AI Outputs Are Not Facts Unlike a search engine, your large language models (LLMs) are not necessarily ‘researching’ information - they are generating statistically plausible text - kind of like autocomplete on your phone. Just like autocomplete changes kate to late all the time, AI can make mistakes too. They hallucinate — producing confident-sounding incorrect information. Never deploy AI outputs in medical, legal, financial, or safety-critical contexts without human review. https://tutorials.shecodes.com.au/ai-fundamentals/lets_get_the_language_right/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://tutorials.shecodes.com.au/ai-fundamentals/lets_get_the_language_right/index.html Let’s build some of the language and landscape around AI. What do we mean when we say “AI” Let’s unpack some of the common terms you might be hearing. ​ Narrow AI Machine Learning Deep Learning Large Language Models Generative AI AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) Systems designed for one specific task (spam filters, recommendation engines, face unlock). Also includes all chatbots, and is the opposite end of the spectrum to AGI we will discuss later. Most AI in the world today is narrow AI. https://tutorials.shecodes.com.au/ai-fundamentals/becoming_a_secret_agent/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://tutorials.shecodes.com.au/ai-fundamentals/becoming_a_secret_agent/index.html What Are AI Agents? An AI agent is an LLM that can take actions in the world, not just generate text. It perceives its environment, reasons about what to do, takes an action, observes the result, and repeats. The ReAct loop (Reason + Act): OBSERVE → THINK → ACT → OBSERVE → THINK → ACT → ... This pattern, formalised by Yao et al. (2022), underlies most modern agent frameworks. https://tutorials.shecodes.com.au/ai-fundamentals/colab_together/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://tutorials.shecodes.com.au/ai-fundamentals/colab_together/index.html Let’s try some things in practice To do this we are going to use a Google Colab notebook - it runs in the browser so no downloads are needed.
