the obvious way to scan a book would be to start at the beginning and scan each page one at a time, right? easy, logical, just need a camera and a robot arm that makes the same page-turning motion over and over? maybe some sort of smoothing thing that ensures the page lies flat?

gently caress no. start at the back of the book, vacuum up two facing pages, scan the insides of each one simultaneously with a linear array then flip them to the side and repeat. it's better for the book, it doubles your scanning rate, and there's only one moving part.

that's some sewing machine "what if we used two threads and put the eye of the needle in the tip" poo poo

Now I just want to read Rainbows End again... where Vinge's universe had decided that the "most efficient" way to scan a book was to drop it into a shredder and scan the pieces.

I absolutely love this kind of thing, so it's neat to see a video on it.

It's just a shame he gets one little nit wrong, because Japanese has both stress/intonation and pitch accent.

Huh? AFAIK Japanese doesn't have stress in the sense of stress accent like in English and intonation is not relevant to what is being discussed.

Yeah, I was forgetting that there's a different between pitch accent (which Japanese has) and stress accent where pitch-accent is high/low and stress-accent is strong/weak.

There are commonalities between the two, though - because if someone asks a question in Japanese, there's the same rising intonation at the end as there would for a question asked in English.

He should've had someone else feed AI the questions and slip them in with other students' tests to see if he could spot the AI answers. Pretty interesting regardless.

Basically it did like a median student in the class around 74%

Whats interesting is what it got wrong and how it got the questions wrong. It often starts out with the right concept and starts doing the math and then just veers off in the wrong direction and cant be convinced that its doing it wrong, in fact insisting upon obviously wrong facts to justify its answers (like insisting that 40 is larger than 63, very basic math stuff that is incorrect)

There is also a pretty interesting theory that things like ChatGPT may eventually become like Wikipedia. In the beginning everyone mostly intrinsically trusted wikipedia because it was this new and gigantic repository of information the likes of which we had never seen. Then we realized that it wasnt always right, and was fallible. Now we treat it as something of a starting point or a jumping off point, but we generally accept that it is not 100% correct 100% of the time and everyone knows that.

He posits that at least in the near term, ChatGPT may go the same way

It's almost as if algorithmically combined and controlled text processing models don't really understand the underlying concepts and have only been trained to seem confident, and that that in turn means it can be confidently wrong.
