<p>Good AI research should tell us something about life, or it should help people. I hate seeing research about automating what people do. It's not a good goal for science or society! I was recently reminded of this by a paper applying LLMs to math.</p><p>This domain has many good questions: what do we mean when we say a person "solves math problems"? What are they actually doing? How is this like or not like what an LLM does? How might mathematicians benefit from this?</p><p>Instead, we get papers that pit an LLM against a human on a math problems dataset. This is great for claiming "AI has superhuman math abilities now!", but it's debatable whether good answers in a test-taking environment have anything to do with logic, reasoning, or creative problem solving. Instead of exploring to what extent LLMs are "really intelligent" vs. "stochastic parrots" (and perhaps the same question for humans), it reduces everything down to a number, one that hides the deeper problem and seems far more definitive than it is.<br><a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#ai</a> <a href="/tags/llm/" rel="tag">#llm</a></p>

<p>We present the first representative international data on firm-level AI use. We survey almost 6000 CFOs, CEOs and executives from stratified firm samples across the US, UK, Germany and Australia. We find four key facts. First, around 70% of firms actively use AI, particularly younger, more productive firms. Second, while over two thirds of top executives regularly use AI, their average use is only 1.5 hours a week, with one quarter reporting no AI use. Third, firms report little impact of AI over the last 3 years, with over 80% of firms reporting no impact on either employment or productivity. Fourth, firms predict sizable impacts over the next 3 years, forecasting AI will boost productivity by 1.4%, increase output by 0.8% and cut employment by 0.7%. We also survey individual employees who predict a 0.5% increase in employment in the next 3 years as a result of AI. This contrast implies a sizable gap in expectations, with senior executives predicting reductions in employment from AI and employees predicting net job creation.<br></p>From <a href="https://www.nber.org/papers/w34836" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>www.nber.org/papers/w34836</a><br><br><a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#AI</a> <a href="/tags/genai/" rel="tag">#GenAI</a> <a href="/tags/generativeai/" rel="tag">#GenerativeAI</a> <a href="/tags/economy/" rel="tag">#economy</a><br>
I wonder about using "failscene" to describe the current slate of AI tools and demos. In contrast with the demoscene, which is about getting very low powered computers to do cool things you wouldn't expect them to be able to do, the failscene is about getting very high powered computers to fail at doing boring things we already know how to do without them. Plus you can stylize it fAIlscene if you're inclined to.<br><br><a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#AI</a> <a href="/tags/genai/" rel="tag">#GenAI</a> <a href="/tags/generativeai/" rel="tag">#GenerativeAI</a> <a href="/tags/demoscene/" rel="tag">#demoscene</a> <a href="/tags/failscene/" rel="tag">#failscene</a><br><br><br>

<p>Reinforcement Learning is AI for playing games, planning actions, and doing things in the real world. It's extremely powerful, but also a fun and interesting topic to learn. I'm teaching myself now.</p><p>I was always intimidated by all the esoteric jargon and math in RL. The classic <a href="http://incompleteideas.net/book/the-book-2nd.html" rel="nofollow">Sutton and Barto text</a> clears that up nicely, though. It's one of the best text books I have ever studied, and it reveals RL is much less complex than it sounds.</p><p>I think the excessive mathiness comes from the question "is this policy optimal?" which is a natural place to start, and has been fruitful for the field.</p><p>Except, in practice it's rare we can find optimal policies for practical problems. Also, our mathematical formalisms often don't fit, which is why there are so many variations based on what information is available, and what you want to focus on. This produces the tangled mess of names and notations, but really it's just the same idea from subtly different angles.</p><p><a href="/tags/rl/" rel="tag">#rl</a> <a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#ai</a> <a href="/tags/programming/" rel="tag">#programming</a></p>

<p>I'm so confused. I just found a small body of literature applying LLMs to reinforcement learning type tasks, exploring the use of LLMs for "autonomous decision making."</p><p>I guess people are building more LLM agent systems, and we ought to understand them and what makes them better / worse at what they do.</p><p>But I still feel like LLMs are fundamentally not suited to decision making tasks. They don't weigh options and decide. At best, you could say they interpolate what a reasonable choice might look like based on the examples of people making choices in their training data.</p><p>That's... really not the same thing! Like, not at all. It's impressive that this sometimes works, but this seems very silly to me when we could be using actual RL systems that really are making informed decisions from experience, with mathematical rigor to estimate the quality of those choices.</p><p><a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#ai</a> <a href="/tags/llm/" rel="tag">#llm</a> <a href="/tags/rl/" rel="tag">#rl</a></p>
