worrying trend for me is integrating the likes of ChatGPT in a product without exposing any of its underlying confidence levels. This (arguably very interesting) approach from Instacart shows an LLM giving dietary recommendations for your kids. openai.com/blog/introducing-…

As a user, none of this tells you that this is not per se _good_ advice. It spouts a response in a way that sounds very confident without any explainability. I hope we get to see some Model cards soon as a first step. modelcards.withgoogle.com/ab…

An example of how dangerous this can be. LLMs don’t know anything about food safety but it will generate something anyhow. Here it’s easy to spot but what if it said to add 1 tablespoon of bleach to your rice? That could sound like a cooking hack… theguardian.com/world/2023/a…

"Learning how to talk to an AI is going to be one of the most essential skills of the 21st Century" says @heykahn Is it? I hope we can make AI-powered products that work like users expect. Having to write long prompts for everything is'nt very usable. Let's move beyond the prompt

OpenAI just dropped GPT-4. Now, companies are racing to integrate GPTs into their products. Everyone who follows should therefore learn from their wins & mistakes. Our strategist @pvermaer gives you 5 key takeaways about integrating GPTs into your product: hubs.li/Q01H7S0V0

Creating awareness about mistakes is where these integrations fall short. Notion AI puts under each result “Al responses can be inaccurate or misleading.” That's the equivalent of car manufacturers putting “Objects in mirror are closer than they appear”.

Make sure to tailor your AI output and tone of voice to the context of your users and adapt it according to the underlying probabilities. As humans we express facts and guesses differently and our systems should do so too.

This is an interesting take from Bing to expose some of ChatGPT's parameters in a way that's meaningful to users. More creative or more precise? Leave some agency to the user and create the right expectations in doing so. blogs.bing.com/search/march_…

And a valuable lesson for designing ML-powered products: create the right expectations about what your product can and can’t do as well as signal when you’re not sure!
One lesson connected to ChatGPT is that reliable pple aren't those who have good answers in general, but those who answer ONLY things they know v. well. When lost, you'd rather get no direction than a wrong one. Real doctors let you know what is outside their expertise.

“Clippy” is back! 🙃 All productivity tools launch their own interface for queries. GTM advantage will rule as AI becomes widely available. ...leads to uncomfortable realization: in age of AI, if you don’t own the interface, you’re just assembling training data for those who do.
