Greetings,

If you want to get more from LLMs, practice problem formulation, the new candidate for top AI-related skill. I wonder if it could also enrich the relationships that people are having with AI partners?

• As LLMs keep getting better at understanding us, the key skill to learn for improving AI-human cooperation is problem formulation – precisely defining the problem to solve, along with the detailed steps needed to solve it. - Nejc Susec
  
  
• Stack Overflow, the programmers’ favorite place to seek help, is losing traffic due to ChatGPT – a worrying sign that helpful information might become harder to find online over time, as we switch from public forums to private chats with AI. - arXiv

• If you want to talk to your documents, but don’t want any data to leave your computer – try this tool, it ingests documents and answers questions, it’s private, and it even works offline. - GitHub
  
  
• Computer Science professor Philip Guo tried to build a product with ChatGPT – though it can’t build a working app from one prompt, it’s great at small, self-contained tasks for now, and it’s worse at teaching to code than it is at coding. - O’Reilly
  
  
• The market for AI dating services is flourishing – it’s not all bad, but there are signs that some people are already unhealthily obsessed with AI partners, so it’s unclear how this will influence society over time. - The Guardian
