The real game changer is the new "GPTs" feature in GPT4, where you can now configure your own GPT "personnality" with precise instructions of how it must interacts with you. With that, you get perfect consistancy with its answers. You can make a GPT for co-writing, one for data analysis based on your topics or specific needs, and one as a reading assistant (such as summarizing and etc...). Limitation made from the lack of "rules" and "chaotic behaviour" is now gone. And the options to create your own AI assistant are limitless. What a year. Thanks for your videos, always nice to get news from you about the world of academia!
@@kathrin9674 Pretty much just crafting and crafting... trial and error. For example as a reading assistant, i gave him precise instructions on what to look for in the articles i provide him and how to summarize it in a constant format so i can just upload a pdf and it automatically takes out what i want. The "normal" GPT4 was doing the exact same thing but I always had to delimits my needs at every single chat i was doing. Now those "preface" rules are pre-established before asking what I need. There is gonna error for sure. You can't take what it gives you as it is. But there's some crazy time saving trick.
Hi, Andy! I've got a couple of important questions for you. 1. Can you make such reviews of apps with the participation of the creator? Meaning can you get in touch with the guys who created Petal and make a review together - you doing your exploration of it and them explaining things and showing stuff. I think this way it would be very informative and more interesting. We will get to know more about the app and the creators will be given the chance to show it in its best light. 2. Can you make a video about how to use Chat gpt or other app locally for academic purposes? Can we use Petal or other app of the sort locally on our machine and feed it with all the data we want? I think that would make us more willing to really safely use it.
Great video as always, Andy! As a doctoral student, I find your channel extremely helpful. :) can you make a video about modified GPTs (new ChatGPT features) for research?
Mate, I'm so glad you got caught and ended up running this amazing channel. It helps to see another fellow scientist that's strives to do something impactful in spite of the current state of 🦇 🧹 Academia 🦇 👻
Dr S, I actually like writing...but my professors think I suck. Can you talk about the best tool for using AI to work as my editor? I write and it goes through and replaces my professor for edits. I can go through the edits and put stuff in my own words and then resubmit...
I find it incredibly ironic that many of the ex academics of RU-vid who are calling out their industry for a complete lack of ethics, turn around and make money off of undisclosed partnerships with sponsors, partner with sponsors like betterhelp, masterworks, and established titles (all scams, some actively dangerous) as if it's not unethical if the people you're harming don't have PhDs.
I get following error while uploading my pdfs. "AI performance may be degraded for documents with more than 1,000,000 characters. Please consider splitting them into smaller sections if possible."
Until people improve the metadata and paradata, GPT-AI will be limited. Metadata is improved by AI companies paying for human reinforced learning, but paradata is harder, less understood and less focused. But AI runs on labels and tags and is only as good as those labels and tags how those labels and tags are created, and why.
Dr. Stapleton, I hate to say it, but I don't think the computer is lacking in its ability to answer questions, I think you just don't ask structurally good questions. What does "best" mean in the context of your research: most efficient, most conclusive data, best support to the hypothesis, perhaps it is the one with the most fluent language or grammar... you asked it a question that was too vague for it to answer logically without making some assumptions about your meaning.
Hi Andy, love your videos, I listen to them every morning before I set out to the lab. I have a question for you. Do you think depending on AI for research assistance will end up getting biased? In the sense that in search engines, SOP modified entries would always get a preference. (Also I don't know computer science, I'm a biology student, so I'm really just curious about if this could be a problem)
A tool like this still relies on you going and finding articles from multiple sources. I think it will still rely on the Researcher using AI as only one way of finding information. AI helps streamline workflows - after using them for a while you realise that you still need to put effort into guiding them and getting the best from them.
@@DrAndyStapleton I see what you mean, however given it has learning capabilities, if it goes as far as to give suggestions on future steps one might take, or suggest other papers, for newbies (and even easy going researchers) there is a very real chance to have a biased literature review. So with AI tools in research, how far would you feel is too far?
Unlikely because he also covered claude and anthropic. I tested these with petal now. So far it seems like Claude explains much better, but claude has a MUCH lower context window and couldnt use large pdfs.
This one is the first AI I have seen that acts like a human. Most people, when you ask them hard questions, say “I don’t know”. This AI does that, too! Breakthrough. 😂
An interesting tool... but are you using an affiliate link, because if you are must disclose it or RU-vid may slap you on the wrist, and if you are profiting from it you should declare this to your viewers. I like your videos, an unbiased view of academic tools, but if you're being financially incentivised I would like to know.
Hi Andy, you've probably noticed that ChatGPT has made an update which allows creating your own custom GPTs for a specific purpose, like assistants. It would be really interesting to see how you create a custom GPT for avengers academia and PhD research purposes. What do you think about that?
Hmmm.... Honesty, i am not happy with this video. Most of the times the service didnt do what you want, and at other times it executed instructions but incorrectly. Furthermore, any AI service can spit out responses, but the question is.... are the information correct? The few demonstrations of the service in this video have already shown me that it is useless. I need to be able to trust a service. Im using some services from your other videos, but I wont try out this one, sorry pal.
I didn't like your video this time. It seems you are exploring the app in front of the camera for the 1st time. I would prefer you had prepared your speech more carefully before.
•> I believe we are meant to be like Jesus in our hearts and not in our flesh. But be careful of AI, for it is just our flesh and that is it. It knows only things of the flesh (our fleshly desires) and cannot comprehend things of the spirit such as peace of heart (which comes from obeying God's Word). Whereas we are a spirit and we have a soul but live in the body (in the flesh). When you go to bed it is your flesh that sleeps but your spirit never sleeps (otherwise you have died physically) that is why you have dreams. More so, true love that endures and last is a thing of the heart (when I say 'heart', I mean 'spirit'). But fake love, pretentious love, love with expectations, love for classic reasons, love for material reasons and love for selfish reasons that is a thing of our flesh. In the beginning God said let us make man in our own image, according to our likeness. Take note, God is Spirit and God is Love. As Love He is the source of it. We also know that God is Omnipotent, for He creates out of nothing and He has no beginning and has no end. That means, our love is but a shadow of God's Love. True love looks around to see who is in need of your help, your smile, your possessions, your money, your strength, your quality time. Love forgives and forgets. Love wants for others what it wants for itself. Take note, love works in conjunction with other spiritual forces such as faith and patience. We should let the Word of God be the standard of our lives not AI. If not, God will let us face AI on our own and it will cast the truth down to the ground, it will be the cause of so much destruction like never seen before, it will deceive many and take many captive in order to enslave them into worshipping it and abiding in lawlessness. We can only destroy ourselves but with God all things are possible. God knows us better because He is our Creater and He knows our beginning and our end. Our prove text is taken from the book of John 5:31-44, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Daniel 7-9, Revelation 13-15, Matthew 24-25 and Luke 21. Let us watch and pray... God bless you as you share this message to others.
