meeting idea: AI Explorers' Reports
AI is an exploding field. Lots of stuff is new to us. Many of us are trying things. I think that it would be interesting if those of us that have experimented would chat in a meeting about their experiences. For example: - what were you trying to do? - how is it working out? - what approaches are you thinking might be interesting or productive? - what approaches have you tried and how did they fail? - did you have fun? I would love to hear explorers tales.
At work, we had a 3-day hackathon on nothing except AI, and it was heavily subscribed, so I expect that might be true of the larger community --dave On 2024-02-13 21:49, D. Hugh Redelmeier via talk wrote:

I've probably mentioned before how I asked ChatGPT to help me write some SQL that had utterly confounded me (joining 3 tables and aggregating some results). Its answer was correct (use a cross join between two unrelated tables, A & C, then aggregate against table B). I was impressed. The other day I watched a Fireship YouTube channel compare ChatGPT 4 vs Gemini. He fed each some minified JS and the results not just de-minified it, but explained what it did. Nice. Then, he asked "write a poem about JavaScript in the style of Bukowski". ChatGPT gave up and wrote something in the style of a limerick or something. Gemini - wow, that was some very impressive writing! A dark and moody poem about writing JS through the night, full of angst, it seemed pretty spot on from what I remember about Bukowski's writing style. Interesting and advanced rhyming schemes used too. I foresee a lot of use in both creative writing and writing & debugging software. rb
I have confirmed that Marcel Gagné will lead our March meeting on "Open Source AI", as was discussed at both the recent Friday and Tuesday discussions. It is an open question whether he should give a presentation, or simply lead a round-table with a brief introduction and a list of relevant topics that should be discussed. Based on our discussions, the latter appears the more popular choice. Thoughts? - Evan On Tue, Feb 13, 2024 at 9:50 PM D. Hugh Redelmeier via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:

If Marcel can and would fill a meeting himself, that would be great. We could have a separate meeting for explorers' tales. But I admit that it might be hard to guess how many would come forward.
