I regret to inform you that I have been dabbling in AI, using the 8 billion parameter version of Llama 3.1, the new LLM from Meta, running locally via Ollama. This example requests titles and abstracts from Google Scholar and classifies them using Llama.
See knitted R yonder.
An interesting analysis of the output of LLMs (Hicks et al., 2024), according to a typology developed by Harry Frankfurt. That ChatGPT and co aren’t people with agency constrains the genre that can apply, similarly to analyses of trust (see, e.g., Castelfranchi and Falcone on whether a computer can trust).
