• Ep. 234 Understanding AI - part 3 - AI as a creative tool

  Send us a text “[Artificial Intelligences] AI are connection machines - which is why they can seem so creative.”  As part 3 of learning more about AI we explore what it can do as a creative tool.  I begin by giving you a little update on my life - and some biggish news for me.  I then spend the rest of the time talking about AI as a creative tool.  I mention how good ChatGPT is at making connections and the strengths it has in this department.  I also mention some of the drawbacks when using Chat in this way.  I then share the process I went through using chat to help me design and plan the front yard garden beds so they go from the deer’s salad bar to a beautiful landscape that is deer resistant.  It was so fun and I am excited to remake my front landscape.  For show notes, transcripts and sources go to www.findingthefloor.com/ep234 I would love to hear from you! You can reach me at [email protected] or dm @findingthefloor on instagram. Thanks for listening!!Thanks to Seth Johnson for my intro and outro original music. I love it so much!

• Ep. 233 Understanding AI - part 2 - Aligning AI and the principles of use

  Send us a text  “Focus on the practical use of AI”  I continue the series to Understand AI.  This week I share the topic of Aligning AI and mention the 4 principles suggested by Ethan Mollick in the book, Co-Intelligence - Living and working with AI. I begin by sharing the idea of the paper clip theory suggested by a philosopher.  The worry that AI could either create the apocalypse or our salvation. Then I go through each of the principles Mollick suggests as a way to guide us in our use of  AI.     For show notes go to www.findingthefloor.com/ep233I would love to hear from you!

• Ep. 232 Reflecting on the Michigan LDS Church shooting and fire

  Send us a text  “I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their afflictions.”  This week I share some of my thoughts after the tragic church shooting and fire that took place in Grand Blanc, Michigan. I mention that I am trying to choose faith not fear as a reaction to what happened.  I talk about 3 stories from the scriptures to look at other situations where people have been under a threat of some kind if they were to worship or pray.  I talk of the Anti-Nephi-Lehies, Daniel in the Lion’s Den and Alma. I remind you, that just like the scripture says, God is with us in the hard and tragic events.   I then invite all of us to do good and also to look for the good that is happening around us.   I would love to hear from you! You can reach me at [email protected] or dm @findingthefloor on instagram. Thanks for listening!!Thanks to Seth Johnson for my intro and outro original music. I love it so much!

• Ep. 231 Understanding AI - part one

  Send us a text “Large Language Models or LLMs are simply predicting what words would come next due to all of their learning.”  Prompted by my husband's suggestion I have decided to have a series of episodes dedicated to understanding AI better.  Instead of being scared of AI or simply ignoring it, I use the book, Co-Intelligence, Living and Working with AI by Ethan Mollick.   Part one of this series is just a basic understanding of how the large language model came to be, like ChatGPT.  I talk about the idea of a digital brain. I share how it had its initial learning with millions of words and information and the analogy of an apprentice chef learning to combine ingredients to make recipes.  I then tell of the adding of human feedback to its learning of millions of words that it is learning.  The key to all of this is adding certain weights to certain words to help AI better understand the human language.  For a very complex machine - I try to keep it simple to understand the basics of what it is doing. For show notes go to www.findingthefloor.com/ep231 I would love to hear from you!
