I saw this today, new LLMs pretend to have inner thoughts.... not sure what to think about it. 🤔 I find them already too talkative in general. 😅

Yes I had immediately the same question 🤣 I'm feeling stupid 😅🫠

I just asked Claude about me and it said I am a VERY obscure person. 🥲

Then, it asked whether I knew her, I said 'Yes, I am her.' It replied 'Oh, I apologize Dr. Seminck!'. 😂😅

Sorry, "relatively obscure". Already better than "fairly obscure " 😅

Fairly obscure 🤣😂

I love the fact you can plant them outside and they come back every year.

I was wondering whether performance could be enhanced working on very explicit promting. You ask again and again to do a better job and explain why the output is wrong, going on until you get something acceptable. Then, repeat 100x and save these chats, use them as training data. Could that work?

Oh great, happy to hear that. Merry Christmas by the way! 🎅

Dear Ted, this reminds me of an article I wrote some years ago. We developed a so-called 'reference corpus' which is available in the paper's materials, but I can also send it to you by email (all in French though 🥐) . culturalanalytics.org/article/3758...

Facinating... I put this publication on my list to read.

And the runner ups of the Best Short Paper Award:

🎖"Abbreviation Application: A Stylochronometric Study of Abbreviations in the Oeuvre of Herne’s Speculum Scribe" by Caroline Vandyck & @mikekestemont.bsky.social

🎖"SCIENCE IS EXPLORATION" by @rmmhicke.bsky.social & Ross Deans Kristensen-McLachlan

Yes I agree, it depends on the research question. I think that researchers should be aware that a little number of books shows signs of a high degree of verbatim memorization. It might be useful to exclude them from experiments to avoid bias, depending on what you're doing exactly.
