I asked @jeremyphoward, anonymous, @Jsevillamol, and @tylercowen: "How can people get good at using AI?" @jeremyphoward (@AnswerDotAI, @FastDotAI) "Using AI tools correctly takes months and months of diligent study and practice. When you start doing it, you will be shit and you will get bad results. That's because you're shit at it, not because AI doesn't work." "NB: regardless of how good or how shit at it you are, you'll over-estimate how much it's helping you, because AI does the easy/early bits fast, but makes the harder/later bits much slower/harder, unless you're very careful!" Anonymous (ex-Frontier Lab) "It's valuable to know what context and data AI needs to be able to do a given task." "There's a Tyler Cowen idea that AI is like having 1000 research assistants. People who are good at having research assistants should be good at using AI." "What makes someone good at having 1000 research assistants or AI assistants? Basically it's around coordination. Packaging up work. Knowing what's important and having a really good sense of what you actually want. Invest in those skills." "The important thing is to have a model of what AI can and can't do. One way of getting that is to understand how AI models are trained." @Jsevillamol (@EpochAIResearch) "Understand the basics of how AI works. You don't need to learn to code but it helps a lot to understand how AI is trained." @tylercowen (GMU, MR) "Spend time working with the very best AI models."
