AI Models Are Improving Every Year

How long until the 'dumbest' models are smarter than your average person? Thanks for sharing this article @Adam Danz

Prompts Matter

I was in a meeting the other day and a coworker shared a smiley face they created using the AI Chat Playground. The image looked something like this:
And I suspect the prompt they used was something like this:
"Create a smiley face"
I imagine this output wasn't what my coworker had expected so he was left thinking that this was as good as it gets without manually editing the code, and that the AI Chat Playground couldn't do any better.
I thought I could get a better result using the Playground so I tried a more detailed prompt using a multi-step technique like this:
"Follow these instructions:
- Create code that plots a circle
- Create two smaller circles as eyes within the first circle
- Create an arc that looks like a smile in the lower part of the first circle"
The output of this prompt was better in my opinion.
These queries/prompts are examples of 'zero-shot' prompts, the expectation being a good result with just one query. As opposed to a back-and-forth chat session working towards a desired outcome.
I wonder how many attempts everyone tries before they decide they can't anything more from the AI/LLM. There are times I'll send dozens of chat queries if I feel like I'm getting close to my goal, while other times I'll try just one or two. One thing I always find useful is seeing how others interact with AI models, which is what inspired me to share this.
Does anyone have examples of techniques that work well? I find multi-step instructions often produces good results.

Regarding Recent Spam Attacks

Over the past several months our communities have been the target of ongoing spam attacks. Spam is a common issue online and spam prevention is something we include as part of our standard development processes. The most recent attempts appear to be specifically targeting our sites with a combination of manual and automated attacks, probing with a variety of content attempting to bypass our filters. Regrettably, the attacks sometimes make it through our defenses, cluttering your inboxes and the content in our communities.

Rest assured, we are dedicated to continuing to evolve our tools and improve our capabilities to meet the goal of eliminating all spam in our communities. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to get there.

Sincerely,

David Wey
