Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

So looking forward to our MA students' exhibition! I may be biased, but their creative team under Franziska Bax's curatorial leadership did a phenomenal job representing their "tumbling" reflections on trust & entanglement w the environment. If you're in Munich in April, go check it out!

The MA students at the RCC are happy to invite to the opening of their #exhibition 𝘵𝘢𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘶𝘦𝘯, 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘯, which they have created based on text passages of Amitav Ghosh’s 𝘎𝘶𝘯 𝘐𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥.

This is an unusual opportunity in Germany where the idea of Tenure track is relatively new. A 'W1' is basically an Assistant Professor, (although the Germans translate it to the sad-sounding 'Junior Professor').
