Vivre avec ChatGPT
Et si l'intelligence artificielle nous rendait plus humain ? L'intelligence artificielle a fait son entrée dans nos vies sous le nom de Midjourney, Dall-E, Stable Diffusion, ou encore ChatGPT. Une nouvelle ère s'ouvre devant nous, où l'on promet à chacun d'être assisté et soutenu pour réfléchir, programmer, traduire, séduire, s'enrichir, tricher aussi, mentir, créer des images, des discours ou des récits - avec une facilité et une vitesse déconcertante. Mais qu'en est-il vraiment?? Ce livre propose une enquête approfondie sur ChatGPT, ses origines, son fonctionnement, ses potentialités, les astuces pour mieux l'utiliser, mais aussi ses biais et ses pièges. ChatGPT pense-t-il vraiment, est-il conscient, peut-il nous remplacer?? Plutôt qu'idéaliser l'intelligence artificielle, plutôt que s'en effrayer?: il s'agit désormais de la comprendre le mieux possible, et d'apprendre à vivre avec.

In his book "Living with ChatGPT", Alexandre Gefen tells the story of ChatGPT, describing how years of collective human intelligence resulted in the creation of artificial intelligence.
From Heron of Alexandria’s first-ever vending machine in 125 CE, all the way to the Droz family’s musical, drawing, and writing automata in the late 18th century (to list only a few), humankind has been fantasizing about a tool that would allow it to focus less on repetitive bodily tasks and more on creative intellectual processes.
Gefen describes how Large Language Models are the result of years of technical and scientific evolution. These models are designed to simulate human thoughts using complex mathematical calculations, resulting in the so-called “distributional semantics,” which gives us the illusion of understanding human language. The book also discusses challenges such as cognitive laziness, labor displacement, and ethical dilemmas etc. Nevertheless, he suggests a smart way to embrace this technology and encourages humans to develop the “art of the prompt” to get the best out of it. Through thought experiments, the writer playfully chats with ChatGPT, challenges it, and pushes its boundaries.
To recommend this read, here's a quote: “The boundaries that ChatGPT is already pushing in our lives are, first and foremost, those of ignorance, silence, and misunderstanding. They are also, perhaps, those of banality: since ChatGPT can perform intellectual tasks that are the most ordinary and impersonal better than we can, it is up to us to be smarter, more inventive, and more sensitive… In a sense, while ChatGPT will make us conserve our energy for ordinary tasks, it will demand immense creativity from us in return. ChatGPT gives back the humanity it takes away elsewhere."

Gostei de ler um pouco da história da IA e do chatGPT. Proveitoso! Os prós e os contras, muito bom para abrir cabecinhas que só veem o negativo da questão. Agora é trazer a IA para o meu trabalho com os alunos... Até há bem pouco tempo eram os pais/explicadores a fazer os tpcs pelos alunos, agora são as ferramentas de IA... o que importa aqui, e o autor mostra-o com vários exemplos ao longo do livro, é usar a IA como uma ferramenta complementar do trabalho humano!

Lecture pour la fac. Je n'étais pas très emballée par cette lecture mais finalement, c'était très intéressant et les thèmes abordés font réfléchir à beaucoup de choses auxquelles je n'avais jamais pensé.
