How do LLMs work? What do they do, what do they do badly, and what are their real risks and harms?
"AI" is everywhere these days, both in familiar software and in the discourse. In a lot of quarters, you'll hear claims that it will inevitably take over all jobs, that it will be able to do everything, and that those who don't use it will swiftly fall behind. Many creators want to resist these trends, or play with new tools at their own pace, but face pressure from employers and trouble navigating opt-out settings.
The SFWA Emerging Technology panel offers a hype-free discussion of how large language models work, and debunks some common areas of confusion. We'll talk about what they're good at, what they're likely to remain bad at, where they harm creators, and the risks involved with using them. And we'll talk about the difference between chatbots and non-generative AI methods. Our goal is to help attendees make mindful decisions about what role (if any) you want AI to play in your work, enforce those boundaries with employers and in software settings, and have something coherent to say to friends who "just asked ChatGPT."
A Writing Date is basically productivity through peer pressure and honestly, any co-working is welcome. Join us and our special guest host, K.A. Mielke!
