Large language models

Large language models (LLM's) are software programs that are also known as a form of "artificial intelligence" (AI); LLM's are specifically an aspect of generative AI. This wiki area is for learning, teaching, and research related to LLM's.

Discourse and ideas edit

Here is discourse and ideas related to large language models. Perhaps once significantly developed/refined, some of these can have their own sub-page or become a unique learning resource.

Learning wikis as training data edit

Unless laws change, Creative Commons content appears to be valid training data for LLM's. As LLM's progress and advance, more and more data can be utilized to training increasingly complex models. Learning wikis devoted to learning, teaching, and resource, that allow for original research and original content creation (related to learning, teaching, and research), can potentially be extremely valuable (in terms of educational value) for large language models. Perhaps in the future (if this does not already exist), large language models will be able to continuously be trained on, retain, and learn from new data and information. Perhaps in the future, an open source large language model could only be trained on Creative Commons data, and therefore, all generated content would also be licensed under Creative Commons.

Discussion questions edit

Here are some learning and teaching oriented discussion questions related to large language models. Humans can use language and mental effort to explore these ideas collaboratively, or some of these could be used as prompts to see how an LLM might respond.

Would a large language model that is only trained on Creative Commons licensed data only be capable of generating responses to prompts that can also be rightly and correctly licensed under a Creative Commons license?
How might large language models affect learning and research. Will LLM's eventually seen like calculators are in math and sciences now? But for everything (all subjects/topics, including math, physics, ethics, biology, psychology, chemistry, engineering, art)?
What are some ethical considerations related to large language models that should be considered?
What are some pros and cons to open source large language models? Will open source LLM's likely become more advanced the propriety LLM's eventually? What do you think?
How can large language models help to advance and accelerate technological automation in ways that will benefit all of humanity?
In what ways can large language models help programmers to code?
Can music be thought of a language within the realm of large language models?
What is differentiable computing and how does differentiable computing relate to large language models?
How can teachers utilize large language models to help accelerate student learning and to help students learn more efficiently?

Educational prompt ideas edit

These are original prompt ideas regarding ways to learn about large language models, and also to explore using LLM's for learning, teaching, and research. Input these into your preferred LLM (without quotes) to see what results are generated. LLM's might produce interesting or useful answers in response to these prompts. Some of these prompts may be interesting or useful for discussions among and between humans.
